8.5.7 B10 – EXHAUST SYSTEM OPTIONS
8.5.7.1 B10 – ESA - Exhaust Spark Arrestor
The exhaust spark arrestor allows preventing the emission of
flammable debris from combustion sources.
Diesel Engine exhaust spark arrestors are a basic, but key safety
feature for both hazardous areas and lower risk diesel engine
applications such as agriculture or forestry where a spark from the
exhaust system may cause ignition of combustible material.
Those Spark Arrestors are designed as a safety device, specifically
for preventing the risk of fire caused by the spread of sparks emitted
from diesel engines.
All diesel engines have the potential to emit sparks even the latest clean engines. This is due to the high
carbon particulate content, carbon build up and the high ratio of free oxygen in the exhaust gas when on and
off load. The amount of energy carried by these sparks and the risk of them being transmitted over large areas
in the presence of flammable materials, gases or dust can significantly increase the chances of igniting fires
or causing explosions.
Spark Arrestors are mandatory equipment in many industries where potentially explosive environments are
common:
- Oils & Gas Industries
- Pharmaceutical
- Petrochemical Industries
- Mining
- Timber/Paper Handling & Processing
- Military Munitions/Aviation
- Agriculture/Forestry
This Spark arrestor is ATEX certified.
