Highly Developed Vacuum Relief Valve
The VN-VL-L Type PROTEGO® valve is a highly developed vacuum relief valve Soupape de dépression A vacuum relief valve is used to ventilate a part of the system and protects it from impermissible underpressure. with excellent flow performance. It is primarily used as a device Appareil 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. for relieving vacuum Dépression Vacuum is the pressure in an enclosed space that is lower than the ambient pressure. in tanks, containers, and process engineering equipment. The valve offers reliable protection against vacuum and prevents in-breathing of air close to the set pressure Pression de réponse Set pressure is the gauge pressure at the device inlet at which the relief device is set to start opening under service conditions. .
Full Lift Technology
The device will start to open as soon as the set pressure is reached and only requires 10% overpressure Surpression Overpressure refers to an increase in pressure in a system or vessel above the normal operating pressure. to reach full lift Course 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 characteristics 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 of the tank and still safely vent the required mass flow.
Advanced Manufacturing Technology
Due to our highly developed manufacturing technology, the tank pressure Pression de la cuve Tank pressure is the pressure within a tank. is maintained up to set pressure with a tightness that is far superior to the conventional standard. This feature is achieved by valve seat Siège de soupape The valve seat is a component on which the valve pallet rests when the valve is closed. made of high quality stainless steel and with precisely lapped valve pallets (1). After the vacuum is released, the valve reseats and provides a tight seal Joint 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. again.

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”.
