EXKOP System | Explosion Isolation

Isolation with quench valves: EXKOP^® SYSTEM

Space-saving, bidirectional isolation

This system isolates plant equipments 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. In addition to 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 event of an explosion, the EXKOP^® controller receives a trigger signal (e.g. from a Q-Rohr^® or explosion vent signaling unit or from a pressure switch or spark detector) and activates the connected EXKOP^® quench valves. These quench valves 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 in 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 touch panel.
Processes wide range of trigger signals for easy retrofitting to existing plants.
Fail Safe mechanism automatically closes the valve if the power supply fails or the valve is manipulated.
