Vigilex VQ Flameless Explosion Protection PanelsVigilex VQ Flameless Explosion Protection VentVigilex VQ Flameless Explosion Venting Panel

The VQ Flameless Explosion Venting Panel systems are a safe venting solution for protection of equipment indoors and outdoors where a flame cannot escape. Hazardous area or equipment near where personnel may be are covered by the VQ Flameless Vents.

The VQ Flameless Vent provides effective low pressure resistance to eliminate the spread of the flame and hot particles. It is essentially a flame arresting case comprising or a porous and heat-absorbing surface. The vented explosion enters the box and the gases are cooled as they pass through the porous surface, dust is filtered out and the flame is quenched. The internal surface area of the Vigilex Flameless vent is designed so that the effective vent area is almost the same as if the vent itself was free.

  • Available is a wide range of square and rectangular sizes.
  • Mild steel body and casing with Stainless Steel Mesh. Optional Stainless Steel body available.
  • Burst Sensor Model SEC Included
  • Available in a Variety of Colours
