Add-on module to reduce the size of dangerous areas.
In the event of a deflagration outside a building, explosion vents open releasing the explosion flame and pressure wave into the environment. Adequate safety areas are crucial. These areas must be kept free of buildings and be out of bounds to both vehicles and pedestrians. These empty areas cannot be used commercially but still incur operating costs. TARGO-VENT limits the opening angle of an explosion vent in order to protect people, vehicles or structures.
Application
TARGO-VENT is ideal for rectangular explosion vents, venting into areas used by vehicles or pedestrians, used in outdoor applications, venting into previously clear areas, which have subsequently been built upon.
Smaller safety areas required in front of vent openings - more productive use of valuable operating areas.
Smaller area required for explosion venting than with alternative deflectors.
Low cost protection of infrastructure.
Safes traffic routes for people and vehicles while simultaneously reducing the safety area required.
Retrofitting with TARGO-VENT provides greater safety for existing installations.
Maintenance-free and long service life through the use of stainless corrosion-resistant steel.
Mechanism
TARGO-VENT limits the opening angle of the explosion vent and guides the explosion pressure wave, flames and heat into defined areas. This minimizes the size of the safety areas required.
