ATEX & safety FAQ
Why is an ATEX Explosion Isolation Valve necessary when operating in a hazardous atmosphere?
An ATEX Explosion Isolation Valve is necessary in hazardous atmospheres to enhance safety, contain explosions, ensure compliance with regulations, mitigate risks and maintain operational continuity. It is a crucial component of a comprehensive explosion protection strategy in hazardous environments.
What happens if you do not have an ATEX Explosion Isolation Valve installed?
The installation of an ATEX Explosion Isolation Valve is crucial for the safeguard of your dust extraction system in the event of an explosion. Without one, the explosion can spread through your installation and result in costly downtime while the affected system components are replaced.
How does the ATEX Explosion Isolation Valve protect your system during an explosion?
The ATEX Explosion Isolation Valve is designed to remain open during normal operation as air flows through it. In the event of an explosion, the explosion causes a backdraft in the ducting which triggers the valve to close by its own weight, blocking the ducting. In general the working principle of an explosion isolation valve would make the pressure wave and flame push in the opposite direction of the airflow, forcing the flap against the frame of the device and blocking the rest of the ducting.
Where should the ATEX Explosion Isolation Valve be installed?
When installing an ATEX Explosion Isolation Valve, it's important to follow the guidelines outlined in the user manual. The manual contains detailed instructions tailored to the specific model and intended use of the valve.
