Decoupling

Decoupling

Explosion decoupling is an indispensable protective measure because a localized explosion in a filter or silo must absolutely be prevented from spreading through the conveyor and piping systems. In general, the decoupling systems must be comprised of largely autonomous protective systems and must be tested (by initiating an explosion) and certified by a Notified Body.

Non-return flaps: Fast-closing slider : VENTEX valve: Extinguishing agent barrier: Rotary valve:
Non-return flaps:

Non-return flaps are generally installed in the crude-gas line upstream of the filter inflow. They are open during normal operation, but if an explosion occurs in the filter the non-return flap closes the crude gas line as a result of the explosion pressure, thereby preventing the explosion from spreading towards the extraction point.

Advantage:
  • Inexpensive
  • Disadvantage:
  • Only works in one direction

    Fast-closing slider :

    A detection system detects an incipient explosion and extremely quickly closes a sliding plate over the pipeline

    Advantage:
  • Pipeline is hermetically sealed
  • Disadvantage:
  • Expensive

    VENTEX valve:

    Primarily used in clean-gas plants

    Advantage:
  • Pipeline is hermetically sealed
  • Disadvantages:
  • Only suitable for low dust concentrations
  • Expensive

    Brand- & Explosionsschutz, Explosionsentkopplung
    Extinguishing agent barrier:

    A detection system detects the onset of an explosion, and as a result extinguishing powder is blown into the pipeline, extinguishing the flames.

    Advantage:
  • No mechanical parts required
  • Disadvantages:
  • Flame decoupling only; no pressure decoupling

    Rotary valve:

    Decoupling of filter and material discharge

    Advantage:
  • Complete decoupling of flames and pressure
  • In most cases, this is already part of a filter system
