Function and Description
Highly Developed Pressure Relief Valve
The PROTEGO® type ER-V-LP valve is a sophisticated
pressure relief valve
Pressure-relief valve
Valve designed to open and relieve excess pressure and to reclose and prevent the further flow of fluid after normal conditions have been restored.
for applications in which a high flow efficiency is of the essence. It is primarily used as an emergency pressure relief valve on storage tanks, vessels, silos, and process engineering
equipment
Equipment
Machines, appliances, fixed or mobile devices, control parts and accessories, and warning and prevention systems, whether separate or combined, intended for the generation, transfer, storage, measurement, control, and conversion of energy, and for the processing of materials, which have their own potential source of ignition and may cause an explosion.
. It offers reliable protection against excessive
overpressure
Overpressure
Overpressure refers to an increase in pressure in a system or vessel above the normal operating pressure.
and prevents excessive product loss at pressures as high as close to the set pressure. It is designed to release particularly large quantities to prevent the

from rupturing in an emergency case.
Patented Valve Pallet Technology
The valve will start to open as soon as the set pressure is reached and only requires a 10% pressure increase or opening pressure differential until full lift. Continuous investments in and a commitment to research and development have enabled PROTEGO® to develop a new valve pallet technology for which a patent has been granted. This patented valve pallet technology enables the typical

Valve which automatically, without the assistance of any energy other than that of the fluid concerned, discharges a quantity of the fluid so as to prevent a predetermined safe pressure being exceeded, and which is designed to re-close and prevent further flow of fluid after normal pressure conditions of service have been restored.
characteristics to be applied to low pressure ranges while also maintaining a low leakage rate.
Adopting this new patented valve pallet technology permits the valve to be set to just 10% below the maximum allowable working pressure of the tank and still vent the required flow.
Advanced Manufacturing Technology
Due to the sophisticated manufacturing technology, the

is maintained up to the set pressure, with a tightness that is far above the common standards. Once the excess pressure is released, the valve re-seats and seals tight again.
