Flameless Venting

Q-Ball® S

Flameless pressure relief for dynamic requirements.

The Q-Ball® S guarantees safe indoor explosion venting. Efficient cooling inside the Q-Ball S prevents escaping flames and pressure effects that otherwise result from an explosion. A specially designed substructure and minimal power-to-weight ratio allow the Q-Ball® S to be attached directly to the oscillating system. The Q-Ball S, with its newly developed spherical quenching factor , ensures maximum venting efficiency so there are no costly extensions or conversions. This provides optimized protection by reducing the required vent area.

Application

The Q-Ball® S, unlike conventional flameless explosion venting devices, was therefore specifically developed and customized for oscillating and vibrating plant components with additional high dynamic requirements and KSt values up to 265 bar*m/s.

Mechanism

The special stainless steel mesh filter inlet developed by REMBE® cools the hot flame gases extremely efficiently (up to 2.732 °F (1.500 °C). This reduces the volume of gas ejected and extinguishes the explosion fireball discharge.

Advantages

The only approved flameless explosion venting for oscillating and vibrating systems with high dynamic requirements.
Maximum venting efficiency due to spherical quenching factor.
Easy maintenance due to integrated inspection opening.
Integrated signaling for reliable monitoring.
Can be used flexibly indoors and outdoors.
Simple retrofitting of existing explosion vent installations possible.
