Function and Description

Protection Against Atmospheric Deflagrations, Volume Deflagrations, and Engines

The PROTEGO® FA-I-FC flame arrester units are components installed on or within equipment Equipment Machines, appliances, fixed or mobile devices, control parts and accessories, and warning and prevention systems, whether separate or combined, intended for the generation, transfer, storage, measurement, control, and conversion of energy, and for the processing of materials, which have their own potential source of ignition and may cause an explosion. (e.g. blowers) and have to be tested and approved with this equipment for the respective operating conditions of use. It consists of a FLAMEFILTER® cage FLAMEFILTER® cage The FLAMEFILTER® cage is a housing for a FLAMEFILTER® set. filled with FLAMEFILTER®. The FLAMEFILTER® cages are sized so that they can be installed between flange connections. The component Component A component that is required for the safe operation of equipment and protective systems without performing an autonomous function itself. provides equipment manufacturers protection against deflagrations, volume deflagrations or protection of engines.

Main component - PROTEGO® flame arrester

Each flame arrester unit Flame arrester unit Flame arrester casing with FLAMEFILTER® set. is selected from a modular system that provides each manufacturer the option of using optimized, adapted, and cost-effective protection. Our expert technical staff will assist you with the proper selection of the devices as well as execution of type testing.

For All Explosion Groups and Special Gases

The FA-I-FC flame arrester unit consists of two FLAMEFILTER® (1) installed within the FLAMEFILTER® cage (2). The FLAMEFILTER® diameter and gap size depend on the intended use. FA-I-FC components can be arranged for all explosion Explosion Abrupt oxidation or decomposition reaction producing an increase in temperature, pressure, or in both simultaneously. groups and special gases such as ethylene oxide.
