Fire protection on filter systems
Herding FLAMEBREAK is an object protection for Herding filter systems in accordance with VdS 3445 data sheet (fire protection in filter units).
In case of a fire breaking out in the filter unit, the fire is to be detected with suitable sensors, reported externally and directly on site, and fought by introducing the fire extinguishing substance into the filter unit. The task of the fire protection measure is to minimize the damage in case of a fire hazard.
Fire protection on filter systems
Preventive, primary measures
Reducing the combustibility of the dust by adding inert bulk material or operating under an inert gas atmosphere.
Preventive, secondary measures
Preventing effective ignition sources within the filter system through an ignition-source-free design, from external sources by means of spark pre-separators or similar equipment, and from the dust itself by minimizing the quantity and location of stored dust.
Constructive, explosion protection measures
Fire detection
Automatic: detection cable / manual detection by the operator
Fire alarm
The control system evaluates the signals from the fire detection system, shuts down the filter system fan, activates potential-free contacts for alarm transmission, and controls the audible and visual alarm devices.
Fire fighting
After the shut-off devices in the raw gas and clean gas ducts have been closed, the extinguishing agent selected to match the fire load (dust and filter media) is released into the filter system.
Herding FLAMEBREAK
is an object protection for Herding Filter systems in accordance with the VdS-Bulletin 3445 „Fire Protection in De-Dusting Systems“.
