Function and Description

combined pressure and vacuum relief valve

The atmospheric deflagration Deflagration Explosion propagating at subsonic velocity (EN 1127-1:1997). and endurance burning Endurance burning Stabilized burning for an unlimited time. -proof VD/SV-HRL type PROTEGO® valve is a highly developed combined pressure/vacuum relief valve Pressure/vacuum relief valve Pressure/vacuum relief valve is an umbrella term that includes pressure or vacuum relief valve as well as pressure and vacuum relief valve. for high flow capacities with an integrated flame arrester. It is primarily used as a device Device A device is a pipe component that influences the media flow by opening, closing, or partially shutting off the flow channel or by dividing or mixing the media flow. for flame transmission proof in-breathing and out-breathing on tanks, containers, and process 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. . The valve offers reliable protection against overpressure Overpressure Overpressure refers to an increase in pressure in a system or vessel above the normal operating pressure. and vacuum Vacuum Vacuum is the pressure in an enclosed space that is lower than the ambient pressure. , prevents the in-breathing of air and product losses almost up to the set pressure, and protects against atmospheric eflagration and endurance burning if stabilized burning Stabilized burning Steady burning of a flame stabilized at, or close to the flame arrester element. occurs.

10%-Technology

The PROTEGO® flame arrester unit is designed to achieve minimum pressure drop with maximum safety. The PROTEGO® VD/SV-HRL device is available for substances of explosion Explosion Abrupt oxidation or decomposition reaction producing an increase in temperature, pressure, or in both simultaneously. group IIA (NEC group D MESG > 0.9 mm). When the set pressure is reached, the valve starts to open and reaches full lift within 10% overpressure. This unique 10% technology enables a set pressure that is only 10% below the maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) or maximum allowable working vacuum (MAWV) of the tank. After years of development, this typical opening characteristic of a safety relief valve is now also available for the low pressure range.

advanced manufacturing technology

The tank pressure Tank pressure Tank pressure is the pressure within a tank. is maintained up to the set pressure with a tightness that is above The normal standards due to our tate-of-the-art manufacturing technology. This feature is ensured by valve seats made of high quality stainless steel and with individually lapped valve pallets (1), or with an air cushion seal Seal A seal prevents or limits unwanted transfer of product from one container to another. Seal is used as superordinate term for all types of sealing elements. (2), in conjunction with high quality FEP diaphragm Diaphragm A diaphragm is a thin layer of material, which has a large surface area. . The valve pallets are also available with a PTFE seal to prevent them from sticking when sticky substances are used and to enable the use of corrosive fluids. After the overpressure s released, the valve re-seats and provides a tight seal.

Main component - PROTEGO® flame arrester

If the set pressure is exceeded, explosive gas/product vapor/air mixtures are released into the atmosphere. If this mixture ignites, the integrated PROTEGO® flame arrester unit (3) revents flame transmission into the tank. If additional mixture continues to flow and stabilized occurs, the integrated flame arrester prevents flashback Flashback Phenomenon occurring in a flammable mixture of air and gas when the local velocity of the combustible mixture becomes less than the flame velocity, causing the flame to travel back to the point of mixture. as a result of endurance burning. The valve is protected and also fulfils its function under thesesevere conditions. The spring Spring A spring is a spiral of wire which returns to its original shape after it is pressed or pulled. -loaded weather hood Weather hood A weather hood is a cover to protect the internal components of a device from environmental influences. opens as soon as the melting element Melting element The melting element is a component that consists of a housing with a lower and upper part.

Many Individual Certifications

The valve can be used at an operating temperature Operating temperature Temperature reached when the equipment is operating under design conditions. of up to +60°C /140°F and meets he requirements of European tank design standard EN 14015 (Appendix L) and ISO 28300 (API 2000). EU conformity according to the currently valid ATEX directive. Approvals according to other national/international regulations on request.
