The Device Is Used for Automatic Venting and Breathing of Floating Roof Tanks
Low Position of the Floating Roof
In the Low Position of the Floating Roof, the Valve Opens Automatically to Prevent Vacuum or Overpressure
Different Heights
Due to Different Heights of the Floating Roof's Low Position for Operational and Assembly Settings, Specific Dimensions Must Be Provided
Conversion
During the Conversion of the Floating Roof's Support Legs From Operational to Maintenance Position, the Plunger Must Be Extended
Adjustment Through an Adjustment Option
Adjustment Is Achieved Through an Adjustment Option Using a Locking Pin Secured With a Cotter Pin
Not Flame Transmission Proof

Depending on Requirements, Two or Four Deflagration- and Endurance-Burning-Proof Atmospheric Flame Arresters Can Be Installed to Ensure Flameproof Venting of the Tank
Function and Description

Automatic Venting Valves for Floating Roof Tanks

PROTEGO® Lift Lift Lift is the actual travel of the valve pallet from the main valve out of the closed position. -Actuated 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. Vent Valves Type AL-DK-D provide automatic venting of floating roof Floating roof A floating roof is the roof of a tank that is fitted with floating chambers (pontoons) and lies on top of the liquid. tanks when the floating roof is lowered onto its supports and the tank is either drained or refilled. When the floating roof is in its lowest position, the valve is forced to open through lift actuation, which prevents inadmissible vacuum Vacuum Vacuum is the pressure in an enclosed space that is lower than the ambient pressure. during final draining or inadmissible pressure during refilling.

Design of Valves

The PROTEGO® AL-DK-D valve consists of a housing Housing A housing is a solid shell, which surrounds a content, either protecting the content from external influences, or protecting the environment from the content. (1) with a sheet metal panel to be welded onto the floating roof or a flange for mounting on a mating flange, two or four flanged connection nozzles (2) for installation of vent caps, cover (3), lift (4) including valve disc (5), lift pipe (6), and the condensate drain valve (7) which can be designed to be flame transmission proof. The condensate drain is sealed by a flat gasket attached to the valve disk (5). The cover (3) is sealed by a sealing cord Sealing cord A sealing cord is a synthetic cord with a circular or square profile. It is used to seal off components. (8).

Dimensions for Different Floating Roof Heights

As the lowest position of the floating roof varies for operation and assembly, specify the dimensions h1 and h2: h1: Distance between the lower edge of the connection of the 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. and the tank bottom at the lowest level of the floating roof in the operating position (operating position with an empty tank). h2: Distance between the lowest level of the floating roof in the maintenance Maintenance Combination of all technical and administrative actions, including supervision actions, intended to maintain or restore a unit in working order. position and the lowest level of the floating roof in the operating position (operating position with an empty tank).

Conversion of Floating Roof Supports and Extension of the Plunger

If the floating roof supports are changed from operating position to maintenance position, the lift has to be extended as well. This is done with an adjustable locking pin that is secured with a split pin. The valve is not flame transmission proof. Based on a hazard analysis with regard to material selection and function, the valves have no potential ignition sources. As a result, they are not subject to the European Explosion Explosion Abrupt oxidation or decomposition reaction producing an increase in temperature, pressure, or in both simultaneously. Protection Directive (ATEX) when used in explosive atmospheres.
