Function and Description

Protection Against Atmospheric Deflagration and Endurance Burning

The PROTEGO® EB-Z End-of-Line Deflagration Flame Arrester Arrête-flammes antidéflagration Flame arrester designed to prevent the transmission of a deflagration. It can be an end-of-line flame arrester or an in-line flame arrester. has been successfully used to protect small vessels and process engineering apparatus which are not pressurized. 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. provides protection against flame transmission through atmospheric deflagration and stabilized flames which can burn for very long time on the flame arrester element surface, so called endurance burning Endurance burning Stabilized burning for an unlimited time. . Main application area is on in- and outbreathing vent lines, with the goal to prevent flame transmission caused by endurance burning or atmospheric deflagration from propagating into the vessel Récipient Container or structural envelope in which materials are processed, treated or stored. or plant.

Main Component – PROTEGO® Flame Arrester Unit

The PROTEGO® EB-Z consists of a housing Corps A housing is a solid shell, which surrounds a content, either protecting the content from external influences, or protecting the environment from the content. (1), a weather hood Capot de protection contre les intempéries A weather hood is a cover to protect the internal components of a device from environmental influences. (2) and the FLAMEFILTER® (3). The weather hood is made out of acrylic glass, which will melt when impacted by flames and allow heat to dissipate to the environment. The PROTEGO® EB-Z Series End-of-Line Deflagration Flame Arrester is available for substances of explosion group IIA (NEC group D MESG > 0.90 mm)

Many Individual Certifications

The standard design can be used for operating temperatures up to +60°C / 140°F. EU conformity according to the currently valid ATEX directive. Approvals according to other national/international regulations on request.

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”.
