Jump Characteristic
The valve cone (1) is kept in a closed position by a corrosion resistant permanent magnet (2). The set pressure is adjusted by the distance of the permanent magnet to its counterpart (3). Upon reaching the set pressure, the valve opens directly to a full

is maintained up to the set pressure with a tightness that is far superior to the conventional standard due to our state of the art manufacturing technology. This feature is ensured by valve seats made of high-quality stainless steel with an individually lapped valve cone. After the excess pressure is discharged, the valve reseats and provides a tight

produces a vertical, free jet that transports the gases far away from the discharge opening. This keeps the deck free of gas.
Safety of the High-Speed Pressure Relief Valve
This keeps the deck free of gas. The shape of the valve cone and valve seat promotes the drainage of rainwater when closed. A function check of the valve is easily performed with a manual lift gear (4) which returns to its initial position after actuation. A lateral flange connection, DN2, is standard for a

, the velocity at which the mixtures exit the valve cone gap (5) (the gap between the valve seat and the valve cone) is much higher than the flame velocity.
Prevention of Flame Flashback
If this mixture ignites,

into the tank is prevented. If the mixture flow continues, the dynamic flame arresting feature prevents flashback ignition even in the case of endurance burning. As the system pressure decreases, the discharge velocity at the valve cone gap decreases also. The design ensures, that even in the closing pressure range, the valve cone closes in a timely manner keeping the discharge velocity far above the flame velocity and thereby preventing flashback.
Tested Against Oscillating Flow
The PROTEGO® DE-S-IIC high velocity

is also approved for oscillating flow. A pipe of length no longer than the maximum tested length may be installed between the cargo space and the valve.The design is therefore a function of the required flow capacity. The design for explosion group IIC (NEC group B) is only available with a lift of 10 mm.
The maximum pipe length between the valve and the tank must be observed:
DN 80/3" and 100/4" = 5 m / 16.404 ft
DN 125/5" and 150/6" =7 m / 22.965 ft
