Abstract
The invention concerns a process for the manufacture of an explosion protection system for a container for inflammable liquid for gaseous substances, whereby individual sections on the surface of a foil strip that is made of a material with good heat-conducting properties, are permanently bent out of the plane of the untreated foil strip; from the such treated foil strip, at least one three-dimensional filling piece with a large interior surface is manufactured by division and/or deformation and said filling piece is inserted into the container, therefore filling at least the major part of the interior space of the container, as well as an explosion protection system of that kind.
Claims6
An explosion protection system for inflammable substances with a plurality of discrete permeable three-dimensional filling pieces made of a material with good heat conducting properties and each formed from a foil strip with permanent individual areas on the surface, that are deformed out of the plane of the untreated foil strip, and that are arranged in the interior space of the container, characterized by the fact, that the formation and/or the arrangement of the individual deformed areas are irregular.
A process for the manufacture of an explosion protection system for a container of inflammable liquid or gaseous substances, comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing an elongated foil strip of material having good heat conductive properties;
- (b) forming a plurality of openings in the foil strip of material;
- (c) crumpling the foil strip of material into a discrete element;
- and
- (d) inserting a plurality of the discrete elements into the interior space of the container, filling at least a major part of the interior space of the container, wherein the openings are irregularly formed.

- and
- (d) inserting a plurality of the discrete elements into the interior space of the container, filling at least a major part of the interior space of the container, wherein in step "b" the foil strip is cut with a plurality of longitudinal cuts of differing lengths and the foil strip is then laterally stretched to form a honeycomb network of irregular openings in the foil.
