RLE-S Rectangular Air Cushion Explosion Door

Manufacturer: Thorwesten Vent GmbH

Applications:

• protection of filters, electrostatic precipitators and dryers from explosion damage through the controlled venting of explosion effects to the atmosphere

Specifications / Operation:

• at the moment of an explosion the door is released from its snap fasteners and the lid of the explosion door opens
• the door's recoil force is absorbed in over 80% by an air cushion created between the safety door and steel baffle plates
• the door's residual kinetic energy is used for bouncing the plate back to position, which ensures its automatic re-closing after the explosion is vented and prevents air intake
• light construction (aluminium) which ensures that the load is not transmitted to the equipment body
• the door's spring snap fastener allows adjustment of release pressure (0.1 bar g by default)
• every instance of door opening can be signalled by a limit sensor
• the door may be equipped with an electrical heating system
• horizontal and vertical mounting
