FIKE Explosion Venting Solution

Fike Explosion Vent is proven to be one of the most effective forms of passive explosion protection, explosion venting provides overpressure protection from potential deflagration hazards by providing a planned pathway for the expanding gases to escape.

It’s a leader in the development of effective, cost efficient, ATEX certified explosion venting solutions. Economically pricedand offering a long service life, it’s ideal for many applications.

How Combustible Dust Explosion Venting Works

When a spark or other ignition source ignites in a vessel, a fireball develops as the material burns and grows at an exponential pace, often within milliseconds.

The pressure expands rapidly as the fireball grows, reaching the explosion vent. The explosion vent opens at a specified pressure, dictated by the type of vent equipped by the vessel.

The explosion vent limits the stress on the vessel and allows it to maintain structural integrity. The pressure is released and the fireball escapes through the vent into a safe area outside the facility.

Alternatively, when the process cannot be vented safely outside, the explosion vent opens and directs the fireball into a flameless venting device, like FlamQuench.

Flameless Explosion Ventin

During normal venting, an explosion is freely discharged, allowing flames and dust to exit the process vessel being protected. When the process vessel is located indoors, ducts are generally used to safely convey the explosion outside the building. However, ductwork has disadvantages and may result in decreased venting efficiency. Flameless venting, in combination with Fike explosion vents, can extinguish the flame from the vented explosion without the use of expensive ducting, limitations to equipment location, or more costly explosion protection.

Eliminates need for expensive ducts.
Enhanced venting efficiency over venting with ductwork
Virtually maintenance free

Highly suited for indoor applications, flameless venting is designed to protect people and equipment from flames and dust, releasing post-combustion gases only.
