Function and Description

Highly Developed Vacuum Relief Valve

The V/SV-XL type PROTEGO® valve is a highly developed optimized vacuum relief valve Vacuum relief valve A vacuum relief valve is used to ventilate a part of the system and protects it from impermissible underpressure. with excellent flow performance. 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 relieving vacuum Vacuum Vacuum is the pressure in an enclosed space that is lower than the ambient pressure. in tanks, containers 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. . The valve offers reliable protection against vacuum, and prevents inbreathing of air close to the set pressure. The device will start to open as soon as the set pressure is reached and only requires 10% overpressure Overpressure Overpressure refers to an increase in pressure in a system or vessel above the normal operating pressure. to full lift. Continuous investments into 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

10% Technology

This “full lift type” technology allows the valve to be set just 10% below the maximum allowable working pressure of the tank and still safely vent the required mass flow. Due to our highly developed manufacturing technology the tank pressure Tank pressure Tank pressure is the pressure within a tank. is maintained up to set pressure, with a tightness that is far superior to the conventional standard. This feature is achieved by valve seats made of high quality stainless steel and with precisely 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 the valve pallets from sticking when sticky products are used, and they enable the use of corrosive media. After the vacuum is relieved, the valve reseats and provides a tight seal again.

Flow-Optimized Valve Body for Maximum Efficiency

The optimized fluid dynamic design of the valve body and valve pallet is a result of many years of research work, which allow a stable operation of the valve pallet and optimized performance resulting in reduction of product losses.

Flow Capacity Chart

The flow capacity charts have been determined with a calibrated and TÜV certified flow capacity test rig. Volume flow V in (m³/h) and CFH refer to the standard reference conditions of air ISO 6358 (20°C, 1bar). For conversion to other densities and temperatures refer to Sec. 1: “Technical Fundamentals”.
