Function and Description

Sicherheit bei kurzzeitigen Abbrand

After the flame is detected, a secondary measure, such as inerting Inerting Replacing atmospheric oxygen in a plant with a non-reactive, non-flammable gas to prevent flame propagation in the atmosphere of a plant. or closing of a shut-off valve Shut-off valve A shut-off valve is used for controlled opening and closing of pipes. In closed position, the valve does not allow flow in any direction. to block the vapor flow to the device, should activate within 60 seconds and extinguish the flame so that the system can operate safely. The device prevents flame transmission from short time burning and atmospheric deflagration into the vessel Vessel Container or structural envelope in which materials are processed, treated or stored. or plant.

Main Component - PROTEGO® Flame Arrester

The PROTEGO® LH/AD-T consists of 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. (1), a weather hood (2), and the PROTEGO® flame arrester unit (3). The device is equipped with a metal weather hood. The FLAMEFILTER® (4) gap size depends on the device’s intended use. Specifying the operating conditions, such as the temperature, explosion Explosion Abrupt oxidation or decomposition reaction producing an increase in temperature, pressure, or in both simultaneously. group, and the composition of the fluid, enables PROTEGO® to select the best end-of-line deflagration flame arrester for your application.

For Explosion groups IIA to IIC

The PROTEGO® LH/AD-T series end-of-line deflagration flame arrester is available for substances from explosion groups IIA to IIC (NEC groups D to B). 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. Devices with special approval for higher temperatures are available upon request. EU conformity according to the currently valid ATEX directive. Approvals according to other national/international regulations on request.
