Function and Description

Highly Developed Pressure 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 D/KSM is a state-of-the-art pressure relief valve Pressure-relief valve Valve designed to open and relieve excess pressure and to reclose and prevent the further flow of fluid after normal conditions have been restored. with excellent flow performance made out of high grade synthetic material. It is primarily used as a safety fitting for relieving pressure Relieving pressure The relieving pressure is the vacuum or overpressure at which the valve reaches the lift required for the mass flow to be discharged. in tanks, containers, and process engineering 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. . 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. 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 required 10% overpressure Overpressure Overpressure refers to an increase in pressure in a system or vessel above the normal operating pressure. to reach full lift Lift Lift is the actual travel of the valve pallet from the main valve out of the closed position. .

Full Lift Technology

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 (MAWP) of the tank and still safely vent the required mass flow.

Advanced Manufacturing Technology

Due to our highly developed manufacturing technology, the tank pressure Tank pressure Tank pressure is the pressure within a tank. is maintained up to the set pressure with a tightness that is far superior to the conventional standard. This feature is achieved by special valve seats made of high quality synthetic material or PTFE. After the excess pressure is released, 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 a stable operation of the valve pallet, optimized performance, and reduced product Product Includes equipment, protective systems, devices, components and combinations of these. losses.

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”.
