    Re: Swing compressor dual hp switches setup.

    jjgixer,
    Normally HP trip settings are 10-15% lower than lowest relief valve for that part of system
    Interstage/High stage.

    Other things to consider is relief between compressor discharge to suction, HP should be below this
    Local compressor pressure transducers
    Any other HP protection, like a hardwired pressure switch, most common is Danfoss KP7ABS dual protection switch.

    So in order compressor unloads on high pressure or high motor amps/ local transducer trip/hard wired pressure switch trip, which stops starter/internal relief valve opens/relief to atmosphere, last line of safety protection.

    I think in UK would be similar

    In your case I would try to set at lower setting, as what scenario would you want compressor to be running up to 19.7 bar when design of 32 SCT 1.136 bar.

    You need to check all relief settings on plant to make informative decision.

    Most compressor manufacturers have high relief settings on packages so to meet most design scenario's, does not mean you have to set it that high.
