The IEP Technologies EHRD II is a high-rate discharge suppressor used for explosion suppression and isolation systems. Upon detection of an explosion event, the Explosion Protection Control Unit sends an actuation signal to the EHRD II valve mechanism. The valve opens extremely rapidly (less than 10ms), which allows the suppressant to be discharged through the nozzle system into the protected vessel to mitigate potential damage caused by the detected incipient explosion.
The EHRD II is provided with a supervisory switch that continuously monitors the suppressor’s pressure level when connected to an IEP Explosion Protection Control Unit. This suppressor also includes a pressure gauge for visual indication of the suppressor pressure.
