Explovent

EXPLOSION VENTING PANELS

Explovent explosion venting panels are designed to protect the structure of buildings during an explosion and are the world’s only field testable and resettable solution.

Explosive atmospheres can be caused by flammable gases, mists, vapours, or combustible dusts. If there is enough of the substance, mixed with air, then all it needs is a source of ignition to cause an explosion.

Explovent Is Unique

WITH A PATENTED RELEASE MECHANISM

Explovent’s patented release mechanism is factory calibrated for release at very low pressures, yet keeps panels closed until an explosion event occurs.

During an explosion the lightweight panels release quickly to relieve the pressure and protect the building structure.

Once the pressure of an explosion has been released, the panels return to a near closed position allowing air to return into the room to address implosion concerns.

Explovent Is Safer

THAN BLOWOUT SIDING

Compared to alternatives such as blowout siding, Explovent is safer, more reliable, and more cost-effective.

Explovent

  • Explovent is the only venting system that can be tested at any time to periodically verify working conditions.
  • Explovent is re-settable after testing and does not need to be replaced after usage.
  • Explovent arrives on-site fully calibrated—ready to install.
  • Explovent can be installed quickly and easily to save on labor costs.
  • Explovent can be tested at any time to ensure that panels are functioning as intended.
  • Explovent provides venting solutions for either wall or rooftop installation; as well as a range of natural day lighting options.
  • Explovent has Factory Mutual (FM) and ATEX approved models.

Blowout Siding

  • Blowout siding can only be used once, and must be replaced after opened.
  • Blowout siding cannot be field tested to verify working conditions outside of an explosion.
  • Blowout siding employs shear bolts and fasteners and thus is highly dependent on proper installation by site laborers.
  • Blowout siding requires timely on site-engineering before installations.
  • Without the availability for testing, blowout siding can be extremely unreliable.
  • Siding can only be provided on walls, with many systems being unable to provide functional, aesthetic solutions.
  • Blowout siding systems cannot be non-destructively tested and are often not labeled. How can you tell that they work?

Roof Vent

Explovent Is Adaptable

CHOOSE BETWEEN WALL PANELS & ROOF VENTS

Explovent Wall Panels are suitable for applications in facilities where potentially explosive atmospheres exist and require explosion venting.

Explovent Roof Vents are designed for buildings where the exterior wall area is insufficient (internal rooms), or where exterior walls are obstructed, thus preventing the use of wall vents.
