DZ/T

The PROTEGO® In-Line Valve DZ/T is a state-of-the-art Pressure or Vacuum Relief Valve. Typically, the valve is installed in the in-breathing or out-breathing lines of tanks, vessels, and process equipment to protect against unallowable overpressure or underpressure. The valve prevents emission losses almost up to the set pressure and prevents unacceptable product entry.

This “Full Lift Type” technology allows the valve to be set at just 10% below the maximum allowable working pressure or vacuum (MAWP or MAWV) of the tank and still safely vent the required mass flow. Due to our highly developed manufacturing technology, the tank pressure is maintained up to set pressure with a tightness that is far above the conventional standard. This feature is ensured by 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 products are used and to enable the use of corrosive fluids. After the overpressure is released or the vacuum is balanced, the valve re-seats and provides a tight seal. The optimized fluid dynamic design of the valve body and valve pallet is a result of many years of research, resulting in stable operation of the valve pallet, optimized performance, and reduced product losses.
