16、tmospheres - Explosion prevention and protection”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by January 2012, and conflicting national standards shall b

17、e withdrawn at the latest by January 2012. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document has been prepared under a man

18、date given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s). For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations

19、, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Ne

EN 16009:2011 (E) DIN EN 16009:2011-10 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the requirements for flameless explosion venting devices used to protect enclosures against the major

21、 effects of internal explosions arising from the rapid burning of suspended dust, vapour or gas contained within. It includes the requirements for the design, inspection, testing, marking, documentation, and packaging. This standard is applicable to flameless explosion venting devices which are put

22、on the market as autonomous protective systems. Explosion venting devices are protective systems comprised of a pressure sensitive membrane fixed to, and forming part of, the structure that it protects. They are designed to intervene in the event of an explosion at a predetermined pressure, to immed

23、iately open a vent area sufficient to ensure that the maximum pressure attained by an explosion within the enclosure does not exceed the maximum pressure the structure is designed to withstand. Flameless explosion venting devices typically consist of an explosion venting device in combination with a

24、 flame quenching element to avoid the transmission of flames into the surroundings. They are used to allow explosion venting in situations where otherwise the hazards of flames and pressure resulting from the venting would harm personnel or damage structures. The application and specification of exp

25、losion venting devices is outlined for dust explosion protection in EN 14491 and for gas explosion protection in EN 14994. This European Standard covers the flameless explosion venting of dust, vapour and gas explosions. This European Standard does not cover details for the avoidance of ignition sou

26、rces from detection devices or other parts of the flameless explosion venting devices. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

33、lement as a minimum. Flame quenching elements shall be suitable for the intended use (e.g. temperature range, mechanical strength, fuel type). Explosion venting devices shall be designed according to EN 14797. Material used for the parts of explosion venting devices shall be selected on the basis of

34、 their suitability with regard to the chemical and physical conditions to which they will be subjected in service. Dust leaking from the process into the flame quenching element can impair the efficiency of the venting, which shall be avoided. The performance capability of a flameless explosion vent

35、ing device can be influenced by e.g.: a) the fuel characteristics (gas, vapour, dust): 1) minimum ignition temperature (MIT), minimum ignition energy (MIE) (dusts); 2) maximum experimental safe gap (MESG) (gases, vapours); 3) the maximum KGor KSt-values specified by the manufacturer; 4) the heat of

36、combustion liberated during the explosion event; 5) flame temperature; 6) particle size and distribution, shape (dusts); EN 16009:2011 (E) DIN EN 16009:2011-10 6 7) melting characteristics (dusts); NOTE 1 During the venting process, burnt, unburnt dust or explosion products can partially block the f

37、lame quenching element, which can lead to reduced venting efficiency. Specific testing to determine this effect can be necessary. b) the maximum reduced explosion overpressure pred, maxspecified by the manufacturer; c) the venting efficiency Efof the combination flame quenching element and venting d

38、evice; d) volume and L/D ratio. Flameless explosion venting devices shall be designed to maintain their specified performance taking into account environmental, process and product conditions. All parts of the flame quenching element shall resist the expected mechanical, thermal and chemical loads o

39、f the intended use. During or after the venting process, deformations of the flameless explosion venting device may occur. This shall not lead to gaps in the housing that could lead to flame transmission into the surrounding. The flame quenching capability of the device shall be demonstrated by test

40、s according to 6.3.5. It is mandatory to use detection devices sensing venting device function. The user shall use the signal to bring the plant process to a safe status when the flameless venting device operates. Gaskets or seals forming part of an explosion venting device shall be compatible with

41、the chemical, thermal, mechanical and environmental demands of the application. NOTE 2 Due consideration should be given to the external effects with particular attention to the risk of a secondary explosion external to the flameless venting device. For more information, see 6.4. NOTE 3 Due consider

42、ation should be given to equipment related sources of ignition in the design and material specification of flameless explosion venting devices; e.g. static electricity, heating and detection devices. Requirements for equipment-related sources of ignition in electrical and non-electrical equipment sh

43、ould apply as specified in EN 1127-1. 4.2 Flameless explosion venting system design Flameless explosion venting system shall be sized according to EN 14491 or EN 14994 taking into account the efficiency as determined in Clause 6. Unique to the use of flameless venting devices is that the effective v

44、ent area will be adversely impacted by flow resistance and possible blockage. The use of flameless explosion venting devices for applications other than described in EN 14491 or EN 14994 shall be carefully evaluated and where appropriate their suitability shall be confirmed by tests. The maximum vol

45、ume to be protected by a single flameless explosion venting device shall be limited to the volume of the test vessel the device was tested on during type testing, see also Clause 6. If a single flameless explosion venting device is not sufficient to protect a volume due to this limitation, multiple

46、flameless explosion venting devices of the same type and the same dimension shall be used. If the volume to be protected is n times Vmax, FV, at least n devices shall be used, for a calculated example see Annex B. The protected volume shall be maximum 4 times Vmax, FV. NOTE For more information on t

47、he maximum volume to be protected, see 6.3.2. 5 Types of flameless explosion venting devices Flameless explosion venting devices consist of an explosion venting device in combination with a flame quenching element and, where fitted, an integrated particle retention element (for dusts). The explosion

48、 venting device can be of various types, outlined in EN 14797. Examples of flame quenching elements are EN 16009:2011 (E) DIN EN 16009:2011-10 7 ribbon type, parallel plate, mesh or gauze, ceramic. NOTE Examples of different types are included in Annex A. 6 Testing of flameless explosion venting dev

49、ices 6.1 General The manufacturer shall specify the intended use and the devices to be tested: process conditions; range of nominal sizes of the device; pstatof the explosion venting device; maximum intended volume to be protected; maximum intended volume to be protected by one single device; pred, max; dust and/or gas characteristics; any limitations with respect to orientation; type and construction of the device (e.g. material specification, physical dimensions)
