Detonation wave arrestor

摘要

An apparatus and system disclosed herein provides detonation wave arrestor including a detonation wave deflector and a burst element. The detonation wave arrestor disclosed herein attenuates and defects the propagation of a detonation wave characterized by a supersonic flame front propagation. The detonation wave arrestor provides deflection of detonation wave towards the burst element. The rupture of the burst element provides venting of hot gases remaining from the detonation, thus providing separation and attenuation of combusted gas residuals. The detonation wave arrestor disclosed herein may be used in a combustible fuel delivery system.

主权项

1. An assembly for inhibiting propagation of a detonation wave in a combustible fuel delivery system, the assembly comprising:
a detonation wave deflector configured to deflect the detonation wave towards a burst membrane, wherein the burst membrane is configured to break in the presence of the detonation wave and configured to at least partially surround the detonation wave deflector; and a shut-off valve removably attached to the burst membrane, wherein the shut-off valve is configured to stop a flow of a combustible fluid through the assembly upon a rupture in the burst membrane.
