Explosion Protection


Explosion Isolation Flap Type CARZ

The CARZ Explosion Isolation flap prevents
the devastating effects of a pressure wave
and flame front, from
a dust explosion downstream,
from traveling back along the
duct which it is fitted. It
is effective up to a maximum
declared reduced explosion
pressure within the protected
enclosure (typically ATEX
Zone 20 internally) and acts
as an isolating valve during
the explosion. In normal
operating mode it is held open
against gravity by the dust
laden air stream flowing in the
direction opposite to that of the
explosion pressure wave.
