Function and Description

Reduction of Flame Propagation Speed

When a highly accelerated pipe deflagration Deflagration Explosion propagating at subsonic velocity (EN 1127-1:1997). or detonation occurs, the combustion pressure and flame propagation speed is substantially reduced by the design, converted into a low-energy deflagration, and then stopped by the remaining immersion liquid.

For Explosion Groups IIA to IIB3

The application range for the device is a product vapor/air mixture temperature of up to + 60°C / 140°F and an absolute pressure up to 1.1 bar / 15.9 psi. This covers all possible operating conditions of empty lines for flammable liquids. The liquid detonation arrester is pressure-resistant up to 10 bar / 145 psi. The device protects against nearly all flammable liquids and is approved for explosion Explosion Abrupt oxidation or decomposition reaction producing an increase in temperature, pressure, or in both simultaneously. groups IIA to IIB3 (NEC group D to C MESG ≥ 0.65 mm). EU conformity according to the currently valid ATEX directive. Approvals according to other national/international regulations on request.

Flow Capacity Chart

The volume flow V in m³/h was determined with water according to DIN EN 60534 at a temperature Tn = 20°C and an atmospheric pressure pn = 1,013 bar, kinematic viscosity v = 10-6 m²/s
To avoid electrostatic charge of flammable liquids the maximum flow is limited (refer to TRGS 727, CENELEC-Report CLC/TR 60079-32-1).
