Function and Description
The PROTEGO® EH/0S vent cap allows vessels which are not pressurized to vent. This device prevents rain and dirt entering the vent line. The PROTEGO® EH/0S vent cap is not flame transmission proof. It is often used in combination with detonation flame arresters, when those are used in vent lines, installed at a position which creates a long run up distance from the end of the vent line to prevent endurance burning. The PROTEGO® EH/0S will then be installed at the end of that vent line to prevent particles or rain from entering the line.
The vent cap PROTEGO® EH/0S main components are a housing (1), a weather hood (2) and a protection screen (3). The device is equipped with a fixed weather hood out of metal. The protection screen prevents particles or rain from entering the line.

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”.
