Spark Detection & Extinguishing Systems

Product Overview

A spark detection and extinguishing system is a fire and explosion prevention setup designed to detect and suppress ignition sources (ie: sparks or embers) within ductwork, before they reach a dust collector.  The sparks or embers are detected by infrared sensors and extinguished with water spray nozzles within milliseconds of detection. 

A spark detection and extinguishing system can also be linked to an abort damper which is typically installed when returning cleaned air back into a building.  When a spark or ember is detected, a signal is sent to activate the abort damper, which redirects airflow away from the dust collector so sparks are discharged safely.
