VN-A-PCPF

The PROTEGO® Type VN-A-PCPF pilot-controlled diaphragm Membrane A diaphragm is a thin layer of material, which has a large surface area. valve is a newly developed valve for pressure and vacuum Dépression Vacuum is the pressure in an enclosed space that is lower than the ambient pressure. relief. 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 out-breathing in tanks, containers, and process equipment. It provides protection against vacuum and overpressure Surpression Overpressure refers to an increase in pressure in a system or vessel above the normal operating pressure. and prevents the intake of air and unallowable product vapor loss up 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. . 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.

As the pressure increases, the closing force on the main valve increases, i.e., the valve becomes tighter with increasing tank pressure until the set pressure is reached. Once the valve has started to lift Course Lift is the actual travel of the valve pallet from the main valve out of the closed position. , it opens fully within a 10% of the pressure increase or opening pressure difference, and the nominal volume flow is released through a fully open valve. If and when this level is exceeded, the pressure increase will follow the performance curve (Δp/V. curve). From set pressure to full capacity (fully open valve), the pressure increase is 100% in case of vacuum venting/in-breathing function.
