Function and Description
Highly Developed Low-Pressure Reducing 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.
Blanketing Valve Type ZM-R is a highly developed low
pressure reducing valve
Pressure reducing valve
A pressure reducing valve reduces a higher, fluctuating inlet pressure to a lower, constant outlet pressure.
. This valve is typically used to inert or blanket tanks, vessels, or other process systems with Nitrogen or other blanketing gases by controlling the
tank pressure
Tank pressure
Tank pressure is the pressure within a tank.
to ist desired value. High Nitrogen or blanketing gas supply pressures up to 16 bar / 232 psi are safely reduced down to only a few mbar / inch W.C..
Membrane-Controlled and Spring-Loaded Proportional Regulator
The ZM-R low pressure reducing valve is a direct acting, one stage pressure control
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.
. It is designed as a

-loaded proportional acting valve. The valve controls the tank pressure by increasing flow as the tank pressure drops. This means that the mass flow through the valve depends on the pressure differential of the

Set pressure is the gauge pressure at the device inlet at which the relief device is set to start opening under service conditions.
to the actual tank pressure. When the actual tank pressure reaches the set pressure, the control unit closes, and there is no flow.
For Precise Pressure Control
At the control diaphragm, (which can be made from PTFE or Viton), the tank pressure (P2) is balanced with the adjustment spring and the supply pressure (P1). In a depressurized tank, the adjustment spring holds the

in the fully open position. As the tank pressure increases, the valve pallet moves toward the seat, and the mass flow is reduced. When the desired tank pressure is reached, the valve will close.
Precise Pressure Control up to -200 mbar
If the tank pressure decreases, the valve will open. If the system is operated in a
