Function and Description

Protects against deflagration and stable detonation

PROTEGO® DR/ES-V series uniquely combines the function of an in-line detonation flame arrester In-line detonation flame arrester A detonation flame arrester is designed to prevent the transmission of a detonation. with the function of a pressure relief valve Pressure-relief valve Valve designed to open and relieve excess pressure and to reclose and prevent the further flow of fluid after normal conditions have been restored. in one device. The device protects against deflagration and stable detonation. The weight-loaded pallet type valve (5) integrated in the shock absorber (1) of the in-line detonation flame arrester is designed as a pressure relief valve. The set pressure Set pressure Set pressure is the gauge pressure at the device inlet at which the relief device is set to start opening under service conditions. of the valve is adjusted in the factory and can range from 2 to 35 mbar (0.8 to 14 inch W.C.). After the pressure increases 40% from its set pressure, the valve completely opens to yield the maximum volumetric flow.

in-line detonation flame arrester for vent headers

If installed in vent headers connected to storage tanks, the valve pallet Valve pallet Valve pallet is the generic term for the assembly that rests on the valve seat. works as a check valve Check valve A check valve allows flow of the operating media in one direction and prevents flow in the opposite direction. . This means that the product Product Includes equipment, protective systems, devices, components and combinations of these. cannot flow back from the suction line into the tank. Although several functions are integrated in a single 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 device is extremely easy to service, which is primarily due to the right-angle design. Once a detonation enters the flame arrester, energy is absorbed from the detonation shock wave by the integrated shock absorber, before the flame is extinguished in the narrow gaps of the FLAMEFILTER® (3). The flame suppression is guaranteed, regardless of the valve pallet position.

For Explosion groups IIA to IIB3

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. (2) consists of several FLAMEFILTER® discs and spacers firmly held in the FLAMEFILTER® casing FLAMEFILTER® casing Enclosure for FLAMEFILTER® including insert rings. (4). The gap size and number of FLAMEFILTER® discs depend on the operating conditions of the flowing mixture ( explosion Explosion Abrupt oxidation or decomposition reaction producing an increase in temperature, pressure, or in both simultaneously. group, pressure, temperature). This device is available for explosion groups from IIA to IIB3 (NEC group D to C MESG ≥ 0.65 mm). The standard design is approved for an operating temperature Operating temperature Temperature reached when the equipment is operating under design conditions. of up to +60°C / 140°F and absolute operating pressure Operating pressure Operating pressure is the pressure existing at normal operating conditions within the system being protected. up to 1.2 bar / 17.4 psi. Devices with special approval for higher pressures and temperatures are available upon request. EU conformity according to the currently valid ATEX directive. Approvals according to other national/international regulations on request.
