Greetings,

Can anyone elaborate Why we need PSV in cryogenic service? and how PSV's in cryogenic service works?

Thanks in advance,
Shivanya

Regardless of service, if you have pressure vessels/piping that can experience pressures higher than the design pressure, you need relief valves.

The sources of pressure could be process upsets, abnormal heat, control valve failure, fire, etc. If no credible scenario exists, then typically a small PSV for thermal relief would be adequate as long as you've documented all the non-credible cases in the calculation.
 
If you have a Code vessel, a Code PSV is probably required.

Good Luck,

It's crucial to relieve pressure rising from trapped liquid warming in a static line.

It's all okay as long as it's okay.
