34、a flame or only a flame from propagating via connecting pipes or ducts into other parts of apparatus or plant areas. Systems providing complete isolation by operation of the isolation device(s) prevent the propagation of the flame as well as pressure effects. Systems providing partial isolation only
35、 isolate the flame propagation. This distinction is important for practical application, because it is not necessary in all cases to achieve a complete isolation of flame and pressure. In some cases it is sufficient to achieve only flame isolation. 4.2 Isolation types 4.2.1 Passive isolation type Pa
36、ssive isolation systems do not require the addition of detection and control and indicating equipment to function. 4.2.2 Active isolation type Active isolation systems require detection and control and indicating equipment to function. Detection systems are systems usually based on optical or pressu
37、re sensors. 5 Requirements of explosion isolation components 5.1 General To prevent an explosion occurring in a protected installation from spreading through a pipeline to another part of the installation, explosion isolation measures shall be implemented. Therefore isolation is normally installed i
38、nto a pipe which connects two enclosures. It can also be located immediately after equipment e.g., a rotary valve underneath the cone of a filter or silo. As explosions are generally propagated by flames and not by the pressure waves, it is especially important to detect, extinguish or block this fl
39、ame front at an early stage, i.e. to isolate the explosion. BS EN 15089:2009EN 15089:2009 (E) 9 5.2 Detection devices 5.2.1 General To initiate an active explosion isolation system one or more detectors are used to detect either an explosion pressure wave or flame of a propagating explosion. Each de
40、tector provides a signal to the CIE unit. It is important to locate the detector in its correct position, to ensure sufficient time for the isolation system to detect and activate the isolation device to stop the explosion. NOTE In many cases it is favourable to use a combination of a pressure detec
41、tor in the enclosure and an optical detector in the pipe, and they should be switched in an OR-type of logic for activating the isolation device. 5.2.2 Optical detection Detection of a flame can be achieved using UV, IR or visible radiation sensors. It is important to mount the detector so that the
42、angle of vision allows it to cover the full area to be monitored. The performance of an optical sensor will also be affected by any obstacles within its vision, which can be overcome by the introduction of more detectors. It shall be assured that the optical lenses of the sensors are kept clean, e.g
43、. by air shields. 5.2.3 Pressure detection Threshold detectors provide a signal when a pre-set overpressure pa(the systems activation pressure) is exceeded. Dynamic detectors have rate-of-pressure rise triggering points and may include additional pressure threshold triggering points. Although this t
44、ype of detector minimises spurious activation of the isolation system (due to pressure fluctuations other than explosion pressure rise), care shall be taken to set-up such detectors to meet appropriate detection response criteria for the particular application and protected geometry. 5.2.4 Other act
45、uation Bursting discs, vent panels or explosion doors can be fitted with switches or break wires, which actuate an isolation system. 5.3 Indicating equipment (IE) and control and indicating equipment (CIE) 5.3.1 General Whether control and indicating equipment (CIE) or so-called indicating equipment
46、 (IE) is to be used on an isolation device/system is dependant on the type of protection device. IE will only indicate the status of the device; CIE will actively control the operation of the protection device and provide status indication of the device and is therefore critical for the correct func
47、tioning of the device/system. 5.3.2 Indicating equipment Indicating equipment (IE) monitors and provides the status indication only of the isolation device/system. 5.3.3 Control and indicating equipment Control and indicating equipment (CIE) records and monitors the signals transmitted by the system
48、 detectors. Dependent on configuration, by interrogation and interpretation of the detector data the CIE selectively controls the actuation of protection device, process equipment shut down (direct or indirect) and all audible and visual alarms. System internal monitoring gives fault indication in t
49、he event of device or field wiring defect, and alarm and fault relay contacts shall be connected as appropriate. Emergency standby power shall be facilitated such that full explosion protection is assured during any power failure. System isolation to facilitate safe working on or in a protected enclosure shall be implemented.
