Emergency degassing valve apparatus
An emergency degassing apparatus is provided, comprising a base body, an emergency degassing valve having an emergency degassing opening and a pressure cap for closing the emergency degassing opening, and a pressure compensation element (DAE) having a first and a second pressure compensation valve.
1. An emergency degassing apparatus, comprising: a base body, an degassing valve having an degassing opening and a pressure cap for closing the emergency degassing opening, and a pressure compensation element (DAE) having a first and a second pressure compensation valve, wherein a spring device is provided, which is configured so as to exerta specified force on the pressure cap so that the pressure cap is retained in a closed position, wherein the spring device is configured such that, upon reaching a specified internal pressure in a space to be degassed, the spring device releases the pressure cap.
2. The emergency degassing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the pressure compensation element is arranged in the pressure cap of the degassing opening of the degassing valve.
3. The emergency degassing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the pressure cap is connected via a hinge or rotary joint to the base body adjacent to the degassing opening in an articulated or collapsible manner.
4. The emergency degassing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the spring device comprises: a rod-shaped spring, at least one receiving element arranged on the base body in the region of the degassing opening and opposite the rotary joint, wherein the at least one receiving element comprises a receiving space for receiving the spring, and a spring-retaining element arranged on the pressure cap, wherein, upon reaching the specified internal pressure in the space to be degassed, the spring device is released from at least one of the at least one receiving element or the spring-retaining element and thereby releases the pressure cap.
5. The emergency degassing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first and the second pressure compensation valve of the pressure compensation element comprise a first and a second valve through-opening and a first and a second membrane device for respectively closing the first and the second valve through-opening, wherein the first and the second pressure compensation valve are arranged in parallel to one another so that the pressure compensation valve forms a double check valve.
6. The emergency degassing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the pressure compensation valve comprises a cover device, wherein the cover device comprises a frame and a lid bounding a pressure compensation space, and wherein the frame is arranged so as to surround a first and a second valve through-opening and the lid covers the pressure compensation space, wherein the lid is arranged so as to be spaced apart from the frame such that a pressure compensation gap is formed between the frame and the lid.
7. The emergency degassing apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the pressure compensation space comprises a gas-permeable protective membrane connected to the frame in the region of the lid so that the first and the second pressure compensation valve are covered by the gas-permeable protective membrane.
8. The emergency degassing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the pressure compensation element is arranged adjacent to the degassing valve in the base body.
9. A housing having an emergency degassing valve apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the emergency degassing valve apparatus is connected to a housing of a space to be degassed.
