Highly Developed Vacuum Relief Valve
The PROTEGO® UB/VF diaphragm Membrane A diaphragm is a thin layer of material, which has a large surface area. valve is a worldwide unique 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. combining the function of a dynamic and static Flame Arrester. 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 flame transmission-proof Flame transmission-proof Characteristic of a device to avoid flashback. in-breathing on tanks, containers, and process equipment. The valve offers reliable protection against vacuum Dépression Vacuum is the pressure in an enclosed space that is lower than the ambient pressure. build up, prevents the in-breathing of air and product losses almost up to the set vacuum Set vacuum Internal negative gauge pressure at which a vacuum valve first opens. , and protects against atmospheric deflagration.
High Operational Reliability in Extreme Conditions
The PROTEGO® UB/VF diaphragm valve has proven itself over many years under a wide variety of operating conditions in the mineral oil and chemical industries. Worldwide, it is the only vent which works reliably with problem products such as styrene or acrylates. The set vacuum is adjusted with a freeze resistant water-glycol mixture which ensures safe operation under extreme cold weather conditions. The PROTEGO® UB/VF valve is available for substances from explosion group IIB3.
Composition
If a vacuum builds up in the tank, it is transmitted through pressure balancing tubes into the vacuum chambers (1), (2), which are connected to each other. This will remove the weight of the load liquid, and the atmospheric pressure will lift Course Lift is the actual travel of the valve pallet from the main valve out of the closed position. the diaphragm (3) off the inner and outer valve seat Siège de soupape The valve seat is a component on which the valve pallet rests when the valve is closed. rings (4, 5), resulting in ventilation of the tank. The vacuum setting is adjusted via the filling level of the load liquid and can be checked by a floating level indicator (6).
Advanced Manufacturing Technology
The tank vacuum is maintained up to the set vacuum with a tightness that is above the normal standards due to our highly developed manufacturing technology. This is achieved by the liquid loaded diaphragm pressing tightly around the special designed valve seat surface area even when the operating vacuum increases, which reduces surface pressure and unnecessary leakage. After the vacuum is balanced, the valve re-seats 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. .
Main Component – PROTEGO® Flame Arrester Unit
At very low vacuum settings, the explosion pressures resulting from an atmospheric deflagration may be strong enough to lift the diaphragm off the valve seat rings. The ignition into the tank can be prevented by installing the PROTEGO® Flame Arrester Unit (7). This PROTEGO® Flame Arrester Unit provides additional protection against atmospheric deflagration when the valve is open for maintenance and inspection. The valve can be used at an operating temperature Operating temperature Temperature reached when the equipment is operating under design conditions. of up to +60°C/ 140°F and meets the requirements of European Tank Design Standard EN 14015 (Appendix L) and ISO 28300 (API 2000). EU conformity according to the currently valid ATEX directive. Approvals according to other national/international regulations on request.
