Reduce Fire and Explosion Risk
Using infrared detectors, the BS&B SparkEx System searches for elevated temperature particles. The greatest sensitivity occurs when detectors are employed in a dark area, which is easily achieved in closed ductwork. Optional ‘daylight detectors’ are available.
Upon detection, the BS&B SparkEx System provides many options to manage the ignition risk:
- Activate water spray curtain placed downstream of the detection point.
- Activate automated shut-down of the process to end the feed of combustible material.
- Provide activation signal for other control devices such as diverter valves.
The BS&B SparkEx System operates in a continuous automatic mode with all of its functional circuits supervised to maintain the highest degree of system reliability for continuous operation.
