PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
Application:
Diesel engine spark arrestors are designed specifically to reduce the risk of fire caused by the emission of sparks from the engine exhaust. All diesels, including “clean” engines, create sparks due to the high particulate content of the exhaust gas as a result of the combustion process. These particles can carry sufficient energy to ignite surrounding flammable materials. As a result many industrial premises have a mandatory requirement for the fitting of a spark arrestor.
Spark arrestors operate by spinning the exhaust gas at high velocity, causing any sizable particles in the exhaust stream to break up and cool. This highly effective design has been tested and proven to the latest international test standards for arresting live carbon particles.
Fitting of a type tested spark arrestor should always be considered when using a diesel engine in a hazardous environment.
Model range:
All Walker Spark Arrestors are of 100% Aluminized steel construction. They are available in different ranges.
WT1L - Auxiliary Spark Arrestors. Are designed to be fitted at the end of the exhaust system in addition to the existing silencer. This range is ideal for short term or temporary installations or where there is limited space. Designed for modern and conventional diesel engines with an output of up to 123KW (165 HP) they can also be used for permanent installations if required.
- Single centrifuge type
- Minimal back pressure
- Good silencing
- Swelled and slotted pipe on inlet
WT2L - Standard Spark Arrestors. Are designed for permanent installation in the exhaust system as a replacement for the existing silencer. Designed for modern and conventional diesel engines with an output of up to 560KW (750 HP).
- Twin centrifuge type
- Minimal back pressure
- Good silencing
- Swelled and slotted pipe on inlet and outlet
NT - Ultra Low Back Pressure Spark Arrestors. Are designed for low emission diesel engines. They are suitable for temporary or permanent installation in the exhaust system and can be used alongside or as a replacement for the existing silencer. This range can cover engines with an output of up to 750KW (1006HP).
- Stage IIIA, Euro V, Tier 4 and better
- Turbine type spin blades and improved gas flow dynamics
- Ultra low back pressure
- Good silencing, no noise regeneration
- Can be used with DPF, DOC and SCR
- Swelled and slotted pipe on inlet (and outlet on larger models)
