Function and Description

Protection of Ethanol and Alcohols in Non-Pressurized Systems and Containers

Main Component – PROTEGO® Flame Arrester Unit

The PROTEGO® BE-HK-E-IIB3 consists of a housing Carcasa 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 Cubierta de protección contra la intemperie A weather hood is a cover to protect the internal components of a device from environmental influences. (2) and the PROTEGO® Flame Arrester Unit (3). During normal operation the metal weather hood is in a closed position. If a stabilized flame burns on the Flame Arrester Element surface, the fusible link (5), located in a center position, will melt and let the spring Amortiguador A spring is a spiral of wire which returns to its original shape after it is pressed or pulled. loaded weather hood move into the open position. The PROTEGO® Flame Arrester Unit consists of two FLAMEFILTER® discs (4), which are installed in a FLAMEFILTER® casing FLAMEFILTER® casing Enclosure for FLAMEFILTER® including insert rings. .
