The DV/ZU is a high-performance, in-line pressure and vacuum relief valve designed for tanks and process equipment to prevent overpressure and vacuum, featuring separate flange connections and a 'full lift' technology (achieving full capacity at 10% overpressure) to minimize emissions. It is typically used in hazardous areas to safely vent vapours via a pipe.
A Pressure and Vacuum Relief Valve — often abbreviated PVRV and in German markets called Druck- und Vakuumventil (DV/ZU) — is a safety device installed on tanks, vessels, and storage systems to:
✅ Limit internal pressure so the tank isn’t over-pressurized
✅ Limit internal vacuum to prevent tank collapse
✅ Maintain a controlled breathing of the closed system
✅ Protect against loss of product and environmental emissions
