FA-I-V, FA-I-P

PROTEGO® FA-I-V and FA-I-P flame arresters Flame Arresters A flame arrester, deflagration arrester, or flame trap is a device or form of construction that will allow free passage of a gas or gaseous mixture but will interrupt or prevent the passage of flame. are specifically designed for vacuum Vacuum Vacuum is the pressure in an enclosed space that is lower than the ambient pressure. pumps, blowers, and compressors. The high flow velocity in the small gaps of these machines can lead to undesirable ignitions within the 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. . One of the safest measures against explosion Explosion Abrupt oxidation or decomposition reaction producing an increase in temperature, pressure, or in both simultaneously. propagation are flame arrester Flame arrester Device fitted to the opening of an enclosure, or to the connecting pipe work of a system of enclosures, and whose intended function is to allow flow but prevent the transmission of a flame. units that are installed on the vacuum and pressure side of the 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. .

PROTEGO® FA-I-V and FA-I-P devices are symmetrical in design. The arrester essentially consists of two housing parts (1) and 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) in the center. The PROTEGO® flame arrester unit is modular and consists of several FLAMEFILTER® (3) and spacers firmly held in a FLAMEFILTER® cage FLAMEFILTER® cage The FLAMEFILTER® cage is a housing for a FLAMEFILTER® set. . The number of FLAMEFILTER® and their gap size depends on the arrester´s conditions of use. PROTEGO® FA-I-V and FA-I-P flame arresters are available for explosion groups IIA to IIC (NEC groups D to B) and special gases such as ethylene oxide.
