Function and Description

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

Main Component – PROTEGO® Flame Arrester Unit

The PROTEGO® BE/HR-E-IIB3 consists of 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. (1), a weather hood Weather hood 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 flame burns on the Flame Arrester Element surface, the fusible link (5), located in a center position, will melt and let the spring Spring 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. .

For Explosion Group IIB and Alcohols

The PROTEGO® BE/HR-E End-of-Line Deflagration Flame Arrester is available for hydrocarbons for explosion Explosion Abrupt oxidation or decomposition reaction producing an increase in temperature, pressure, or in both simultaneously. group IIB3 (MESG ≥ 0,65 mm) and alcohols. The standard design can be used for operating temperatures up to +60°C / 140°F. EU conformity according to the currently valid ATEX directive. Approvals according to other national/international regulations on request. Approved according to IMO MSC/Circular 677 as well as IMO MSC.1/Circular 1324 and 1325.
