Main component - PROTEGO® flame arrester
The PROTEGO® EB-IIA consists of the PROTEGO® flame arrester unit (1) and the metal weather hood (2). During normal operation, the metal weather hood is in a closed position. If a stabilized flame burns on the flame arrester element surface, the melting element (3), located in a center position, will melt and let the
