Safety valves for side channel blower Because of the air compression side channel compressor produce a lot of heat, which is normally removed with the outgoing air stream.
Too little air flow through the blower results therefore in an overheated and damaged unit.
To protect the side channel blower against too low air flow, normally pressure- or vacuum relief-valves are used.
Vacuum relief valves are installed on the suction side of the side channel blower and open when a preset vacuum (by preload) is reached. With the additional intake air from the vacuum protection valve, overheating is avoided. If the vacuum is frequently lower than preset (air flow through the vacuum protection valve) a filter has to be installed
Pressure relief valves are installed on the pressure side of the side channel blower and open when a preset pressure (by preload) is reached. Due to the additional air flow, overheating is avoided.

Safety relief valve RV01 for side channel blowers with G 1¼" connection thread
suitable for: Side channel blowers in pressure resp. vacuum operation
Function: The side channel blowers are cooled by the external motor fan as well as by the air to be delivered in the side channel. Therefore a safe and proper operation is only possible if the side channel blower is operated below the maximum permissible pressure difference. The use of a safety valve ensures that an adequate amount of air is always available for the cooling of the unit. The safety valves are adjustable and should be set to 90% of the maximum differential pressure of the corresponding side channel blower model.
technical data:
Description:
Pressure resp. vacuum safety relief valve manually adjustable(not pre-adjusted!)
Application:
for limiting a maximum pressure resp. vacuum
Pressure range:
max. 300 mbar
Options:
- without filter: pressure operation (limited also in vacuum operation)- with filter: vacuum operation

Attention:
Don't forget to order the T-neck!
The adjustable range depends on the used blower model and the operation mode!
