Accident Classified As:
mechanical failure in the check valve servicing the K-7702 Compressor. Make-up Discharge Check Valve mechanically failed and allowed the system to pressure back into the compressor. The resulting surge in pressure to the compressor caused the pressure safety valve on the first and second stage to relieve.
PSV was isolated until it rescated and lined back up to the compressor. During the next turnaround on the CFHT or shutdown, the valve for the K-7702 compressor will be replaced.
