Spark Arrestor
Within the complex realm of industrial machinery, the spark arrestor stands as a crucial guardian against fires. These devices intercept and neutralize sparks, preventing potential disasters in equipment. By introducing turbulence through their strategically positioned vanes, spark arrestors transform dangerous sparks into harmless ash, subsequently collected in a dedicated chamber.
Moreover, spark arrestors double as pre-separators, reducing the load on primary dust collectors. In certain industries, their presence is non-negotiable, safeguarding ducts from spark-induced damage and combustible material ignitions.
In essence, spark arrestors are the silent protectors of industrial safety, ensuring smooth, hazard-free operations.
How It Works?
The spark arrestor functions by transforming incoming laminar flow into turbulent flow. As the flow enters the spark arrestor, it encounters a series of carefully designed vanes that ensure every particle, including sparks, makes contact. There are no gaps in the vane arrangement, so no spark can escape the impact.
The conversion of laminar flow into turbulent flow assists in separating ash or dust from the rest of the flow, based on density differences. As the flow spins, high-density particles like ash are separated from the low-density flow and collected in a hopper. A rotary airlock valve beneath the hopper then enables easy discharge of the collected dust or ash.
The remaining air, now spark-free, continues through the system. Thus, the spark arrestor not only neutralizes sparks but also serves as a pre-separator and pre-dust collector, reducing the dust load in the primary bag house.
