Engine Explosion Protection Systems

(Zone 1 and Zone 2 ATEX Kits)

Airmeex have developed a range of Explosion Proof Solutions and Kits for oil and gas sectors, Mines and tunnel sectors, Industrial sectors (chemical, petroleum and gas industry…)

• Air inlet shut-off Valve
  Flammable gases in the atmosphere can be drawn in through the air intake along with air for combustion. This can result in flashbacks through the inlet and backfires in the exhaust. If the engine consumes flammable gas mixed with air and diesel fuel, engine overspeed can occur, which can lead to the engine running out of control. This can result in catastrophic failure of the engine, creating unprotected ignition sources.

• Air inlet flame arrestor
  When Gas is ingested, there is risk of the engine misfiring, leading to unburnt fuel mixture entering the exhaust system. This can be detonated from the heat of the exhaust and ignite the surrounding (now flammable) atmosphere.

• Water-cooled Turbocharger & Exhaust Manifold
  Many surfaces on a diesel engine can exceed safe limits and become sources of ignition. These surfaces need to be protected to avoid the danger of explosion by ensuring surface temperature is below temperature of machine(T).

• Thermal control & treatment
  Thermal signature of engines and ancillary parts can be further reduced using our proprietary thermal coating

• Exhaust Gas Heat Exchanger
  Cools the engine exhaust below temperature of machine(T).

• Exhaust Flame Traps
  Prevents back fire from the explosion proof exhaust system. Can be eliminated by using our certified SCS system.

• Spark Arrestor
  Ensures that no exhaust-born hot particles escape into the atmosphere.

• Radiator
  A choice of industrial or marine solder dipped radiators providing additional cooling capacity and corrosion resistance is available.
