Suppression of dust explosions by means of different explosive charges

Journal of Loss Prevention in the Process Industries, 2000
Abstract The research was aimed at the development and testing of a super fast explosion suppression system using different explosive charges. The experiments were carried out on a prototype device (steel container) of 2 l capacity, closed by means of a membrane.

An update on the European explosion suppression and explosion venting standards

Process Safety Progress, 2002
AbstractThis paper sets out the requirements for both explosion suppression and explosion venting according to the draft European Standards that are being prepared under the mandate given to CEN/TC305/WG3, the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports the essential requirements of EU Directive(s).

Explosion suppression in industry

Physics in Technology, 1979
With the right sensors and well designed equipment, potentially catastrophic explosions can be reduced to merely inconvenient plant shut-downs with minor ...

A new approach to explosion suppression

Process Safety Progress, 2000
AbstractOne of the most widely applied protective systems, to reduce the effects of an explosion, is explosion pressure release (venting). There is a disadvantage to venting in that, with an explosion, there is considerable (fire) damage which can result in major repair costs and production losses.

Suppressing explosive synchronization by contrarians

EPL (Europhysics Letters), 2016
Explosive synchronization (ES) has recently received increasing attention and studies have mainly focused on the conditions of its onset so far. However, its inverse problem, i.e. the suppression of ES, has not been systematically studied so far. As ES is usually considered to be harmful in certain circumstances such as the cascading failure of power ...

Suppression of hydrogen-air explosions by hydrofluorocarbons

Process Safety and Environmental Protection, 2021
Abstract This study examines the suppression effectiveness of fluorinated species CHF3 and C2HF5 on the premixed hydrogen-air explosions experimentally and numerically. The results demonstrate that as for stoichiometric and rich hydrogen-air mixtures, both CHF3 and C2HF5 can effectively reduce thermal expansion ratio and increase flame thickness, and
