Función y Descripción

The PROTEGO® LH/AD-T end-of-line deflagration flame arrester provides protection against flame transmission through atmospheric deflagration and short time burning on the flame arrester element. The device is typically installed on vent lines of vessels and plant equipment which are not pressurized. The device is equipped with a temperature sensor which immediately detects a flame on the FLAMEFILTER® surface. After the flame is detected, a secondary measure, such as inerting or closing of a shut-off valve to block the vapor flow to the device, should activate within 60 seconds and extinguish the flame so that the system can operate safely. The device prevents flame transmission from short time burning and atmospheric deflagration into the vessel or plant.

The PROTEGO® LH/AD-T consists of the housing (1), a weather hood (2), and the PROTEGO® flame arrester unit (3). The device is equipped with a metal weather hood. The FLAMEFILTER® (4) gap size depends on the device’s intended use. Specifying the operating conditions, such as the temperature, explosion group, and the composition of the fluid, enables PROTEGO® to select the best end-of-line deflagration flame arrester for your application. The PROTEGO® LH/AD-T series end-of-line deflagration flame arrester is available for substances from explosion groups IIA to IIC (NEC groups D to B).

The standard design can be used with an operating temperature of up to +60°C / 140°F. Devices with special approval for higher temperatures are available upon request.

Type-approved in accordance with the current ATEX Directive and EN ISO 16852, as well as other international standards.
