KITO® ventilation hoods
Venting lines on tanks, vessels and pipelines that enables an on-going gas exchange (flammable or combustible air-gas mixture) must be protected using explosion-proof devices. Explosion-proof KITO® ventilation hoods are designed as deflagration proof or as devices that protect against endurance burning.
KITO® BEH-4-IIA-…-K
KITO® BEH-5-IIA-…-K
- As end of line device for venting connections in tank systems, explosion and endurance burning proof for certain flammable products of explosion group IIA with a maximum experimental safe gap (MESG) > 0.9 mm and an maximum operating temperature of 60 °C.
- Installation on top of storage tanks, tank access covers or at the end of breather lines.
- This device is not permitted to be installed in enclosed areas, if it is not ventilated and explosive atmosphere could arise.
