Blast Deflection
Accessory for Explosion or Deflagration Vents
Explosion or deflagration vents exhaust a flame ball during a deflagration. That flame ball can extend to distances in excess of 60 feet (18 meters) which requires a very large safety zone. Safety zones can limit the accessibility to a process area or create limitation in the layout of process equipment. The I-BD is designed to direct the flame ball exhaust from occupied areas and thereby moving the safety zone.
Atex Approved. NFPA 68 Compliant
The Interceptor® – BD® is a certified blast deflector which is designed to angle the direction of the explosion vent as it opens. It installs directly onto the discharge of an explosion vent and consists of a stainless steel deflector plate that limits the angle the explosion vent can open. When the deflagration vent opens the deflector plate restricts its opening causing the flame ball to exhaust in an up and outward direction..
