Function and Description

Excentric Design

The PROTEGO® FA-E series of in-line deflagration flame arresters Deflagration flame arrester 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. is designed with an eccentric 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. to automatically drain condensate build up in the housing. Due to its eccentric design, 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. can be installed in pipelines that run close to floors or walls and low points to prevent the build-up of condensate. When installing the deflagration Deflagration Explosion propagating at subsonic velocity (EN 1127-1:1997). flame arrester, make sure that the distance between potential ignition sources and the location of the installed device does not exceed the L/D ratio (pipe length/pipe diameter) for which the device was approved.

Main Component - PROTEGO® Flame Arrester

According to EN ISO 16852, the installation limits are (L/D)max ≤ 50 for deflagration flame arresters of explosion groups IIA and IIB3 (NEC groups D to C) and (L/D)max ≤ 30 for explosion group IIC (NEC group B). The devices are symmetrical and offer bi-directional flame transmission protection. The arrester essentially consists of two housing parts (1) and a 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. (2) in the center. The PROTEGO® flame arrester unit is modular and consists of several FLAMEFILTER® discs (3) and spacers firmly held in a FLAMEFILTER® casing FLAMEFILTER® casing Enclosure for FLAMEFILTER® including insert rings. . The number of FLAMEFILTER® and their gap size depends on the device‘s intended use.

For Explosion group IIA to IIC

Specifying the operating conditions, such as the temperature, pressure, explosion group, and the composition of the fluid, enables PROTEGO® to select the best deflagration flame arrester for your application. The PROTEGO® FA-E series of deflagration flame arresters is available for substances from explosion groups IIA to IIC (NEC groups D to B).

Many Individual Certifications
