What is the difference between PRV and PSV? What will be governing case for sizing a PRV for boiler's de-aerator? Also how to calculate relieving temperature?

PSV on boiler de-aerator is design for following scenarios,
1. Inlet steam control valve vide opens.
2. blocked outlet (vent).
3. Blocked discharge (BFW).
3. Fire case if vessel is located below 25ft.
Relieving temp. will be a saturated temp of steam at relieving pressure (set pressure+ over pressure). because mostly steam will be released from PSV along with small quantity of non condensable gases such as air.

The governing case for the deaerator depends on the P&ID and whether valves fail open or closed.

1. Most people use those terms interchangeably.
2. For any process system, the best way to calculate relieving data is to simulate the system (distillation column, etc.) at relieving pressure. The results are all data needed for the relief line: flow, temperature, Mol Wt., etc.
