The spark detection and extinguishing system is designed to stop ignition sources from getting into areas at risk of dust explosion, such as silos or dust filters. Extremely fast and sensitive spark detectors detect ignition sources within a millisecond and then start extinguishing with a small amount of water. The extinguishing process usually lasts 5 seconds and stops automatically after which the system automatically switches to normal operation mode.
The spark detection and extinguishing system consists of the following components:
Spark Detection
Spark detectors detecting the source of ignition within milliseconds.
Extinguishing unit for extinguishing sparks and embers with a small amount of water.
Signal router that controls and monitors the extinguishing system.
VR18Z control panel monitoring the entire system.
Alarm device informing about the threat by means of a sound signal and a flashing light.
Controller that stops blowers in case of overheating or spark shower.
Cable for detecting overheating, monitoring bearings and blower circuit.
Compression controller supervising the operation of the water pump and heat conducting cables.
Compression system thanks to which the extinguishing water is free of air bubbles and is injected at the correct pressure.
Application
The industries using this technology include wood, paper, food, textiles, plastics, recycling and energy industries.
