17、EN 16020:2011 (E) 4 1 Scope An explosion diverter is used to divert explosions propagating through ducts, thus preventing flame jet ignition and pressure piling in connected protected enclosures. It will reduce the risk of flame transmission. This European Standard describes the basic design of a pi

18、pe-in-pipe diverter and specifies the testing requirements and the application of explosion diverters. This European Standard covers: a test method for assessing the efficacy of explosion diverters; design rules for a type of pipe-in-pipe diverter; demands to venting device on diverter; installation

19、 requirements; maintenance requirements; marking. This European Standard considers dust/air explosive atmospheres only. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

27、r 4 Explosion Diverters 4.1 General Explosion diverters are inline passive protective systems, installed in processes involving dust. They respond to and by means of internal explosion pressure in the duct in which they are installed. The most common design of explosion diverters can be described as

28、 pipe in pipe arrangements (see Figure 1) causing a change of flow direction and fitted with an explosion venting device (see Figure 1 a) and Annex A). This type of diverter will typically have an inner inlet pipe and an outer outlet pipe. Other types of explosion diverters are described in Annex B.

29、 In most cases, the installation of explosion diverters is closely related to pre-arranged planning and engineering. Subsequently, the installation will be executed as per agreed-upon general arrangement and detail drawings of the system of which the explosion diverter becomes a part. In the case of

30、 an explosion propagating through a duct, the venting device opens and diverts flame and pressure. This shall be done into a safe area (see Figure 1 b). Explosion diverters shall ensure as a minimum that pressure piling and flame jet ignition are prevented beyond the diverter. They cannot completely

31、 stop the flame and pressure propagation under all conditions.

32、 exception of the determination of the efficiency of the device. In addition, tests according to Clause 5 shall be undertaken to demonstrate their suitability for intended use on explosion diverters. 4.2.2 Mechanical integrity Depending on the intended use, the loads caused by internal explosions wi

33、ll to a great extent depend on equipment connected to the device (vessel size, length of interconnecting pipes) and explosion properties of the dust (intended range of KSt, pmax). Any part of an explosion diverter not designed to rupture shall be constructed such that it can withstand the loads impo

34、sed by any internal explosion that can be expected in accordance with its intended use, without rupturing. The construction can be either explosion-pressure resistant or explosion-pressure shock-resistant (see EN 14460). If parts of or the entire explosion venting device detach during the explosion,

35、 the explosion diverter shall include a restraining arrangement e.g. a cage. The restraining arrangement is an integral part of the explosion diverter. The requirements pertaining to mechanical integrity include the elements of the restraining arrangement. 5 Verification of efficacy and mechanical i

36、ntegrity of the diverter by experimental testing 5.1 General The testing shall reflect the intended use. As a minimum the following information is necessary prior to testing: BS EN 16020:2011EN 16020:2011 (E) 7 a general type description; intended use; installation and operating instructions (maximu

37、m allowable length of the pipes between explosion diverter and interconnected vessels and the presence of bends/pipe restrictions, location and position of the explosion diverter); part list; design and manufacturing drawings and layouts of parts etc.; results of design calculations made, examinatio

38、ns carried out, test reports; ambient and process conditions; dust type (KSt, pmax, metal dust yes/no); explosion resistance of the device; static activation pressure (pstat) of the venting device; maximum explosion pressure in the connected vessels. The smallest and largest size for devices with ge

39、ometrical similarity (with respect to the material specifications, welding specifications and wall thickness) shall be tested. If the diameter ratio of largest to smallest size exceeds 5, an intermediate size shall be tested. 5.2 Test Modules 5.2.1 General Two modules are available for experimental

40、testing, The modules are referenced to as Module A and Module B. The mechanical integrity and explosion resistance of the diverter is tested in either of these two modules. The test pressure required to prove the mechanical integrity and explosion resistance according to the intended use is material

41、 dependant and shall be according to EN 14460:2006, 6.3. Permanent deformation of the diverter body is allowed provided it does not fail in its function and will not give rise to dangerous effects to the surrounding. If permanent deformation is observed, the explosion resistance shall be documented

42、as the explosion pressure shock resistance according to EN 14460. 5.2.2 Module A: Mechanical integrity testing 5.2.2.1 General Module A (mechanical integrity testing only) is used for testing: pipe-in-pipe diverters according to Annex A; any other type of diverter which was previously tested and app

43、roved according to Module B but which did undergo changes which can affect the mechanical integrity and explosion resistance of the diverter. Changes to the geometry for instance will require retesting according to Module B. Furthermore, modification of the venting device or the introduction of a re

44、straining cage needs testing according to Module B. 5.2.2.2 Test set-up The explosion diverter shall be tested with a test rig as shown in Figure 2.

46、istics of the explosive atmosphere shall reflect the intended use of the diverter (see 5.1). The length to diameter ratio of the vessel shall be equal to or smaller than 2,5 and the pipe volume up to the explosion diverter shall be smaller than the volume of the vessel. The explosion pressure genera

47、ted within the diverter shall reflect the maximum allowable explosion pressure according to the intended use of the diverter. If the intended use includes scenarios in which the explosion can propagate in both directions, the testing shall be repeated with the diverter reversed such that the outlet

48、now becomes the inlet. 5.2.2.3 Measuring technique The following parameter shall be measured: Pressure The explosion pressure shall be measured by installing transducers in the explosion enclosure, the diverter and the interconnecting duct (see Figure 2). The pressure transducer shall have a suffici

49、ent short response time. 5.2.2.4 Testing method Sufficient explosive dust shall be injected in the test vessel to generate an explosive dust/air mixture in the duct to support flame propagation into the diverter. The generation of the dust cloud inside the test vessel shall be carried out according to EN 14034-1 and EN 14034-2.
