Function and Description
Combined Pressure and 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.
VD/SV-PA(L) Type PROTEGO® valve is a highly developed
pressure and vacuum relief valve
Pressure and vacuum relief valve
A pressure and vacuum relief valve is a pressure equalization valve for impermissible pressure and vacuum in a closed system.
with excellent flow performance. Typically, the valve is installed in the in-breathing and out-breathing lines of tanks, vessels, 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.

Overpressure
Overpressure refers to an increase in pressure in a system or vessel above the normal operating 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.

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

is maintained up to set pressure with a tightness that is far superior to the conventional standard.
Advanced Manufacturing Technology
This feature is valve seats made of high quality stainless steel and achieved by valve seats made of high quality stainless steel and with precisely lapped valve pallets (1) or with an air cushion

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.

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 products are used and to enable the use of corrosive substances. After the excess pressure is released or the vacuum is balanced, the valve reseats and provides a tight seal.
The optimized fluid dynamic design of the valve body and

is a result of many years of research, resulting in a stable operation of the valve pallet, optimized performance, and reduced product losses.
