DynaSEALR X-series guide

What explosion capacity do you need?

Our DynaSEALR chambers are gas-tight up to at least the rated charge; usually 5 or 8 kg TNT-equivalent, up to a minimum of 1+10 repetitive shots (1 is performed during the FAT).

All Dynasafe products are analyzed by simulation for structural integrity from charge weights ranging from the rated explosion capacity up to a many times higher overload charge until it bursts virtually.

All Dynasafe products are further tested with the rated charge weight, to ensure a smooth delivery, high performance and compliance to our high quality standards. For some of our products we have performed tests also with the mentioned overload charge to verify the simulations. These tests show that there is a good alignment between test and simulation.

While not guarantees, further indicative numbers based on our simulations are:

• For a single detonation, the chamber is likely to be gas-tight up to around 1.5 times the rated charge in reality
• Repetitive detonations under non-gastight condition are reasonably safe up to 1.5 times the rated charge
• For a single non-gastight detonation 2 times the rated charge is a reasonably safe amount

Is protection against “dirty bombs” a requirement?

For reduction of Gamma radiation a protective layer of 30 mm lead can be filled between an outer and an inner sphere. This is a fixed (non removable) homogenous filling for maximum radiation protection.

Examples of pre-designed implementations, developed in close cooperation with customers to meet specific needs for their environments and circumstances:

• Trailer-mounted for outdoor use and long-distance transport (different sizes and features)

Examples of pre-designed implementations, developed in close cooperation with customers to meet specific needs for their environments and circumstances:

• Integrated with remote-operated drive unit (different sizes and features)

What features do you need?

Examples of optional equipment, developed in close cooperation with customers to meet the specific needs for their environments and circumstances, are:

• Fragment shield to protect against fragmentation bombs
• Radio remote-controlled operation
• Manipulator arm to remotely load objects into the chamber
• Vision system to support the remote-control
• Robot buttons for alternative opening/closing by robot
• Heating inside the chamber to destroy the contained object
• Gas sampling equipment
• Equipment for gas cleaning and chamber decontamination

The DynaSEALR X is by default equipped with a control panel, connected with a 50 m long cable. Most versions can be modified to also include a radio transmitter and receiver for wireless control up to 300 m (line of sight) of functions such as opening and closing of the vessel, pressurizing and decompressing of seals, etc. (This function is included as default in the IDU versions.) The radio remote-control option can combine both wireless and cable control of the vessel.

The standard control panel with 50 m cable and the Radio Remote Control version has the same casing and main machine interface. When using the RRC option, simply connect the cable to the control box if cable operation is preferred.

The optional vision system supports the possibility to remote control the DynaSEALR X on drive unit and the optional manipulator arm.

The system consists of four cameras, a video link, and a separate panel presenting the video information. The operator panel features joysticks and buttons for controlling the manipulator arm.

The four cameras are placed to provide vantage points forwards, backwards, of the loading area and of the manipulator arm gripper. Camera selection is controlled either automatically or manually.

With the optional internal heating system installed, suspect objects can be destroyed inside the vessel through a heating process.

The electrical heating system is capable of heating the loading tray of the chamber to approximately 350°C, a temperature high enough to destroy all presently known explosives. Any explosives present will burn, deflagrate, or detonate. 

The Treatment System for Bomb Chamber (TSBC) is a system designed to treat contamination inside a closed and gas-tight DynaSEALR.

Treatment with the TSBC greatly reduces the risk of opening the DynaSEALR after toxic material has been released inside. Although it is not possible to achieve a complete decontamination without opening the vessel, the trapped gas inside can be cleaned or destroyed and every surface inside the DynaSEALR can be saturated with a treatment solution.
