Flarenet simulates steady-state flare network hydraulics and performs heat transfer calculations based on heat gain from ambient along the length of piping. The temperature results at various locations in the network corresponds to fluid temperature inside piping. It does not predict formation of ice outside the piping due to freezing of moisture. User has to provide ambient conditions (ambient medium, ambient medium velocity, radiation) and insulation layers, as applicable. If you want to estimate metal wall temperature, then check whether the relief will be continuous for long duration and thus metal wall temperature will be in steady-state with fluid temperature. For relief or blowdown with limited system inventory, user can use dynamic simulation software to predict metal wall temperatures.

When two sub headers of different metallurgy connects to the main header, then ensure at least 1m of length of non-flowing sub header has higher metallurgy (lower design temperature). For example, if LTCS with -50 deg C LDT and LTSS of -70 deg C LDT connects to main header, then for 1m section of LTCS sub header connecting to main header should be LTSS. This ensure that when relief/blowdown with lower MMT from LTSS sub header flows into main header then temperature creep into non-flowing LTCS sub header (expected to be less than a meter section) will not result in brittle fracture.
