Function and Description

Combined Pressure and Vacuum Relief Valve

The Deflagration-Proof and Endurance-Burning-Proof PV/EBR-E Type PROTEGO® valve is a highly developed combined pressure/vacuum relief valve for high flow capacities with an integrated Flame Arrester that is specifically designed for use in ethanol production, processing, and storage. It is primarily used as a device for flame transmission-proof out-breathing on tanks, containers, and process equipment. The valve offers reliable protection against overpressure and vacuum, prevents the in-breathing of air and product losses almost up to the set pressure, and protects against atmospheric deflagration and endurance burning if stabilized burning occurs.

For Explosion Group IIB1

The PROTEGO® Flame Arrester Unit is designed to achieve minimum pressure drop with maximum safety. The PROTEGO® PV/EBR-E valve is available for substances from explosion group IIB1 (MESG ≥ 0.85 mm) and provides specific protection against deflagration and endurance burning of alcohol/air mixtures (such as Ethanol/air). The valve functions proportional, so the set pressures should be selected in relation to the proportional behavior (such as a 10%, 40%, or 100% overpressure from the set pressure to the relieving pressure at which the required flow performance is reached).

Advanced Manufacturing Technology

The tank pressure is maintained up to the set pressure with a tightness that is above the normal standards due to our state-of-the-art manufacturing technology. This feature is ensured by the valve seats made of high quality stainless steel and with individually 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 substances are used and to enable the use corrosive fluids. After the overpressure is released, the valve re-seats and provides a tight seal.

Main Component – PROTEGO® Flame Arrester Unit

If the set pressure is exceeded, explosive gas/product vapor/air mixtures are released into the atmosphere. If this mixture ignites, the integrated PROTEGO® Flame Arrester Unit (3) prevents flame transmission into the tank. If additional mixture continues to flow and stabilized burning occurs, the integrated Flame Arrester Unit prevents flashback as a result of endurance burning. The valve is protected and also fulfils its function under these severe conditions. The spring-loaded weather hood opens as soon as the melting element (4) melts.

Many Individual Certifications

The valve can be used at an operating temperature 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.
