Product novelty at the Powtech trade fair 2016
IEP Technologies presents with HOERBIGER at their joint booth their intelligent detection
IEP Technologies GmbH is going to present its products under the umbrella brand HOERBIGER for the first time at this year’s Powtech, the trade fair for processing, analysis and handling of powder and bulk solids. HOERBIGER recently acquired IEP Technologies, to expand its own portfolio with the high-quality products of the successful explosion protection specialist. Both companies will present their full range of safety products in the field of explosion protection from the 19th – 21st of April in hall 1, booth 1-319. IEP Technologies offers with its new intelligent detection system SmartDS a solution which provides secure explosion detection with high false alarm immunity: SmartDS uses two dynamic pressure sensors in AND configuration and a “smart” calculation of the expected rate of pressure rise based on experimental data and 25 years’ experience. In the event of an explosion, the SmartDS rapidly analyses the pressure data and actuates the active explosion suppression system. Rudi Post, Managing Director of IEP Technologies GmbH explains: “Our IEP Technologies Explosion Suppression System is designed to detect the pressure development during an explosion and within milliseconds discharge an explosion suppressant into the enclosed space before destructive pressures develop. Quick, safe and exact measuring is an essential part of the system.” The SmartDS is used, for example, in dedusting plants - mounted in the dirty and / or clean gas sector of the housing. The two dynamic pressure sensors compare the different measurements continuously. In this way, a distinction can be made between the dynamic pressure rise of an explosion versus process-related pressure fluctuations. As a result, the risk of false alarm is reduced to a minimum. The SmartDS allows post-event forensics – storing the temporal pressure profiles of each detector with an accurate time stamp which facilitates the understanding of process conditions and explosion event characteristics. This allows also for the prevention of potential process disturbances to be detected in the future. The established products and explosion suppression, isolation and pressure relief systems will also find an important platform at this year’s Powtech. Rudi Post adds: “Trade visitors have the possibility to gain a broad overview of the field of explosion protection and safety-related components at our booth. Our highly experienced sales team is available to answer any questions and to present a suitable solution for every requirement.”
