'Spark Arrestor' or 'Spark Arrester' is a critical pre-filtration device designed to separate and extinguish sparks, glowing embers, hot metal particles, and coarse particulate matter from industrial exhaust gas streams before they enter downstream air pollution control equipment such as bag filters, dust collectors, gas coolers, and scrubbers.
In industries such as induction furnaces, steel plants, foundries, copper and aluminium recycling units, and other metal melting operations, exhaust gases often contain hot sparks and incandescent particles generated during melting, charging, cutting, grinding, and material handling processes. If not removed, these hot particles can damage filter bags, increase maintenance costs, and create potential fire hazards within the filtration system.
INDOFAN Spark Arresters are specially engineered to intercept and separate sparks from the gas stream, thereby protecting downstream equipment, improving system reliability, and enhancing overall operational safety.
The Spark Arrester operates on the principle of inertial separation and velocity reduction. Hot exhaust gases carrying sparks and heavier particles enter the spark arrester chamber at high velocity. Inside the unit, specially designed baffle plates and directional flow passages alter the gas flow path and reduce gas velocity.
Due to their higher mass and inertia, sparks, glowing embers, and heavy particulate matter cannot follow the sudden changes in airflow direction. These particles lose momentum, collide with the internal baffles, and fall into a collection chamber or hopper.
The cleaned gas stream then exits the spark arrester and proceeds to the gas cooler, bag filter, dust collector, scrubber, or other air pollution control equipment for further treatment.
