Combustion Chamber Pressure Measurements and Safety Interlocks
The C guns provide the means for the measurement of the combustion chamber pressure, which is an essential parameter of the spray process.
The data from the combustion chamber pressure transducer are used for the detection of the powder carrier gas flow during the gun ignition process.
This allows creating a safety interlock for preventing gun ignition if no flow of carrier gas was detected, preventing the possibility of a flash-back into the powder hose and flow of combustible gases into the powder feeder.
