  • best technology for API tanks

Función y Descripción

The VD/SV-PA(L) type PROTEGO® valve is a highly developed pressure and vacuum relief valve with excellent flow performance. Typically, the valve is installed in the in-breathing and out-breathing lines of tanks, vessels, and process equipment to protect against unallowable overpressure and underpressure. The valve prevents emission losses almost up to the set pressure and prevents air intake almost up to the set vacuum. The product vapors can be released through a collective line connected to the line flange on the pressure side.

The device will start to open as soon as the set pressure is reached and only requires 10% overpressure to full lift. 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. The opening characteristic is the same for pressure and vacuum relief.

Due to our highly developed manufacturing technology, the tank pressure is maintained up to set pressure with a tightness that is far superior to the conventional standard. This feature is valve seats made of high quality stainless steel and achieved by valve seats made of high quality stainless steel and with precisely lapped valve pallets (1) or with an air cushion seal (2) in conjunction with high quality FEP diaphragm. The valve pallets are also available with a PTFE seal to prevent the valve pallets from sticking when sticky products are used and to enable the use of corrosive substances. After the excess pressure is released or the vacuum is balanced, the valve reseats 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 a stable operation of the valve pallet, optimized performance, and reduced product losses.

Modelo y especificación

The valve pallets are weight-loaded. Higher pressures can be achieved upon request with a special spring-loaded design. Choose the model (L) if the discharge nozzle has a nominal diameter that is greater than the nominal diameter of the tank filler neck.
There are four different designs:

Pressure/vacuum valve in basic design

VD/SV-PA - -

Pressure/vacuum valve with heating jacket

VD/SV-PA - H

Pressure/vacuum relief valve with DN2 > DN1

VD/SV-PAL - -

Pressure/vacuum relief valve with DN2 > DN1 with heating jacket

VD/SV-PAL - H

Additional special devices available upon request.
Any combination of vacuum and pressure levels can be set for the valve. When the difference between the pressure and vacuum exceeds 150 mbar / 60.2 inch W.C., special valve pallets are used.

Settings

+0.8 inch W.C. +24 inch W.C.
Vacuum: -2.0 mbar -60 mbar
-0.8 inch W.C. -24 inch W.C.
