Features
Function and Description
Maintenance-Friendly In-Line-Detonation Flame Arrester
In the development of the PROTEGO® DR/SBW In-Line Detonation Detonation Explosion propagating at supersonic velocity and characterized by a shock wave. Flame Arrester Flame arrester 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. , special effort was made to ease future maintenance Maintenance Combination of all technical and administrative actions, including supervision actions, intended to maintain or restore a unit in working order. of the Flame Arresters. The PROTEGO® Flame Arrester Unit PROTEGO® flame arrester unit The PROTEGO® flame arrester unit is the main component of a flame arrester. It prevents flame propagation. (5) can be removed and cleaned within moments without having to disassemble the piping. The effective shock absorber Shock absorber A shock absorber is a device that reduces the kinetic energy of a detonation. of the device Device 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. and elaborate housing Housing A housing is a solid shell, which surrounds a content, either protecting the content from external influences, or protecting the environment from the content. geometry reduces the number of FLAMEFILTER® discs to a minimum.
Main Component – PROTEGO® Flame Arrester Unit
The device is symmetrical and offers bidirectional flame arresting protecting from stable detonations and deflagrations. The Flame Arrester consists of a double-jacket housing (1) with two integrated shock absorbers (2) with the PROTEGO® Flame Arrester Unit in the center. The PROTEGO® Flame Arrester Unit consists of several FLAMEFILTER® discs (4) and spacers firmly held in a FLAMEFILTER® cage FLAMEFILTER® cage The FLAMEFILTER® cage is a housing for a FLAMEFILTER® set. (3). The number of FLAMEFILTER® discs and their gap size depends on the arrester‘s conditions of use. By indicating the operating parameters such as the temperature, pressure Pressure (gauge pressure) Pressure for which the value is equal to the algebraic difference between the absolute pressure and the atmospheric pressure. and explosion Explosion Abrupt oxidation or decomposition reaction producing an increase in temperature, pressure, or in both simultaneously. group and the composition of the fluid, the optimum In-Line Detonation Flame Arrester can be selected. The PROTEGO® DR/SBW Series of Flame Arresters is available for explosion Explosion Abrupt oxidation or decomposition reaction producing an increase in temperature, pressure, or in both simultaneously. groups IIA to IIB3 (NFPA group D to C MESG ≥ 0.65 mm).
Many Individual Certifications
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 Operating pressure 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. Type-approved in accordance with the current ATEX Directive and as well as other international standards.
