The reactor is equipped with full length cooling jacket.
Cooling water is always on. Outer shell is stainless steel.
Can we take water jacket as reduction factor in the fire case?
Cooling water is 6 barg, 10m3/h
Wet surface in the reactor is around 12 m2.
BP of the solvent in the reactor at relief pressure (5barg) is 120ºC
The cooling water can absorb actually all the energy from fire.
How to determine the relief load of the PSV?
Should it be considered as steam control failure case? Then the heat transfer capacity is limited by the reactor wall.
