In industrial conditions, there are different kinds of installations endangered by explosions of dust-gas mixtures. In order to prevent them from any consequences of potential explosions, active protection systems which use extinguishing powders as the suppressing material are becoming more widely applied. It often happens that the industrial installations are additionally endangered by mechanical vibrations, In the above mentioned conditions, the extinguishing powder tends to agglomerate, making the process of dispersing it in the protected areas more difficult. The presented research was aimed at the development and testing of a super-fast explosion suppression system using smokeless powder or pyrotechnic material as an explosive charge and sodium bicarbonate or water as a suppressing material.
