Question: A refrigeration system with a 200 L receiver containing R-134a at 25°C has a rated pressure of 1800 kPa. If the system is to be protected by a pressure relief valve, what is the maximum permissible setting for this valve according to CSA B52?

Answer options:

  • 1800 kPa ✅ 1620 kPa
  • 1980 kPa
  • 2160 kPa

Correct answer: 1620 kPa

Explanation: CSA B52, Section 7.4.2.1, states that the 'set pressure' of a pressure relief device shall not exceed the lesser of the design pressure of the protected component or 90% of the maximum rated pressure of the protected component. Thus, 90% of 1800 kPa is 1620 kPa.
