SV/E

The Deflagration-Proof SV/E Type PROTEGO® valve is a state-of-the-art vacuum relief valve Soupape de dépression A vacuum relief valve is used to ventilate a part of the system and protects it from impermissible underpressure. with an integrated Flame Arrester Arrête-flammes Device fitted to the opening of an enclosure, or to the connecting pipe work of a system of enclosures, and whose intended function is to allow flow but prevent the transmission of a flame. Unit. It is primarily used as a device Appareil 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 flame transmission-proof Flame transmission-proof Characteristic of a device to avoid flashback. in-breathing on tanks, containers, and process equipment Appareils 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 Dépression Vacuum is the pressure in an enclosed space that is lower than the ambient pressure. and prevents in-breathing of air almost up to the set pressure Pression de réponse Set pressure is the gauge pressure at the device inlet at which the relief device is set to start opening under service conditions. ; while at the same time protecting against atmospheric deflagration Déflagration Explosion propagating at subsonic velocity (EN 1127-1:1997). . The PROTEGO® Flame Arrester Unit is designed to achieve minimum pressure drop with maximum safety. The PROTEGO® SV/E valve is available for substances from explosion Explosion Abrupt oxidation or decomposition reaction producing an increase in temperature, pressure, or in both simultaneously. groups IIA to IIC.

The tank pressure Pression de la cuve Tank pressure is the pressure within a tank. is maintained up to the set vacuum with a tightness that is above the normal standards due to our state-of-the-art manufacturing technology. This feature is ensured by the valve seats made of high quality stainless steel and with individually lapped valve pallets (1), or with an air cushion seal Joint 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 Membrane 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 them from sticking when sticky substances are used and to enable the use corrosive fluids. After the vacuum is balanced, the valve re-seats and provides a tight seal.

EU conformity according to the currently valid ATEX directive. Approvals according to other national/international regulations on request. Additional certificates from classification organizations for use on ships are also available.
