Protects Against Deflagrations and Stable Detonations
The PROTEGO® DR/ES Series In-Line Detonation Flame Arrester with connection size up to ¾“ is ideal for installation in small pipes and to protect equipment such as gas analyzers. The device Appareil A device is a pipe component that influences the media flow by opening, closing, or partially shutting off the flow channel or by dividing or mixing the media flow. protects against deflagrations and stable detonations. It can be installed anywhere in the pipe no matter what the distance is from the potential ignition source Source d‘inflammation Toute source contenant suffisamment d‘énergie pour déclencher une combustion. . The small and compact Flame Arrester has a right angle design.
Main Component – PROTEGO® Flame Arrester Unit
Once a detonation enters the Flame Arrester, energy is absorbed from the detonation shock wave by diversion mainly through the shock absorber Amortisseur de choc A shock absorber is a device that reduces the kinetic energy of a detonation. (1) before the flame is extinguished in the narrow gaps of the FLAMEFILTER® (3). The PROTEGO® Flame Arrester Unit (2) consists of several FLAMEFILTER® discs and spacers (for explosion group IIC - NEC group B) whose gap size and number is determined by the operating parameters of the processed fluid (explosion group, pressure, temperature). This device is available for explosion groups IIB3 and IIC (NEC group C MESG ≥ 0.65 mm and B).
Many Individual Certifications
This In-Line Detonation Flame Arrester functions unidirectional and is equipped with a threaded connection. The thread can be adapted to international standards. The standard design is approved at an operating temperature Operating temperature Temperature reached when the equipment is operating under design conditions. up to +60°C / 140°F and an absolute operating pressure Pression de service Operating pressure is the pressure existing at normal operating conditions within the system being protected. acc. to table 3. Devices with special approvals can be obtained for higher pressures and higher temperatures upon request. EU conformity according to the currently valid ATEX directive. Approvals according to other national/international regulations on request.
Dimensions
To select the nominal size Diamètre nominal The nominal size is an alphanumeric designation of size for components in a piping system, used for reference purposes, comprising the letters DN followed by a dimensionless integer that is indirectly related to the physical size of the bore or outside diameter of the connections, expessed in millimeters.

Flow Capacity Chart
The flow capacity charts have been determined with a calibrated and TÜV certified flow capacity test rig. Volume flow V in (m³/h) and CFH refer to the standard reference conditions of air ISO 6358 (20°C, 1bar). For conversion to other densities and temperatures refer to Sec. 1: “Technical Fundamentals”.
