Function and Description

Pressure or Backflow Protection in Venting or Exhaust Lines

The PROTEGO® in-line valve DV/ZT-F is a state-of-the-art 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. . 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. to protect against unallowable overpressure Overpressure Overpressure refers to an increase in pressure in a system or vessel above the normal operating pressure. and 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 system. For structural reasons, the vacuum Vacuum Vacuum is the pressure in an enclosed space that is lower than the ambient pressure. valve pallet Valve pallet Valve pallet is the generic term for the assembly that rests on the valve seat. is one size smaller than the pressure valve pallet. Due to the springloaded design, higher set pressures can be achieved.

Full Lift Technology

The 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. 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. 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 to the conventional standard.

Optimal Performance

This feature is ensured by valve seats made of high quality stainless steel and with individually lapped valve pallets (1) (3), 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.

After the overpressure is released of the vacuum is balanced, the valve re-seats and provides a tight seal. 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.

Design Types and Specifications

The pressure valve pallet is spring loaded, the vacuum valve pallet weight loaded. Lower set pressures for the pressure side are achieved through weight loaded type DV/ZT.
Two different designs are available:
In-line pressure and vacuum relief valve, standard designDV/ZT-F –
In-line pressure and vacuum relief valve with heating jacketDV/ZT-F - H

Additional special devices available upon request
Within piping systems the influence of backpressure has to be considered in deciding the set pressure and opening characteristics. For special design solutions (e.g. partial load operation) the valve can be supplied with standard valve pallets (with proportional opening function).
