Steam curtain
(OP)
Hello all,
What is a steam curtain ? how does it work. is there any NFPA standard?
any one have some info abt this system.
we want to install a steam curtain system around the furnace to stop flammable gases travelling towards heater.
How does it functions? In case of fire how it will be activated?
what type of steam i need ? like pressure and temperature?
what are the main components of the system?
Thanks in advance.

An example of a steam curtain used in an ethylene plant to prevent ignition of a flammable gas cloud by the cracking heaters is given in the following link (see picture 3): http://www
RE: Steam curtain
Both steam and water curtains are discussed in "Loss Prevention in the Process Industries" by Frank P. Lees, complete with references. As far as I know NPFA standards do not contain information about water/steam curtains for gas dispersion.
They are not activated in case of fire but in case of flammable gas detection (or for other applications in case of toxic gas detection). The system consists of pipes, valves and orifices.
