Industrial Engine Explosion Protection.

Industrial engines used in marine propulsion and land based power generation can experience a sudden increase of pressure, commonly referred to as a ‘Back Fire”; as well as an explosion in the crankcase of larger engines, due to the presence of combustible oil mists. IEP Technologies, a division of HOERBIGER Safety Solutions, offers a complete range of pressure relief valves designed for the protection of dual-fuel and gas engines.

Explosion relief valves are reusable, flameless venting device, which are made for the protection of personnel and equipment in case of gas or oil-mist explosions. In the event of an explosion, the valve plate lifts up and relieves the overpressure through the integrated flame arrester, allowing pressure relief while stopping flame transmission. Immediately after the pressure event, the valve plate closes, allowing continual process operation.
