Explosion Isolation Valve – FAV

Explosion venting and explosion suppression protect process vessels from over pressurization. Explosion isolation keeps explosions from spreading throughout a process. By isolating the explosion, the effect is limited to the equipment where the explosion initially occurred.
The Fike Explosion Isolation System proceeds through 3 basic sequences to provide successful activation: detection, initiation and closure of the valve. The explosion isolation valve is the critical element in the sequence of successful explosion isolation. The rapid closure provides the physical barrier, which prevents flame and pressure propagation beyond the isolating valve location
