Function and Description

Highly Developed Pressure or Vacuum Relief Valve

The 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. PROTEGO® In-Line Valve DZ/E-F is a state-of-the-art Pressure or Vacuum Vacuum Vacuum is the pressure in an enclosed space that is lower than the ambient pressure. Relief Valve in a right angle design for higher system pressures. Typically, the valve is installed in the in-breathing or out-breathing lines of tanks, vessels, and opening pressure which results in best possible 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. to protect against unallowable overpressure Overpressure Overpressure refers to an increase in pressure in a system or vessel above the normal operating pressure. or underpressure. The valve prevents emission 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 prevents unacceptable product Product Includes equipment, protective systems, devices, components and combinations of these. entry. As this 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. is equipped with a spring Spring A spring is a spiral of wire which returns to its original shape after it is pressed or pulled. , higher set pressures are achieved than with the DZ/E.

Full Lift Technology

The device will start to open as soon as the set pressure is reached and only requires 10% overpressure to full lift Lift Lift is the actual travel of the valve pallet from the main valve out of the closed position. . Continuous investments in and a commitment to 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. This “Full Lift Type” technology allows the valve to be set at just 10% below the maximum allowable working pressure or vacuum (MAWP or MAWV) of the tank and still safely vent the required mass flow.

Advanced Manufacturing Technology

The opening characteristic is the same for pressure and vacuum relief. 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 above the conventional standard. This feature is ensured by valve seats made of high quality stainless steel and with individually lapped valve pallets (1) and a sturdy housing Housing A housing is a solid shell, which surrounds a content, either protecting the content from external influences, or protecting the environment from the content. design. After the overpressure is released or the vacuum is balanced, the valve re-seats and provides a tight 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. . The optimized fluid dynamic design of the valve body and valve pallet Valve pallet Valve pallet is the generic term for the assembly that rests on the valve seat. is a result of many years of research, resulting in stable operation of the valve pallet, optimized performance, and reduced product losses.
