Pressure Relief Valve: Special Features and Advantages

Pressure Relief Valve
PROTEGO® ER/V-F
Øa
The device will start to open as soon as the set pressure is
reached and only requires 10% overpressure to full lift. Con-
tinuous investments into research and development have al-
lowed 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
just 10% below the maximum allowable working pressure of the
tank and still safely vent the required mass flow.
Due to the highly developed manufacturing technology, the tank
pressure is maintained up to the set pressure, with a tightness
that is far superior to the conventional standard. This feature
is achieved by valve seats made of high-grade steel with an
b
inserted O-ring seal, a precisely lapped valve pallet, as well as a

reinforced housing design. After the excess pressure is relieved,
the valve reseats and provides a tight seal again.
Special Features and Advantages
• “full lift type” technology valve utilizes only 10% overpressure
to reach full lift
• excellent tightness and hence least possible product losses
and reduced environmental pollution
• the set pressure is close to the opening pressure which
results in best possible pressure management of the system
DN
• high flow capacity
Pressure settings:
• the valve pallet is guided within the housing to protect
>+60 mbar up to +500 mbar against harsh weather conditions
>+24 inch W.C. up to +200 inch W.C.
Higher pressure settings, upon request. • can be used in areas subject to explosion hazards
Lower pressure settings, see types ER-V-LP, ER/V and ER/VH. • reinforced housing design
• spring-loading for high set pressures
