Function and Description
Combined Pressure and Vacuum Relief Valve
The PROTEGO® valve VD/KSM-PA is a state-of-the-art
pressure and vacuum relief valve
Pressure and vacuum relief valve
A pressure and vacuum relief valve is a pressure equalization valve for impermissible pressure and vacuum in a closed system.
with excellent flow performance made of high-grade synthetic material. Typically, the valve is installed in the in-breathing and out-breathing lines of tanks, vessels, and process

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.

Overpressure
Overpressure refers to an increase in pressure in a system or vessel above the normal operating pressure.
and under pressure.
The valve prevents emission losses almost up to the set pressure. The valve is a perfect solution for corrosive, polymerizing, or sticky substances.

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.
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 and

Advanced Manufacturing Technology
Due to our highly developed manufacturing technology, the

is maintained up to the set pressure with a tightness that is far superior to the conventional standard. This feature is achieved by special valve seats made of high quality synthetic material or PTFE. After the excess pressure is released or the vacuum is balances, the valve re-seats and provides a tight

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.
.
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.
