Rembe
An add-on module that cushions forces from bursting disc
Targo-Vent (photo) is an opening angle limiter developed especially for bursting discs that guides the pressure relief specifically into areas, in which there is no danger for the adjoining infrastructure. Targo-Vent dynamically and progressively cushions the bursting disc situated beneath it, and can therefore also assimilate large kinetic forces resiliently. The damper absorbs the enormous repulsive forces of the explosion energy and guides the flames and shock wave in the desired direction. Depending on what is required, the flames and shockwave are diverted at a defined angle of approximately 30 to 45 deg upwards or to the side. Facility operators can therefore minimize the safety areas around the vent opening. The top module is made in all the typical bursting disc sizes, so that retrofitting in existing units can be undertaken without a problem. The system is made from maintenance-free stainless-steel materials and, in combination with the company’s bursting discs and pressure relief panels, is type-tested in accordance with the ATEX Directive 94/9/EC (ATEX 114) and authorized in accordance with FSA 13 (ATEX 1637).
