Against the Propagation of Explosions
PROTEGO® FA-I-V and FA-I-P Flame Arresters Apagallamas Device fitted to the opening of an enclosure, or to the connecting pipe work of a system of enclosures, and whose intended function is to allow flow but prevent the transmission of a flame. are specifically designed for vacuum Vacío Vacuum is the pressure in an enclosed space that is lower than the ambient pressure. pumps, blowers, and compressors. The high flow velocity in the small gaps of these machines can lead to undesirable ignitions within the housing Carcasa A housing is a solid shell, which surrounds a content, either protecting the content from external influences, or protecting the environment from the content. . One of the safest measures against explosion Explosion Abrupt oxidation or decomposition reaction producing an increase in temperature, pressure, or in both simultaneously. propagation are Flame Arrester Unit that are installed on the vacuum and pressure side of the equipment Equipment Machines, appliances, fixed or mobile devices, control parts and accessories, and warning and prevention systems, whether separate or combined, intended for the generation, transfer, storage, measurement, control, and conversion of energy, and for the processing of materials, which have their own potential source of ignition and may cause an explosion. .
Unique Modular System for Optimized Flame Arresters
PROTEGO® FA-I-V devices for the vacuum side and PROTEGO® FA-I-P devices for the pressure side provide a unique modular design that gives every manufacturer of vacuum pumps or comparable devices the option of using optimized and adapted Flame Arresters. Our expert technical staff will assist you with the proper selection of the devices as well as execution of type testing.
Main Component – PROTEGO® Flame Arrester Unit
PROTEGO® FA-I-V and FA-I-P devices are symmetrical in design. The arrester essentially consists of two housing parts (1) and the PROTEGO® Flame Arrester Unit (2) in the center. The PROTEGO® Flame Arrester Unit is modular and consists of several FLAMEFILTER® (3) and spacers firmly held in a FLAMEFILTER® cage Carcasa del elemento apagallamas The FLAMEFILTER® cage is a housing for a FLAMEFILTER® set. . The number of FLAMEFILTER® and their gap size depends on the arrester´s conditions of use. PROTEGO® FA-I-V and FA-I-P Flame Arresters are available for explosion groups IIA to IIC (NEC groups D to B) and special gases such as Ethylene oxide.
