Function and Description

Main component - PROTEGO® flame arrester

The deflagration flame arrester is symmetrical and offers bi-directional flame transmission protection. The device 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) with an easy access cover (3) and the PROTEGO® flame arrester unit (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. . The number of FLAMEFILTER® discs and their gap size depend on the device’s intended use.

For Explosion groups IIA to IIC

Specifying the operating conditions, such as the temperature, pressure, explosion group, and the composition of the fluid, enables PROTEGO® to select the best deflagration flame arrester for your application. This version of PROTEG® FA-CN-IIA and IIB3 flame arrester protects against deflagrations of fuel/air mixtures of explosion groups IIA and IIB 3 (NEC D and C {MESG ≥0.65 mm}). PROTEG® FA-CN devices for substances of explosion groups IIA1 and IIC (NEC group B) are shown on separate pages. 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. Devices with special approval for higher pressures (see table 3) and higher temperatures are available upon request. EU conformity according to the currently valid ATEX directive. Approvals according to other national/international regulations on request.
