  • Patent number: 10830353
    Abstract: Device (1) for closed systems for equalization of pressure surges, having an outlet nozzle (2), on which an impact plate (3) is provided and a hinged cover (4) is mounted pivotably, wherein the hinged cover (4) lies in a rest position (5) on the outlet nozzle (2) and in an open position (6) bears on the impact plate (3), wherein at least one holding-closed device (7) is provided, which presses the hinged cover (4) in the rest position (5) against the outlet nozzle (2) and in the case of a pressure surge releases the hinged cover (4), wherein the device has a control unit (8) that controls the holding-closed device (7).

  • Patent number: 8720483
    Abstract: With a device (1) for equalizing pressure surges in cases of possible dust or gas explosions in closed systems, such as silos, pipelines or the like, comprising a hinged cover (3) which can be pivoted on an outlet connection or a closing edge (2) and has a smooth outer surface (12) and comprising a deflecting plate (8) on the outlet connection or on the closing edge (2) for the cover (3) to strike against in the event of an explosion, it is intended to achieve not only cost-effective production but also in particular a significant weight saving of the hinged cover, quick changing of the cover in the case of damage, or quick fitting of the cover in the first instance, and an improvement in the protective effect of the system.

  • Patent number: 6887292
    Abstract: With a receiving silo and/or filter device for inflammable dry bulk materials comprising a substantially cylindrical wall, a lid, a dry bulk material feeding and discharging system, as well as a pressure relief element opening at a predetermined pressure rise in the container, in particular with an explosion door and filter elements associated with the container, the aim is to further develop a silo or filter device of the specified type in such a way that it is capable with as little constructional expenditure as possible to absorb the occurring mechanical stresses and to safely assure pressure relief at the same time.
