PV/EBR

The Deflagration Deflagration Explosion propagating at subsonic velocity (EN 1127-1:1997). -Proof Pressure/vacuum relief valve Pressure/vacuum relief valve is an umbrella term that includes pressure or vacuum relief valve as well as pressure and vacuum relief valve. and Endurance-Burning-Proof PV/EBR Type PROTEGO® valve is a highly developed combined pressure/ 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. for high flow capacities with an integrated Flame Arrester Flame arrester 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. . 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 flame transmission-proof Flame transmission-proof Characteristic of a device to avoid flashback. in-breathing and out-breathing on tanks, containers, and process 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 vacuum Vacuum Vacuum is the pressure in an enclosed space that is lower than the ambient pressure. , prevents the in-breathing of air and product Product Includes equipment, protective systems, devices, components and combinations of these. losses almost up to the set pressure Set pressure Set pressure is the gauge pressure at the device inlet at which the relief device is set to start opening under service conditions. , and protects against atmospheric deflagration and endurance burning Endurance burning Stabilized burning for an unlimited time. if stabilized burning Stabilized burning Steady burning of a flame stabilized at, or close to the flame arrester element. occurs.

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 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 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 substances are used and to enable the use of corrosive fluids. After the overpressure is released, the valve re-seats and provides a tight seal.

The valve can be used at an operating temperature Operating temperature Temperature reached when the equipment is operating under design conditions. of up to +60°C / 140°F and meets the requirements of European Tank Design Standard EN 14015 (Appendix L) and ISO 28300 (API 2000). EU conformity according to the currently valid ATEX directive. Approvals according to other national/international regulations on request.
