Sizing & Selection
Um ein Entlüftungsventil richtig zu dimensionieren, befolgen Sie diese Schritte:
Schritt 1. Bestimmen Sie die Tankspezifikationen
- Messen Sie den Tankdurchmesser und die Höhe.
- Identifizieren Sie den Standort des Tanks und die Umgebungsbedingungen, denen er ausgesetzt sein wird.
- Sammeln Sie das Materialsicherheitsdatenblatt (MSDS) für die im Tank gelagerten Medien, das Folgendes umfasst:
*Medien-Flash-Punkt
*Siedepunkt des Mediums
*Latente Verdampfungswärme
*Relative Molekularmasse des Dampfes.
Schritt 2. Berechnen Sie die maximalen Durchflussraten
Ermitteln Sie die maximale Füllrate des Tanks (in Kubikmetern pro Stunde).
Ermitteln Sie die maximale Entleerungsrate des Tanks (in Kubikmetern pro Stunde).
Schritt 3. Legen Sie die Druck- und Vakuumanforderungen fest
*Ermitteln Sie den eingestellten Innendruck (in mbar), den das Ventil freigeben muss.
*Bestimmen Sie den eingestellten Vakuumdruck (in mbar), den das Ventil bewältigen muss.
*Berücksichtigen Sie die eingestellte Temperatur und geben Sie an, ob die Entlüftung über ein Rohr oder eine atmosphärische Entlüftung erfolgen soll.
Schritt 4. Wählen Sie die Ventilgröße
*Basierend auf den erforderlichen Durchflussraten und eingestellten Drücken verwenden Sie geeignete Berechnungen, um die Ventilgröße zu bestimmen. Nutzen Sie Standards wie API 2000 oder ISO 28300 für genaue Größenrichtlinien. Viele Hersteller bieten Größensoftware oder Diagramme an, die bei der Auswahl der richtigen Ventilgröße helfen.
*Die Ventilgröße kann je nach Anwendungsanforderungen und Durchflussberechnungen zwischen 2″ und 12″ (50 bis 300 mm) liegen.
Schritt 5. Material und zusätzliche Funktionen
*Wählen Sie das Ventilmaterial entsprechend der Medienverträglichkeit und den Umgebungsbedingungen aus. Zu den Optionen gehören Aluminium, Sphäroguss, Edelstahl, Kohlenstoffstahl und verschiedene Legierungen.
*Erwägen Sie zusätzliche Funktionen wie Schutzbeschichtungen, Alarmsensoren oder Sonderkonstruktionen (z. B. Flammensperren, federbelastete oder gewichtsbelastete Mechanismen), je nach Bedarf für bestimmte Anwendungen.
Schritt 6. Nutzen Sie den Herstellersupport
Wenn die Größe nicht klar ist, bieten viele Hersteller einen Ventildimensionierungsservice an, um eine optimale Ventilleistung und kostengünstige technische Spezifikationen bereitzustellen. Wir bieten Dimensionierungs- und Berechnungsdienstleistungen an, die auf spezifische Kundenanforderungen zugeschnitten sind.
Wenn Sie diese Schritte befolgen, können Sie sicherstellen, dass das Entlüftungsventil die richtige Größe für Ihre Anwendung hat und einen wirksamen Schutz gegen Überdruck- und Vakuumbedingungen in Ihren Lagertanks bietet.

A breather valve(pressure/vacuum relief valve) is designed to protect storage tanks, process systems, and equipment from excessive pressure and vacuum conditions. These valves allow for the controlled venting of gases or vapors and help to maintain a safe working environment by preventing tank damage and minimizing product loss due to evaporation.
Breather valves work by using weight-loaded or spring-loaded pallets to control the flow through the valve. When the internal pressure or vacuum reaches a set point, the pallet lifts off the seat to allow flow. This prevents emission losses until very close to the set pressure and prevents air intake until very close to the set vacuum.
- High flow capacity from a compact valve size.
- Wide range of pressure and vacuum settings for maximum tank protection.
- Minimization of gas loss and evaporation, resulting in economic savings.
- Compliance with stringent emission control regulations.
- Modular design allows for customization to specific requirements.
Breather valves can be constructed from various materials, including aluminum, stainless steel, carbon steel, ductile iron, and alloys such as C276. The choice of material depends on the specific application and the type of media being handled.
Common applications include protecting storage tanks in industries such as pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, chemical processing, and petrochemical industries. They are also used in systems where vapors need to be piped away or vented to the atmosphere.
Entlüftungsventile werden gemäß Standards wie API 2000:2014 und EN ISO 28300:2016 entwickelt und getestet. Sie erfüllen außerdem die europäische Richtlinie 2014/34/EU für Geräte zur Verwendung in explosionsgefährdeten Bereichen (ATEX).
Selecting the right breather valve involves considering factors such as tank size, media characteristics (flash point, boiling point, latent heat of vaporization, molecular mass), location, maximum filling and emptying rates, and the required set pressure and vacuum settings. Consulting with a Yee Valve expert and using a valve sizing service can help ensure optimal performance and cost-effectiveness.
Regular inspection and maintenance are necessary to ensure breather valves operate correctly. This includes checking for any blockages, ensuring the pallets and seats are clean and free of debris, and verifying that the set pressures and vacuums are accurate. Maintenance procedures should follow the manufacturer’s recommendations to maintain safety and efficiency.
A flame arrester is a safety device installed in equipment that contains flammable gases or vapors. It prevents the propagation of flames and explosions by quenching the flame front before it can reach the protected side of the device.
Flame arresters function by cooling the flame front through a series of narrow passages or “quenching gaps.” These gaps are designed to be small enough to extinguish the flame while allowing gases to pass through.
- Deflagration Flame Arresters: Protect against explosions where the flame propagates at subsonic velocities.
- Detonation Flame Arresters: Designed for more severe conditions where the flame front travels at supersonic speeds, producing shock waves.
- End-of-Line Flame Arresters: Installed at the end of a pipeline to protect against external sources of ignition.
- In-Line Flame Arresters: Installed within the pipeline to prevent the spread of flames within the piping system.
Flame arresters are commonly used in systems for generating, storing, and transporting flammable gases and liquids, such as chemical processing plants, oil refineries, gas storage facilities, and pipelines.
Regular inspection and maintenance are essential for flame arresters to function correctly. Key maintenance tasks include:
- Initial inspection three months after commissioning.
- Annual inspections as a minimum for clean processes.
- Additional inspections if an explosion is detected or if there are signs of damage or corrosion.
- Cleaning to remove debris, insects, or corrosion that can block the quenching elements.
- Ensure the flame arrester is correctly installed according to the operating conditions.
- Verify that no unauthorized modifications have been made.
- Check for blockages, corrosion, and mechanical damage.
- Confirm that all fasteners are secure and tightened to the required torque.
- Record all maintenance activities accurately.
Poorly maintained flame arresters can fail to provide adequate protection against explosions, potentially leading to catastrophic equipment damage and safety hazards. Common issues include blocked elements, severe corrosion, and mechanical damage, which can impair the flame arrester’s effectiveness.
Flame arresters must be used under the specific conditions they were designed and tested for. They are available in various configurations to suit different piping systems, and the correct model should be selected based on the type of gas, operating pressure, and temperature range.
- Ensure compatibility with the process conditions, including gas type and pressure.
- Follow torque guidelines for flanged connections.
- Position the flame arrester correctly to facilitate future maintenance.
- Check for leaks after installation to ensure a proper seal.
- Do not use lifting eyebolts to lift the entire flame arrester assembly; they are only for handling the housing during inspection and maintenance.
- Avoid piping drainage, instrumentation, and cleanout connections to a common line to prevent flame bypass.
- Replace damaged flame elements immediately as they can render the flame arrester ineffective.
