Spark extinguishing system
Risks:
Sparks and glowing particles occur during some technological processes due to friction, static charges, or the introduction of foreign particles. These sparks are further carried by air through pipes and stop in a filtration unit, a tank or a silo, where carried material can start smoldering and can lead to fire or destructive explosion.
Solution:
To minimize the risk of fire and associated explosions and to protect equipment and personnel, RSBP offers a tested spark extinguishing system.
- high efficiency and short reaction time of the system
- capability to be installed on short pipes
- variable and modular building system
- simple installation
- nozzle design prevents any clogging
- automatic monitoring of detectors against clogging
The spark extinguishing system is initiated by highly sensitive optical detectors that react within milliseconds to the presence of glowing sparks in transport systems. When these sparks or hot spots are present, a control unit immediately receives a detector impulse, and based on electronic evaluation within thousandths of a second activates a quick acting valve to extinguishing nozzles in a transport system. The extinguishing nozzles create a conical fog of extinguishing medium, and thus extinguish undesirable sparks and hot particles. After extinguishing the sparks the system automatically reverts to a stand-by regime.
