Function and Description

Main Component - PROTEGO® Flame Arrester

The PROTEGO® BE/AD 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® gap size will depend on the device’s intended use.

For Explosion groups IIA to IIC

Specifying the operating conditions, such as the temperature, pressure, 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. The PROTEGO® BE/AD series endof- 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. EU conformity according to the currently valid ATEX directive. Approvals according to other national/international regulations on request.

Flow Capacity Chart

The flow capacity charts have been determined with a calibrated and TÜV certified flow capacity test rig. Volume flow V in (m³/h) and CFH refer to the standard reference conditions of air ISO 6358 (20°C, 1bar). For conversion to other densities and temperatures refer to Sec. 1: “Technical Fundamentals”.
