21.3 Venting Valve
Controlled venting of vacuum systems
Precise manual/automatic venting with failsafe protection
The main requirement of a modern venting valve is a reliable, precise and fast-acting venting mechanism. A degree of modularity allowing configurations that can address various process and installation conditions is also important.
The 21.3 venting valve is laid-out to address nearly all venting requirements of vacuum systems. Designed for a reliable, extended service-free operation, the series is available with manual as well as automatic actuation.
The electromagnetic actuated automatic version stands out in particular for its special design. The elimination of any feedthrough and fully enclosed operation with the actor as closing device allows outstandingly fast operation without the service requirements of normal valves with shaft feedthrough. It also eliminates leakage risks.
The automatic version also offers a failsafe mechanism that reacts in case of power loss. The mechanism is available in failsafe closing or opening configurations (NC or NO version) to address both process and installation requirements.
The operating pressure range of the 21.3 is between 1ₓ 10-8 mbar and 1.2 bar (abs) with a gas flow of 50 l in 14 sec. (manual), 100 l in 30 sec. (NC version) and 50 l in 270 sec. (NO version).
Tested in thousands of demanding applications under various process conditions, the 21.3 has proven its outstanding reliability.
