Application:
Diesel engine spark arrestors are designed specifically to reduce the risk of fire caused by the emission of sparks from the engine exhaust. All diesels, including “clean” engines, create sparks due to the high particulate content of the exhaust gas as a result of the combustion process. These particles can carry sufficient energy to ignite surrounding flammable materials. As a result many industrial premises have a mandatory requirement for the fitting of a spark arrestor.
The Wyndham Page range of spark arrestors operate by spinning the exhaust gas at high velocity, causing any sizable particles in the exhaust stream to break up and cool. This highly effective design has been tested and proven to the latest international test standards for arresting live carbon particles.
Fitting of a type tested spark arrestor should always be considered when using a diesel engine in a hazardous environment.
