Lorem Ipsum Function of a Flame Arrester

Lorem Ipsum  A Flame Arrester is designed to allow the safe flow of gases and liquids while preventing flame transmission.

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. are composed of spirally wound metal bands with precisely reproducible flame- quenching Quenching Cooling of a fluid by mixing it with another fluid of a lower temperature. gaps. These gaps are adjusted to the ignition transmission capability of explosive vapors.

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 principle is applied in PROTEGO® end-of-line Flame Arresters 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.

The PROTEGO® devices are working to our utmost satisfaction. PROTEGO®—who, with their technical expertise, supported in reducing the overall life cycle cost of the Detonation Detonation Explosion propagating at supersonic velocity and characterized by a shock wave (EN 1127-1: 1997).
