Description

The safety valves VS224 are designed and manufactured by Epe Ita- liana. They have soft seal and total lift. They have a high flow coefficient (K = 0.95) and are suitable for gas and liquids.
VS224 valves are safety devices as specified in Article 1, Section 2.1.3 of Directive 97/23/EC and are subject to Article 3, Section 1.4 of the same Directive.
These valves are direct acting safety valves, used for protection against overpressure with respect to the operating conditions of the accumula- tors. They can be installed directly on the accumulator, through the ap- propriate use of adapters (see Cap.8.3) or on the safety block on the gas side (BC32G) or on joint on the gas side connection of the accumulator stations.
The valve opening is determined by the force exerted by the fluid under pressure on the poppet in contrast with the spring acting on the cut-off itself.
