Application
Fenwal Explosion Relief Vent Panels are designed to minimize damage to process vessels, ducts, and other industrial structures in the event of a deflagration involving combustible materials. They are relief devices each designed to rupture at a predetermined pressure which allows the fireball and the pressure from a deflagration to vent into a safe area. These highly efficient vent panels fit into the walls of a process volume and are available in a variety of sizes, configurations, ratings, and materials to suit specific applications.
Description
Vent panels are available in round (8 to 42 inches) or rectangular (8 x 8 to 44.5 x 69 inches) configurations. Vent
panels feature 316 stainless steel construction as standard. Multi-layered vents are also available in the same rectangular sizes. The multi-layered vent panels are comprised of a Teflon® seal layer sandwiched between outer layers of 316 stainless steel.
Domed vents, available in both round and rectangular configurations, are designed to resist a high level vacuum under pressure cycling conditions. Unlike conventional flat vents, the burst accuracy of a domed vent is unaffected after a million pressure cycles from light positive pressure to vacuum conditions.
