A valve for protecting ventilation openings of closed environments from explosion waves.

摘要

There is described herein a valve for protecting a ventilating opening of a closed environment in general, against explosion-generated waves. Therefore, the subject valve is used in the construction of both military and civil shelters, in military vehicles and vessels, in the field of civil and industrial protection, in order to obtain a ready protection in particular for ventilating suction ports connected to the outside, and for protecting air ejection openings from air conditioned environments, and in general all those openings through which air or gas in general is drawn or ejected. To meet the above objective the inventive valve uses at least a pair of thin plates (10), resiliently deformable under the action of the above waves and adapted to dampen said waves in both cases where they are overpressure waves or vacuum waves, thereby protecting the opening where the valve is mounted.
