Explosion Protection
Air Solutions will assist you in implementing advanced explosion protection systems. We bring you the most trusted names for dependable air movement equipment, and our application experience includes installations in a variety of industries. Our line includes explosion protection systems for venting, suppression, isolation, and testing.
A wide range of industrial processes have the potential for a dust explosion. In processes that involve filtration, heating, milling, or spraying of combustible material, explosion may occur. Explosive material in a confined and unprotected process volume, a deflagration can trigger leading to an immediate overpressure and flame ball.

- Products
- Type of Explosion Risk – Identify whether the risk involves dust, gas, or hybrid explosions, as this affects the protection method required (e.g., venting, suppression, isolation).
- Process Characteristics – Consider process pressure, temperature, and material flow rates, which influence the design and compatibility of explosion protection devices.
- Kst and Pmax Values – Understand the explosive characteristics of the materials involved to ensure the system is designed to withstand and effectively mitigate an explosion event.
- Containment vs. Isolation Needs – Determine if you need to isolate an explosion between connected equipment or simply vent or suppress it within a single vessel.
- Regulatory Compliance – Ensure the system meets NFPA, ATEX, or other applicable codes and standards for your location and industry
- Space Constraints – Evaluate the available installation space, especially for venting or suppression systems that may require minimum ducting lengths or safe venting zones.
- System Integration – Choose solutions that can be integrated into your control and monitoring systems for real-time feedback and response.
- Maintenance and Serviceability – Consider how often the components need inspection, replacement, or maintenance—and whether your staff or service provider can support it.
- Environmental Conditions – Account for factors like humidity, corrosion, vibration, and outdoor exposure when selecting materials and system enclosures.
- Total System Approach – Look for suppliers that support a complete protection strategy—including venting, suppression, isolation, detection, and control—to ensure cohesive system performance.
