4. Spark Arrestors – How do they work??:
How it works - Through the use of a 'vaned' cone that sits in the inlet reducer, the spark-laden air is forced to the outside of the chamber while the vanes
cause a simultaneous swirling action. The outlet duct is inserted into the unit so that it sits directly behind the cone
In considering this, it is important to realize that a spark traveling in a moving air stream is essentially traveling with the air at a relative speed
of zero. This is, in fact, less speed than it encounters when "sailing" in ambient air, and is the reason that a spark can carry further once in the duct.
The extreme turbulence and the time in which the spark is held in the turbulence accounts for the effectiveness of the unit. While no industrial spark
arrestor or trap, including ours, can guarantee 100% extinguishing, the goal is to provide reduction and limit risk
Some other units on the market have relied on swirling the air. In fact those units are also sold as air mixers for mixing gases or hot/cold air in a system so
as to cool the air. When used as spark traps, they specifically state that you must place them a certain distance before the collector. This is because
they are depending on the swirling action AFTER the unit to complete the extinguishing. HOWEVER, like stated above, the spark is traveling ‘with
the air’ and not necessarily encountering the turbulence (blowing action) that is required to burn the ember/spark out.
Our spark arrestor does all the extinguishing in the chamber because we tumble the air, requiring it to reverse on itself. For this reason you can put
the trap right on the inlet to the collector. Because of the sizing of the chamber, as long as you stay under ~18 m/sec you should not see more that a
.700-800 Pa additional pressure drop. The pressure goes up exponentially after that.
Why use About Air Pollution? As a design group and experienced Bag House supplier, About Air Pollution is able to provide spark Arrestors, as part of
our proven, standard equipment design, of the highest quality at a competitive price to our clients.. By combining our understanding of dust collection
and air dynamics with our in-house design abilities, About Air Pollution retains build and performance quality while simultaneously passing along the
price savings to our customers. The result is a spark Arrestor that works and is highly cost effective.

5. SPARK ARRESTOR IN OPERATION
DESCRIPTION
The “Cell” consists of concentric & overlapping radial curved tabulator
vanes in a round housing, which gives the air a full 90deg turn,
thereby creating maximum agitation / turbulence of the air stream.
This is a static device, with no moving parts!
It is not an air blending/air mixer falsely applied to spark cooling, as
others are sold as. The Spark Eliminator is designed and built
specifically for spark arrestance.
