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.
PROTEGO® Valve VD/KSM 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.
with excellent flow performance made of high-grade synthetic material. Typically, the valve is installed in the in-breathing and out-breathing lines of tanks, vessels, and process apparatus to protect against unallowable

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.
. The valve is a perfect solution for corrosive, polymerizing, or sticky substances.

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 and

Flow Capacity Chart
The flow capacity charts have been determined with a calibrated and TÜV certified flow capacity test rig. Volume flow V in (m³/h) and CFH refer to the standard reference conditions of air ISO 6358 (20°C, 1bar). For conversion to other densities and temperatures refer to Sec. 1: “Technical Fundamentals”.
