D/SVL

The D/SVL type PROTEGO® valve is a high performance pressure relief valve Pressure-relief valve Valve designed to open and relieve excess pressure and to reclose and prevent the further flow of fluid after normal conditions have been restored. . 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 pressure Relieving pressure The relieving pressure is the vacuum or overpressure at which the valve reaches the lift required for the mass flow to be discharged. 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 overpressure Overpressure Overpressure refers to an increase in pressure in a system or vessel above the normal operating pressure. and prevents excessive loss of product vapors close to the set pressure.

Due to the highly developed 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 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 pallet from sticking when sticky products are used, and they enable the use of corrosive substances. After the overpressure is released, the valve re-seats and provides a tight seal again. 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.
