The IEP Hoerbiger EVN 2.0 and 3.0 valves are revolutionary explosion relief valves and flameless explosion vents with a low-mass valve plate and low response pressure. This flameless vent reacts within fractions of a second in the event of an explosion. Following an explosion, it immediately seals again manually or automatically, lowering the risk of secondary explosions and costly replacement.
Special features of Hoerbiger explosion relief valves:
The standard range features an opening pressure of 0.05 bar ± 20%.
Standard range components are made of carbon steel, coated. Special materials are available on request.
Each valve is equipped with an opening detection as standard.
For specific efficiency values (%EF) mandatory for correct sizing of the necessary relief area please contact CMC Technologies Pty Ltd.

The EVN 3.0H is an automatic reclosing, flameless explosion venting device. In case of an overpressure event (i.e a dust explosion), the valve opens and as soon the pressure falls back below the opening pressure of the valve, the valve plate closes immediately. Here are some of the features/benefits of this model
Flameless vent Type EVN3.0H- (Hygenic)
Differences between the EVN2.0 and the EVN3.0H
NEW – Type EVN 3.0H NC
The EVN 3.0H NC is a manual re-closing flameless explosion venting device. In case of an overpressure event (i.e., a dust explosion), the valve opens and remains open until the valve plate is released manually by hand. This type of valve can be used in combination with flap valves as an explosion isolation barrier that has been tested acc. to EN16447-“Alternative testing procedure”. The chamfered shape and gap-free construction of the valve inlet prevent sedimentary product deposits. This construction allows for CIP cleaning inside the protected vessel.
Dust properties
The HOERBIGER Explosion Relief Valves type EVN 3.0H and EVN 3.0H NC were tested for the following dust groups according to EN 16009:
