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® VH-…-IIC
- As breather/venting safety device incorporating an explosion proof flame arrester element for installation on top of storage tanks, tank access covers or breather pipes.
- The breather allows the unimpeded flow of gases out to atmosphere and air into the tank/pipe thereby preventing vacuum locks whilst ensuring provision of a permanent and reliable protection against any flashback into the tank/pipe.
- This device is not permitted to be installed in enclosed areas.
- Approved for all materials of the explosion group IIC with a maximum experimental safe gap (MESG) < 0.5 mm and an maximum operating temperature of 60 °C.
