Ignition-quenching systems, apparatuses, and methods

摘要

IGNITION-QUENCHING SYSTEMS, APPARATUSES, AND METHODS Ignition-quenching systems (100) include an ignition-risk structure (140) that extends from a support structure (150) into a combustible environment (160) and include a porous ignition quenching cover (110) that substantially covers the ignition-risk structure. The ignition quenching cover is configured to quench an ignition event triggered by an ignition source associated with the ignition-risk structure. Ignition-quenching covers generally include a porous body (120). The porous body may include one or more porous elements (130). Methods (400) according to the present disclosure include installing (410) a porous ignition-quenching cover over an ignition-risk structure to prevent bulk combustion, e.g., of a fuel vapor in a fuel tank, due to an ignition event associated with the ignition-risk structure. 110 122 12412 128 12 !126 166 140 ___________ 112 Fig. 1 130 124 124 122 114 12,/ 122 '1281 126 124 126 Fig. 2
