8.1.3  Methods for the revision of the vacuum-overpressure safety valve.  

The vacuum-overpressure safety valve that is mounted on a vertical buffer tank can be revised on the spot 
according to the following work instructions. These do not apply to the vacuum safety valves on a horizontal 
buffer tank. For the revision of the vacuum-overpressure safety valve the pallets must be replaced. Proceed 
as follows: 

1.  Disassembly both lids (Figure 4 no. 1) of the safety valve by loosening the wing nuts on the top. 
2.  Depressurise the buffer tank by tilting one of the overpressure pallets (Figure 4 no. 2). This way, the 

nitrogen can escape from the tank. 

Beware of the steam that forms by doing this! The pressure 

of the nitrogen blanket now turns to 0 mbar. This gene

rates a ‘Pressure Minimal’ alarm on the 

nitrogen generator.

 

3.  Remove both pallets (Figure 4 no. 2) when all steam has been blown off. 
4.  Disassembly the cover mounted on the housing of the safety valve. (Figure 4 no. 3). This can clamp 

a bit because of the old gasket. The cover needs to be pried off by hand because of the risk of 
damage that would cause an inability to close off correctly. 

5.  Remove the old silicon gasket (Figure 4. no. 4) and renew the vacuum pallet (Figure 4. no. 5). 
6.  Place a new silicon gasket (Figure 4. no. 4) on the housing of the safety valve and mount the cover 

back on (Figure 4. no. 3). Tighten the nuts evenly. 

7.  Place new overpressure pallets (Figure 4. no. 2) and put the lead of the old pallets on the new 

pallets. 

8.  Place the lids of the safety valve (Figure 4. no. 1) back and attach it with the wing nuts.
