VPR120/VMR120 Regulating Valves

VPR120/VMR120 Regulating Valves

For hazardous atmospheres, control valves (designed and manufactured by Jacomex) provide reliable, efficient and long-lasting protection for operators and the environment. They were initially developed to ensure the safety of installations in a nuclear environment and have since been used for other applications where the protection of operators is a priority.

These models are designed to operate exclusively on negative pressure glove boxes. In addition, they reduce internal air turbulence and the flow indicator indicates the level of clogging of the HEPA filters.

Applications

Technical specifications – Information

Technical data:

Material: Polymer – AISI 304L stainless steel
Connected in series on the main extraction circuit of the glove box
Mechanical operation, with membrane, without electrical connection
Ultra-fast response time due to direct reference to cabinet pressure
Connections: fluted end Ø120 mm – stainless steel flange DN120
Dry contacts for triggering alarms (pressure fault)
Nominal flow 40m3/h
Security flow 200m3/h
Higher flow rates up to 500m3/h – contact us
Minimum required pressure of the extraction network: -1200 Pa

Main functions

  • Automatic regulation of the (de)pressure of the glove box.
  • Instant readjustment of the (de)pressure during movement/handling (gloves) and for any other pressure variation caused by an internal process.
  • Automatic compensation for progressive clogging of HEPA filters.
  • Safety flow rate (speed 0.5-1 m/s) in the event of accidental rupture of containment in a large opening (round bags for example).
