Function and Description

For Industrial Use in Gas Analysis Lines

The PROTEGO® DA-G series is a compact in-line detonation flame arrester In-line detonation flame arrester A detonation flame arrester is designed to prevent the transmission of a detonation. for installation in pipes with diameters up to 3“ and is used, for example, in industrial applications such as gas analysis lines. Once a detonation Detonation Explosion propagating at supersonic velocity and characterized by a shock wave (EN 1127-1: 1997). enters the flame arrester, energy is absorbed from the shock wave, and the flame is extinguished in the narrow gaps of the FLAMEFILTER® (1).

Main component - PROTEGO® flame arrester

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. consists of several FLAMEFILTER® discs firmly held in a 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. . The gap size and number of FLAMEFILTER® discs are determined by the operating data and parameters of the mixture flowing in the line ( explosion Explosion Abrupt oxidation or decomposition reaction producing an increase in temperature, pressure, or in both simultaneously. group, pressure, temperature). To provide an optimum result between the housing size, number of FLAMEFILTER® discs and their gap size, a 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. was developed that can be used for all explosion groups - IIA, IIB3 and IIC (NEC Group D, C MESG ≥ 0.65 mm and B). The standard design can be used with an operating temperature Operating temperature Temperature reached when the equipment is operating under design conditions. of 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. up to 1.1 bar / 15.9 psi. Devices with special approvals for higher pressures (see table 3) and higher temperatures are available upon request.

Many Individual Certifications

The device is bi-directional and equipped with a threaded connection. This can be adapted to international standards. The detonation arrester Detonation flame arrester Flame arrester designed to prevent the transmission of a detonation. can be used at any location in the pipe, regardless of the location of the ignition source Ignition source Any source with enough energy to initiate combustion. . EU conformity according to the currently valid ATEX directive. Approvals according to other national/international regulations on request.

Dimensions

To select the nominal size Nominal size The nominal size is an alphanumeric designation of size for components in a piping system, used for reference purposes, comprising the letters DN followed by a dimensionless integer that is indirectly related to the physical size of the bore or outside diameter of the connections, expessed in millimeters.

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”.
