EXPLOSION VENTS
The following only applies to AAF-supplied explosion vents. Additional and/or different
steps, equipment, etc. may be needed for vents and other equipment not supplied by AAF.
Further, the following is a non-exhaustive list of recommendations, and users must carefully
read, among other things, the manufacturer’s explosion vent guide for further instructions.
10.1
Installation of the explosion vent
If an explosion vent is ordered with the OptiFlo RC, the explosion vent is shipped
separately from the collector. Ensure no damage has been done to the explosion vent during
shipping or handling.
The OptiFlo RC will have a frame constructed as part of the unit where the explosion
vent is mounted. The number of explosion vents and location of the explosion vent will be
detailed on the collector drawing.
10.2
Assembly
Gripping the opposite sides, carefully remove the explosion vent from the crate that
it was shipped. Avoid excessive flexure of the explosion vent while handling.
CAUTION: The edges of the explosion vent can be sharp.
CAUTION: Incorrect installation of the explosion vent can cause the panel to not
open at the rated burst pressure.
Place the explosion vent over the bolt holes of the frame. Make certain the dome is
protruding outwards. Install the outlet frame.
Install bolts and washers (x2) and tighten hand tight.
