Product catalog summary
Overview of the IQR System™
The IQR System™ is designed for explosion venting, flame arresting, dust retention, and pressure control. It consists of an explosion vent and a quenching module that intercepts and quenches flames, retaining dust and controlling pressure and temperature during deflagrations.

How the IQR System™ Works
The system operates by opening the explosion vent to relieve pressure, while the quenching module intercepts the fireball, using a stainless steel mesh to quench the flame and retain dust. This process minimizes temperature changes in the surrounding environment.

Applications
The IQR System™ is suitable for indoor installations where venting to the outside is impractical or undesirable. It is recognized by standards such as NFPA 68 and NFPA 654. It is also applicable to outdoor equipment with precautions against environmental factors like snow and ice.

Safety Functions
  • Flame Arresting: Prevents flame escape, ensuring a safe environment.
  • Dust Retention: Prevents toxic dust release.
  • Pressure Retention: Absorbs explosion pressure, protecting personnel and structures.
  • Temperature Control: Minimizes temperature rise in the environment.


Specifications and Selection
To specify the correct IQR unit, information such as process dust characteristics, equipment description, operating pressure and temperature, and protection pressure is required.

Installation and Maintenance
The IQR System™ is installed via a bolted flange connection. Larger units may require additional bracing. An integral Burst Alert® sensor provides an alarm signal upon activation. Annual inspections by factory-trained personnel are recommended to ensure safety and compliance with evolving standards.

Dimensions and Units
The document provides detailed dimensions in both metric and U.S. customary units for various IQR models, facilitating proper selection and installation.

Flame Arresting – No flame escapes providing a safe operating environment for personnel. Eliminates the possibility of a secondary ignition and subsequent explosion external to the protected equipment. Dust Retention – Retains process product removing the possibility of potentially toxic product entering the environment. Pressure Retention – Absorbs explosion pressure peak, protects personnel and surrounding environment from pressure blast. Temperature Control – Absorbs fireball with negligible temperature rise in surrounding environment. HOW THE IQR SYSTEM™ WORKS The IQR system comprises two...
