A pressure relief system (400) is provided and a corresponding method (600) for relieving pressure from a duct (402) routing a gas from a compressor (103) to a load utilizing the same. According to one aspect, a pressure relief assembly (104), located near the load, and independent of the primary load compressor pressure relief valve (104), for use with the duct includes a cover (222), first and second chambers (212, 214), and a piston (220). The piston provides a moveable wall between the chambers and is coupled to the cover. As gas from the duct enters the two chambers, the configuration of the chambers provides for a pressure differential that moves the piston and the corresponding cover. This movement transitions the cover from a closed configuration that seals the duct to an open configuration that allows gas within the duct to escape.
