The evacuation of industrial dust explosions has been practiced for decades and offers an economical protection solution in facilities where dust explosions can occur.
When determining explosion caps, the effect of the ejected ball of flames (both pressure and flame) and associated risks should be taken into account. Therefore, the explosion evacuation should be directed to a safe area.
Flameless explosion flaps are designed to extinguish the exiting flame front and to depressurize a dust explosion. Available in different styles, each with an integrated flame arrester designed for flameless pressure relief. The revolutionary flameless explosion flaps feature a low mass valve plate and low opening pressure. This flameless explosion cap reacts in less than a second to an explosion. The valve plate closes again after the explosion and is sealed, reducing the risk of post-explosion fire
