Explovent Catalog

Product catalog summary

Introduction
This document discusses the importance of reliable explosion venting systems in facilities with potentially explosive atmospheres. It highlights the limitations of traditional blow-out panel systems and introduces the Explovent system as a superior alternative.

Explovent System Features
Explovent panels are FM tested and approved, engineered to release at very low design pressures. They are lightweight, testable, and resettable, ensuring reliability and compliance with N.F.P.A. 68 and IFC section 911 standards. The panels are factory calibrated, reducing dependency on field installation.

Product Variants

Translucent Polycarbonate Panel ERP-PC: Designed to NFPA 68 standards, these panels reduce the need for artificial lighting and are available in various tints.
Explosion Relief Louver ERL: Suitable for applications with exterior interference, providing both explosion venting and everyday ventilation.
Insulated Aluminum Panel XRV-IC: Ideal for buildings with insufficient exterior wall area, offering enhanced thermal performance.
Insulated Aluminum Panel ERP-IC: FM approved, designed to NFPA 68 standards, and available in various finishes.

Advantages of Explovent
Explovent is the only field-testable system, ensuring functionality before an explosion occurs. It is designed to quickly release pressure and return to a near-closed position post-event, addressing implosion concerns.
