The PDS sensor responds to a pressure rise and activates when the preset pressure threshold is reached. It is equipped with a mechanical locking system that prevents automatic reset and an indicator light that shows the status.
PDS and PDP detectors are designed for the early detection of explosions in industrial processes and are an integral part of the Flash explosion suppression system. They are used to trigger suppression and isolation actions in dust explosion protection applications. These detectors are commonly installed in process vessels, silos, filters, cyclones, conveyors, and ducting, where rapid pressure rise detection is essential to prevent explosion escalation and propagation.
The PDS is a static pressure transmitter that detects the pressure difference between the atmospheric pressure and the process pressure by means of a large pre-formed membrane.
