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.
