Intended application
Diverter valve for the installation of two or more safety valves in a possible combination with bursting discs
for protecting gas storage tanks. The requirements of the pressure equipment directive for redundant or
different types of safety devices are fulfilled with this diverter valve and in combination with safety valves
with the same setting pressure. Additional connections are available on each side for suitable means of
testing.
In the case of servicing the safety valves or replacement of the bursting discs, the side to be serviced is
isolated from the vessel.
In the end position one outlet is open and the other is closed. It is not possible to shut off both outlets at
