Guidelines for choosing an explosion protection system for your dust collector — Part II
This article explains how to choose an explosion protection system with the most suitable and cost-effective method (or combination of methods) for your application.
The following guidelines show how a dust collector can be equipped with an explosion protection system using venting, isolation, or suppression (or a combination) to handle particular combustible dust hazards and process requirements. These guidelines describe six dust collectors, each handling successively greater combustible dust hazards and process limitations, and explain why a particular explosion protection system was chosen for each.
