Function and Description

Pressure and Vacuum Relief Valve with Separate Connections for Pressure and Vacuum Breathing

The PROTEGO® in-line valve DV/ZU is a state-of-the-art with separate flange connections for pressure and breathing. Typically, the valve is installed in the in-breathing and out-breathing lines of tanks, vessels, and process to protect against unallowable and underpressure. The valve prevents emission losses almost up to the pressure and prevents air intake almost up to . The valve is designed in a way that if the set pressure is exceeded, the vapors are released into an exhaust pipe (e.g., ). If the set vacuum is exceeded, atmospheric air is pulled into the system. For structural reasons, the vacuum is one size smaller than the pressure valve pallet. Due to the -loaded design, higher set pressures can be achieved.

Full Lift Technology

The will start to open as soon as the set pressure is reached and only requires 10% overpressure to full lift. Continuous investments in and a commitment to research and development have allowed PROTEGO® to develop a low pressure valve which has the same opening characteristic as a high pressure safety relief valve. This “full lift type” technology allows the valve to be set at just 10% below the maximum allowable working pressure or vacuum (MAWP or MAWV) of the tank and still safely vent the required mass flow. The opening characteristic of the pressure and vacuum side is basically the same. However, the in-breathing will start as soon as the differential pressure between the connected in-breathing line and the tank is greater than the set pressure of the vacuum valve pallet.

Advanced Manufacturing Technology

Due to our highly developed manufacturing technology, the is maintained up to set pressure with a tightness that is far above the conventional standard. This feature is ensured by valve seats made of high quality stainless steel and with individually lapped valve pallets (1), (3), or with an air cushion (2), in conjunction with high quality FEP and a sturdy design. After the overpressure is released or the vacuum is balanced, the valve re-seats and provides a tight seal. The optimized fluid dynamic design of the valve body and valve pallet is a result of many years of research, resulting in stable operation of the valve pallet, optimized performance, and reduced product losses.

Modelo y especificación

The pressure valve pallet is spring loaded, the vacuum valve pallet weight loaded. Lower set pressures for the pressure side are achieved through weight loaded type DV/ZU.
Two different designs are available:

In-line pressure and vacuum relief valve, standard designDV/ZU-F –

In-line pressure and vacuum relief valve with heating jacketDV/ZU-F - H

Additional special devices available upon request
Within piping systems the influence of backpressure has to be considered in deciding the set pressure and opening characteristics. For special design solutions (e.g. partial load operation) the valve can be supplied with standard valve pallets (with proportional opening function).
