Abstract
The invention relates to a device for the thermal deburring of workpieces, having at least one deburring chamber and one feeding device for introducing a fuel gas mixture into the deburring chamber. A supplementary gas supply is provided for at least the deburring chamber or for the feeding device such that the fuel gas mixture located at least in the deburring chamber or in the feeding device can be mixed at least partially with supplementary gas. Further, a method for the rapid ventilation of a device for the thermal deburring of workpieces is also provided.
Claims3
A method of removing an explosive fuel gas mixture from a chamber for thermal deburring, comprising:
- feeding a fuel gas mixture into the chamber for thermal deburring through a central feed passage;
- thereafter removing at least some of the fuel gas mixture through a passageway extending through a wall of the deburring chamber, wherein the passageway is separate from the central feed passage;
- and
- while the fuel gas is being removed, introducing a supplementary gas into the passageway and into contact with said fuel gas mixture while the latter flows out of the deburring chamber, whereby the fuel gas mixture is removed via a central valve connected to the passageway and wherein, a discharged volumetric flow has a mol ratio of supplementary gas to fuel gas outside the explosion limits.
