Fire safe flexible conduits
28 February 2014
Flexicon has supplied Fläkt Woods, the industrial fan manufacturer, with high specification cable protection for the installation of powerful ventilation fans for the Marmaray tunnel rail project in Turkey.
The fans are design to operate at up to 300°C for up to two hours, allowing evacuation in the event of a fire. During such an incident it is vital to protect the supply cabling, to keep the fans running. Flexicon’s low fire hazard (LFHU) conduit was selected to protect the fans power cables against the potential high temperatures.
The flexible conduit within the fans also needed to provide protection in hazardous areas. Flexicon’s LTP conduit system, with EXD barrier glands were able to meet the ATEX and IEC Ex approvals needed.
