A smart system for suppressing explosions
IEP Technologies
The new intelligent detection system, SmartDS (photo), provides secure explosion detection with high false-alarm immunity. SmartDS uses two dynamic pressure sensors in AND configuration and a “smart” calculation of the expected rate of pressure rise based on experimental data and 25 years’ experience. In the event of an explosion, the SmartDS rapidly analyzes the pressure data and actuates the active explosion-suppression system. The system is designed to detect the pressure development during an explosion and within milliseconds discharge an explosion suppressant into the enclosed space before destructive pressures develop. Quick, safe and exact measuring is an essential part of the system, says the company. Hall 1, Stand 319 — IEP Technologies GmbH, a Hoerbiger Safety Solutions Co., Ratingen, Germany
