spring cap.
Protecting the vacuum breaker
As the suction orifices are open to atmosphere, they should be
adequately protected against the ingress of dust, dirt or insects. If there is a danger of freezing the vacuum breaker
should by fitted with a heating-jacket.
Setting the valve
The performance curves shown in the flow capacity diagram
relate to fully open valves. To obtain these values under partial
load conditions, the operating pressures on the scales of valve
types 34 and 35 should always be set 0.05 bar below the
pressures given in the diagram. The reason for this is the
spring force which increases as the flow and cone movement
increase.

Description
Vacuum breakers also called vacuum venting valves or vacuum limiters - are valves which allow air to be aspirated once a
set vacuum or pressure difference to atmosphere is reached.
These valves are installed on pipelines, vessels, machines and
equipment and are used, for instance, for venting tanks, limiting
the vacuum in vacuum systems and protecting steam installations.
Under normal operating conditions the valve is kept closed by a
pre-loaded spring and the internal vacuum acting on the valve
cone. If the vacuum drops below the value set by means of the
spring, the valve is opened by the atmospheric pressure and air
enters the system. With increasing air flow the cone stroke and
spring force increase. The pressure difference increases accordingly.

These valves are installed on pipelines, vessels, machines and

spring, the valve is opened by the atmospheric pressure and air
enters the system. With increasing air flow the cone stroke and
spring force increase. The pressure difference increases accordingly.
Due to the large dimensioned seat diameter VV 59 achieves an
outstanding high flow rate. This vacuum breaker is manufactured
from deep-drawn stainless steel featuring excellent corrosion
resistance. The valve cone is fitted with a soft seal.
Top and bottom sections of the valve body are connected by a
clamp ring and two bolts. Servicing/maintenance is easy and does
not call for special tooling.
For control duties vacuum breakers may be used only to a limited degree. For such duties we recommend using the diaphragm-controlled vacuum control valve VV 33.
