Mechanism
In the event of an explosion, the EXKOP® controller receives a trigger signal (e.g. from the signaling unit of the Q-Rohr® or an explosion vent, from a pressure switch or spark detector) and activates the connected EXKOP® quench valves. These close within a few milliseconds and thus protect adjacent plant components. After being triggered, the quench valves can be put back in operation once again at the touch of a button.
Advantages
- Effective protection through high-speed detection of explosion events.
- Returns to operation again immediately after triggering.
- Self-monitoring safety electronics with operating data storage.
- Modem-compatible system analysis allows for remote maintenance (optional).
- Instant status forwarding to customer PLC (Alarm, failure, maintenance, etc.).
- Processes wide range of trigger signals for easy retrofitting to existing plants.
- Fail Safe mechanism automatically closes the valve if the power/compressed air fails or the valve is manipulated.
- Reliable, process-optimized protection against explosions in adjacent plant components.
- Avoid downtime after the mechanism is triggered.
