Research on the possibilities of reducing the effects of shock waves in case of explosions in environments with dust and textile suspended particulate matter

This article presents an automatic system designed to reduce shock waves resulting from an internal explosion in a closed space where mixing with air under atmospheric conditions of flammable substances in the form of dust or fibers after ignition, is propagated in the whole unconsumed mixture. The automatic system provides ventilation of the enclosure in order to reduce the effects of the explosion. The system is developed around a microcontroller and is based on a predictive algorithm. The power supply of the automation devices used in the system is made from a stand-alone photovoltaic system with electrical storage located outside the closed space
