E X P L O S I O N P R O T E C T I O N F L A M E L E S S V E N T I N G Flameless Explosion Venting During normal venting, an explosion is freely discharged, allowing flames and dust to exit the process vessel being protected. When the process vessel is located indoors, ducts are generally used to safely convey the explosion outside the building. However, ductwork has disadvantages and may result in decreased venting efficiency. Flameless venting, in combination with Fike explosion vents, can extinguish the flame from the vented explosion without the use of expensive ducting, limitations to equipment...
