A method and apparatus for the early detection and relief of a closed, pressurized gas charged system, such as an ammonia refrigeration system, wherein a central control system measures and assimilates system and ambient conditions, and responds to alleviate system pressures in excess of design parameters, and, further, combusts system gasses so relieved, breaking such gasses into nontoxic byproducts of combustion.
