Some keys considerations when evaluating explosion severity of nanopowders
- Protection from explosion events requires the determination of key safety parameters like lower explosion limit. maximum Explosion over-pressure. and maximum rate of pressure rise. These Parameters are routinely obtained through standard tests performed typically either in a 20 L -sphere or a 1 m3-container. But several aspects are worth a closer investigation. Firstly, the test apparatus must be able to disperse a fairly uniform dust cloud. However. previous investigations showed that actually the current dispersion System can be improved. Secondly, the influence of humidity on the explosivity is not considered in current standards. lt is just stated that the relative humidity should be checked and noted down. though some provisions exist in American standards. Thirdly. the ignition delay time is sometimes modified to study the impact of the dust cloud turbulence on flame propagation but is often misunderstood. Maybe these aspects have not been thoroughly considered for micronProtection from explosion events requires the determination of key safety parameters like lower explosion limit. maximum Explosion over-pressure. and maximum rate of pressure rise.

Maybe these aspects have not been thoroughly considered for micron powders. However. in the case of nanopowders. the importance of these influencing factors was shown in order to duly evaluate explosion parameters. Experimental evidences confirm these aspects and alternative solutions will be presented.…
