22、art 13: Operating instructions Part 14: Guidline for the involvement of an inspection body independent of the manufacturer (TR) Although these Parts may be obtained separately, it should be recognised that the Parts are inter-dependent. As such, the design and manufacture of shell boilers requires t
23、he application of more than one Part in order for the requirements of the European Standard to be satisfactorily fulfilled. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgi
24、um, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.EN 12953-8:2001 (E) Issue 2 (2002:05) 4 1 Scope This Part of this European Standard specifies the requirements for safe
25、guards against excessive pressure in shell boilers as defined in EN 12953-1. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates, by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and, the publications
26、 are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references, the latest edition of the publication referred to applies (including amedment
27、s). EN 12953-1, Shell boilers Part 1: General. EN 12953-6, Shell boilers Part 6: Requirements for equipment for the boiler. prEN ISO 4126-1, Safety devices for protection against excessive pressure Part 1: Safety valves. 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this European Standard the terms an
28、d definitions given in EN 12953-1 and EN 12953-6 apply. 4 Requirements 4.1 General requirements for safeguards (safety pressure relief devices) 4.1.1 Generators, with the exception of open vented hot water generators, shall have at least one safety device sized for the rated output (see 4.2) of the
29、generator which shall ensure against excessive pressure. The device shall conform to prEN ISO 4126-1. For steam generators, a hot test shall additionally be performed on the generator. Additionally every superheater shall have at least one safety device on the outlet side. The capacity of this safet
30、y device shall be a minimum of 25 % of the maximum continuous rating. However, this requirement may be waived in the case of non-isolatable superheaters when the maximum metal temperature achieved does not exceed its design temperature. NOTE Safety valves of fully flooded hot water generators should
31、 open proportionally to the increase in pressure. 4.1.2 When a boiler is provided with an integral superheater without an intervening stop valve, the safety devices fitted on the superheater can be considered as forming part of the safety device capacity of the boiler. If an intervening stop valve i
32、s fitted, the safety devices shall not be considered. 4.1.3 There shall be no shut off devices between the boiler and its safety devices or between the safety devices and their points of discharge. 4.1.4 When an economizer is fitted to a boiler with an intervening stop valve between it and the boile
33、r, a safety device is required on the economizer. The capacity of this safety device shall not be counted as forming part of the relieving capacity of the boiler. Where a safety device is required for an economizer, the safety device capacity shall be calculated on the basis of the economizer therma
34、l capacity. 4.1.5 Safety valve seats of inside diameter smaller than 15 mm shall not be used. 4.1.6 It shall be possible to open safety valves with lifting gear at a pressure below the set pressure.EN 12953-8:2001 (E) Issue 2(2002:05) I 5 4.2 Discharge capacity 4.2.1 Steam boilers The certified disc
35、harge capacity of the safety device applicable to the boiler under consideration shall not be less than the maximum continuous rating. The calculation of the discharge capacity of the safety device in relation to the conditions of the steam for which no certified capacity is available, shall be in a
36、ccordance with prEN ISO 4126-1 and shall not be less than the required maximum continuous rating. Notwithstanding the requirements for safety devices herein, the safety devices fitted to any boiler (including non isolatable superheater and/or economiser) shall be capable of discharging all the steam
37、 produced at maximum continous rating without causing a pressure rise in excess of 10 % of the maximum allowable pressure of the boiler. 4.2.2 Hot water generators When safeguarding against excessive pressure in hot water generators, it shall be assumed that valves under water pressure will discharg
38、e steam at that saturated steam condition which corresponds to the safety valve set pressure. The safety device shall be so sized that the steam mass flow corresponding to the allowable heat output can be discharged without causing a pressure rise in excess of 10 % of the maximum allowable pressure.
39、 Alternatively, the safety valve shall be sized for the maximum expansion of the water volume and for the quantity of water to be fed by the feeding device at the maximum allowable pressure if, in the case of oil and gas firing systems, two pressure and two temperature limiters cut-off and lock-out
40、the energy supply when the respective limit values are exceeded. 4.3 Set pressures The safety device shall be set to lift at a pressure which shall be not higher than the maximum allowable pressure of the unit to which it is fitted. Where multiple safety devices are provided, the set pressures can b
41、e set so as to provide progressive opening, in which case at least one safety device shall respond if the maximum allowable pressure is reached. The requirements of 4.2 shall not be affected hereby. 4.4 Cross-sections and pressure losses in the inlet pipe of safety valves in accordance with prEN ISO
42、 4126-1 The cross section of the line leading to the safety valve (inlet pipe) shall not be less than the cross-section of the safety valve inlet. Direct-loaded safety valves shall be installed in the vertical position and the line leading to the safety valve (inlet pipe) should be as short and as s
43、traight as possible. The pressure loss in the inlet pipe shall not exceed 3 % of the pressure difference between the set pressure and the superimposed back pressure at the greatest mass flow to be discharged. A blow down of the installed safety valve (difference between set and reseating pressures)
44、of at least 5 % is a prerequisite to undisturbed functioning at this pressure loss. At a blow down of less than 5 %, the difference between the blow down and the pressure loss in the inlet pipe shall be at least 2 % of the pressure difference between set pressure and the superimposed back pressure.
45、4.5 Discharge lines The discharge system shall be designed and installed so as not to impair the required mass flow through the safety device. The outlet pipe cross-section shall not be less than the safety valve outlet cross-section. The diameter and length of outlet pipes, bends, silencers etc., d
46、etermines the build-up back pressure. These partsEN 12953-8:2001 (E) Issue 2 (2002:05) I 6 shall be so dimensioned and installed so that the allowable back pressure indicated by the valve manufacturer is not exceeded. Safety devices shall be safeguarded against damaging external influences, e.g. wea
47、ther, which may impair the functional capability of the safety device. The transfer of vibrations onto the safety device shall also be avoided. Safety device outlet pipes shall discharge safely. No water shall be allowed to accumulate in the outlet system. Where the pipe is endangered by freezing, i
48、t shall be protected accordingly. Taking into account the local operating conditions, the pipes shall also be dimensioned and installed so as to safely withstand the static, dynamic (reaction forces) and thermal loadings.EN 12953-8:2001 (E) Issue 2 (2002:05) 7 Annex ZA (informative) Clauses of this
