Dust workshop explosion vent pulse dust collector flameless explosion vent

A flame-free explosion venting device is a safety apparatus designed to protect equipment and personnel by automatically shutting down equipment or pipelines in the event of an explosion or fire, thereby preventing the spread of flames or the escalation of an explosion. Its operational principle involves detecting changes in gas pressure and temperature inside pipelines or equipment to assess the risk of explosion or fire. If a hazard is confirmed, the device immediately closes the equipment or pipeline while releasing pressure to safeguard both machinery and personnel.

Dust Workshop Venting Opening Pulse Dust Collector Flame-Free Explosion VentWorking Principle:

The flame-free venting device consists of two parts—an explosion-proof panel and a fire extinguishing module. The explosion-proof panel responds to rapid increases in deflagration pressure, immediately opening to reduce pressure. When the expanding fireball passes through the open explosion-proof panel, it is intercepted by the fire extinguishing module. The precision stainless steel mesh supported by a frame acts as a three-dimensional flame trap, extinguishing the flame to prevent propagation, thereby avoiding secondary or multiple explosions. The fire extinguishing module eliminates deflagration flames, reduces the temperature of hot gases, and captures both burning and unburned dust passing through the open explosion-proof panel.

Simultaneously, pressure waves or noise generated by production equipment are significantly reduced. As flames pass through the mesh flame arrestor element, heat exchange occurs between the element and the flame, rapidly cooling the high-temperature flame, venting pressure and smoke, while also reducing pressure waves or noise generated by production equipment.

Application Fields:

Widely used in industries such as grain, metallurgy, chemicals, power, light industry, tobacco, pharmaceuticals, mechanical processing, and solid waste treatment. Applicable equipment includes cyclone separators, bag dust collectors, dust collectors, cartridge filters, pneumatic conveying systems, rod or ball mills, bucket elevators, dryers and ovens, roller grinding, buildings, etc.

With increasingly stringent environmental inspections, safety has become a major concern. In the past, explosion venting panels were commonly installed on dust collectors to release overpressure caused by dust explosions. However, installing such devices indoors is not permitted by safety regulations because it endangers surrounding personnel and equipment. Pressure waves and flames from explosions may cause secondary or multiple explosions, posing risks. Therefore, relying solely on explosion-proof panels for dust collectors is unreliable. We recommend using flame-free explosion venting + isolation technology (a more economical solution) or suppression + isolation technology to ensure production safety.

There are three main methods for dust explosion protection: venting, isolation, and suppression.

Venting: Releases explosion pressure in advance through a pressure relief device to protect equipment from damage.

Isolation: Blocks explosions using an isolation valve to prevent flame propagation.

Suppression: Detection devices identify sparks and trigger fire suppression systems to instantly extinguish flames, preventing explosions.
