Function and Description

In-line detonation flame arresters with Shock Wave Guide Tube Effect

The in-line detonation flame arresters Detonation flame arrester Flame arrester designed to prevent the transmission of a detonation. type PROTEGO® DA-SB-EO are the newest generation of 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. . Based on flow and explosion Explosion Abrupt oxidation or decomposition reaction producing an increase in temperature, pressure, or in both simultaneously. dynamic calculations as well as decades of field tests, a product Product Includes equipment, protective systems, devices, components and combinations of these. line was developed that offers minimum pressure losses with maximum safety. The flame arrester uses the Shock Wave Guide Tube Effect (SWGTE) to separate the flame front and shock wave. The result is an in-line detonation arrester without a classic shock absorber Shock absorber A shock absorber is a device that reduces the kinetic energy of a detonation. , which minimizes the use of FLAMEFILTER® discs.

Main component - PROTEGO® flame arrester

The devices are symmetrical and offer bi-directional flame arresting for deflagrations and stable detonations for Ethylene oxide/air-mixtures. The arrester essentially consists of two 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. parts with an integrated shock tube (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® discs (3) and spacers firmly held in a FLAMEFILTER® casing FLAMEFILTER® casing Enclosure for FLAMEFILTER® including insert rings. .

Many Individual Certifications

The standard design can be used with an operating temperature Operating temperature Temperature reached when the equipment is operating under design conditions. of up to +60°C / 140°F and an absolute operating pressure Operating pressure Operating pressure is the pressure existing at normal operating conditions within the system being protected. up to 1.1 bar / 15.9 psi. EU conformity according to the currently valid ATEX directive.
