Function and Description

Combined Pressure and Vacuum Relief Valve
The PROTEGO® VN-A-PCPM pilot-operated diaphragm valve is a highly developed valve for pressure and vacuum relief. It is primarily used as a safety device for out-breathing in tanks, containers, and process equipment. It provides protection against unallowable overpressure and prevents the intake of air and unallowable product vapor loss up to the set pressure.The valve can also be used as an in-breathing valve where the main valve is directly controlled when it is exposed to a vacuum, i.e., it functions as a weight-loaded diaphragm valve. It is ideally suitable for both atmospheric conditions and for use in low temperatures.
Extreme Tightness
The main valve (2) is controlled by a pilot valve (1). The pilot valve is controlled by the tank pressure. The tank substance does not continuously flow through the pilot. The set pressure is adjusted on the pilot valve by a corrosion-resistant and low-temperature- resistant permanent magnet.
As the operating pressure increases, the closing force at the main valve also increases; i.e., the valve tightness increases until the set pressure is reached to prevent leakage. After the valve responds, it immediately opens completely without any significant increase in pressure (pop-open characteristic), and the nominal volumetric flow is released through a fully open valve. If this is exceeded, the pressure increase follows the volume flow (Δp/V̇ curve). From set pressure to full capacity (fully open valve), the pressure increase is 100% in case of vacuum venting/in-breathing function.

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. This feature is ensured by valve seats made of high quality stainless steel with precisely lapped valve pallets. After the overpressure is released or the vacuum is balanced, the valve re-seats and provides a tight seal.
