In a matter of milliseconds, an Explosion Suppression System
detects the buildup of pressure in an explosion and discharges
an explosion suppressant into the enclosed space before destructive
pressures are created.
|
|
The suppressant works in two ways:
- Chemically, by interfering with the explosion's reaction,
and
- Thermally, by removing heat from the deflagration's flame
front and thereby lowering its temperature below that needed
to support combustion.
The explosion suppressant also creates a barrier between the combustible
particles to prevent the further transfer of heat.

An Explosion Vent is a relief device that ruptures at a predetermined
pressure to allow the fireball and explosive pressure to vent into
a safe area.
Economical to install, these highly efficient vents fit into the
walls of a process volume. They are available in a variety of sizes,
configurations and materials to ensure fast, reliable operation
in an explosion situation. Typically, vents are installed in conjunction
with an Explosion Isolation System.
Explosion Isolation Systems are designed to detect incipient
explosions and react instantly to keep the deflagration from spreading
to unprotected areas or interconnected equipment.

The
Mechanical Type Isolation method produces the same results
by triggering the release of a high-speed-knife valve that forms
a mechanical barrier in the pipeline.
