What are explosion vents?
Explosion vents are pressure safety relief devices to protect equipment and buildings handling combustible dusts. Explosion vents are also known as rupture panels, explosion vent panels, and flameless explosion vents.
Explosion vents are used to protect equipment from dust explosions that can occur inside silos, hoppers, tanks, dust collectors, filters, bucket elevators, grinders and milling machines. Explosion vents are manufactured according to ATEX, NFPA EN16009 and EN14797:2006 standards.
Explosion vents are essential safety devices for manufacturing plants handling combustible dusts in hazardous zones 20, 21 and 22. Explosion vent panels are generally used for outside applications and flameless explosion vents can be used for indoor and outdoor installations.
Flameless explosion vents trap flames rapidly and efficiently inside a stainless-steel mesh filter which cools and extinguishes the flames down immediately. No flames and no pressure waves exit the vessel. Explosion vents are available with monitoring switches or break wires to detect rupturing or opening.
These monitoring devices are used to shutdown processes immediately after an explosion. Guidance in Australia is covered by the Australian standard AS4745:2004 Code of Practice for handling combustible dusts.
