PROTEGO®
Deflagration Flame Arresters
Reliable Explosion Protection for Low-Velocity Flame Propagation
Deflagration Flame Arresters Deflagration flame arrester Flame arrester designed to prevent the transmission of a deflagration. It can be an end-of-line flame arrester or an in-line flame arrester. are a critical safety component Component A component that is required for the safe operation of equipment and protective systems without performing an autonomous function itself. in systems where flammable gases or vapours are present and ignition risk cannot be fully eliminated. Designed to stop flame propagation before it travels upstream into protected equipment Equipment Machines, appliances, fixed or mobile devices, control parts and accessories, and warning and prevention systems, whether separate or combined, intended for the generation, transfer, storage, measurement, control, and conversion of energy, and for the processing of materials, which have their own potential source of ignition and may cause an explosion. , these devices help maintain process integrity while supporting safe and compliant operations. PROTEGO® Deflagration Flame arresters are engineered for applications where flame speeds remain subsonic and pressures are relatively low.
Highlights of PROTEGO® Deflagration Flame Arresters
Zero flashback incidents
Higher uptime & lower losses
Lifecycle confidence
Compliance made simpler
Lorem Ipsum Working principle of Flame Arresters
Lorem Ipsum The FLAMEFILTER® is made of wound metal strips and forms an effective band arrester. This flame- quenching Quenching Cooling of a fluid by mixing it with another fluid of a lower temperature. principle is applied in PROTEGO® end-of-line Flame Arresters Flame arrester Device fitted to the opening of an enclosure, or to the connecting pipe work of a system of enclosures, and whose intended function is to allow flow but prevent the transmission of a flame. and in-line Flame Arresters.
When a mixture ignites in a gap, the flame spreads towards the unburned mixture. The volume expansion of the burned mixture pre-compresses the unburned mixture and accelerates the flame propagation.
Lorem Ipsum Heat dissipation to the large surface of the gap lowers the temperature below the ignition temperature Ignition temperature Lowest temperature (of a hot surface) at which ignition of a flammable gas or vapor in a mixture with air or air/inert gas occurs under specified test conditions. , thus extinguishing the flame.
The gap width and gap length determine the extinguishing effectiveness of the Flame Arrester.
A narrower and longer gap extinguishes the flame more effectively, while a wider and shorter gap reduces the pressure loss. Experiments can determine the optimum solution between the two conditions.
We are highly impressed to see the quality of the products and the knowledge to help us build a state-of-the-art storage terminal. We have always appreciated the timely deliveries of the 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. and other equipment.
