Abort gates are used on the clean air discharge of a dust collector to divert a flame front from entering the building to comply with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) requirements. Abort gates are activated by spark detectors located upstream from the abort gate and downstream from the clean air discharge of the dust collector;
In normal operation the diverter plate is raised into the armed position allowing the clean air to pass straight though the abort gate. When the gate receives an alarm signal from the spark detection control panel, the diverter plate is released and drops down causing the air flow to be diverted from the normal straight through path making a U turn to divert the flame front to atmosphere.
