The dusty conditions associated with the storage and handling of grains and powders can cause dangerous explosions. Applications that are maintained at higher temperatures need to retain that heat energy while still ensuring safety. This is an additional complication that can be resolved with the use of the correct explosion venting protection.
Our thermal explosion vent combines a solid thermal insulator of low-density silica within a stainless steel panel construction. The panel is therefore unaffected by condensation or product build-up, and as the insulation is integral to the panel there is no loss of efficiency.
Unlike other designs requiring the purchase of additional components, our thermal explosion ventis therefore a single-product solution. It ensures minimal space is required, which reduces on-going purchasing costs.
Suitable for temperatures up to 600°C, the thermalexplosion vent is available in either a square, round or rectangular design with either flat or domed construction. Depending on the process temperature and conditions, it may be possible to use Vent-Tel, our ATEX-approved burst detection system for explosion panels, with the thermalexplosion vent.
