Explosion Venting
Product Types
Explosion relief panels, one of the most cost-effective explosion protection methods, vent the pressure of the explosion and flames from the tank to keep the total pressure below the design pressure.
Fike explosion relief products work as described below:
An ember, spark or another ignition source reaches a combustible dust cloud, resulting in a deflagration.
The pressure from combustion rises, challenging the structural integrity of the vessel.
At a predetermined pressure level, the explosion vent panel bursts, creating an opening in the vessel; explosion indicators signal the process control system to shut down all process equipment to prevent further hazards.
This planned path allows the expanding gases to escape the pressure, flame, burnt and unburned dust, thus reducing the explosion pressure to a value lower than the equipment strength. Flame extinguishing products are also available for this action.
After the explosion, any possible equipment damage must be repaired and the ventilation panel must be replaced so that processes can continue.
