EXKOP System | Explosion Isolation

Isolation with quench valves: EXKOP^® SYSTEM

Space-saving, bidirectional isolation

This system isolates plant components in both directions and comprises a self-monitoring EXKOP^® controller with data storage and one or several quench valves.

Applications

EXKOP^® systems are suitable for filling lines, aspiration lines and pipes, pneumatic conveyor lines and air intake openings. As well as operating as a decoupling system for dust-bearing plants, the EXKOP^® system can also be used as a spark arrester or overpressure limiter.

Mechanism

In the case of an explosion, the EXKOP^® controller receives a trigger signal (e.g. from the signalling unit of the Q-Rohr^® or an explosion vent, from a pressure switch or spark detector) and activates the connected EXKOP^® quench valves. These close within a few milliseconds and thus protect adjacent plant components. After being triggered, the quench valves can be put back in operation once again at the touch of a button.

The EXKOP^® system is ideal for combination with explosion vents or flameless explosion venting solutions.

Your advantages

Effective protection through high-speed detection of explosion events.
Returns to operation again immediately after triggering.
Self-monitoring safety electronics with operating data storage.
Modem-compatible remote system analysis permits remote maintenance.
System status or error messages reported immediately via the operating and display panel.
Processes wide range of trigger signals for easy retrofitting to existing plants.
Fail Safe mechanism automatically closes the valve if the power / compressed air fails or the valve is manipulated.

"The EXKOP^® is available in a range of standard sizes, though we keep getting requests for custom solutions. The biggest quench valve we’ve built so far has a nominal width of 1000 mm."
