BS&B Pressure Safety Mangement Introduces the Sparkex System to Prevent Fire and Explosion in Industrial Processes
18 February 2008 10:42
The system detects hot particles, sparks and extinguishes without stopping production
When hot particles are detected, the SparkEx System countermeasures by either, activating an extinguishment system, shutting off the means of transport, stopping the effected production area of the process, or a combination of any of these. The SparkEx System eliminates the early causes of fire, and its sensors are capable of detecting sparks through layers of dust or through conveyed dense material flow. The system's detectors, control unit, alarm module and optional extinguishing nozzles are installed directly at the point-of-use, which means no expensive cable costs to run from detectors to remote mounted control units.
Other benefits include:
- Available remote monitoring using an optional touch screen display
- Connected by a single two-wire data cable to each BS&B SparkEx System.
- Up to 34-systems may be monitored in this flexible and cost-effective way.
- Wide-range of operating temperatures with temperatures up to 200°C
- Quick-Connect Detectors are mounted externally to ducting and conveying systems, requiring access only from the outside for installation and service.
- Frost protection with trace heating
- Backup power in the event local AC supply is lost
- Flexible Modular Designs provides for simple installation at the point-of-use
