Abstract: Relief devices in distribution systems are designed to discharge gas into the atmosphere. This paper describes a method of estimating potential thermal radiation to objects in the vicinity should ignition of the gas occur, and the effect of relief stack design on this radiation. Designers of regulator stations and vaults with associated relief valves should take into consideration the intensity of the thermal radiation which could result from the accidental ignition of gas discharging from these reliefs. The purpose of this report is to calculate the intensities of thermal radiation associated with some relief-stack systems and lo develop a relief-stack design and location procedure which limits the possible thermal radiation.
