Function and Description

Secure Potentially Explosive Plants Against Pipe Deflagrations and Stable Detonations

The PROTEGO® DR-UN In-Line Detonation Flame Arrester are used to secure potentially explosive plants against pipe deflagrations and stable detonations. In the right-angle design and with the PROTEGO® DR/U identical dimensions, the PROTEGO® DR-UN offers considerable maintenance and cost benefits. Once a detonation enters the device Appareil A device is a pipe component that influences the media flow by opening, closing, or partially shutting off the flow channel or by dividing or mixing the media flow. , energy is absorbed from the detonation shock wave by the integrated shock absorber Amortisseur de choc A shock absorber is a device that reduces the kinetic energy of a detonation. (1) before the flame is extinguished in the narrow gaps of the FLAMEFILTER® (3).

For Explosion Groups IIA to IIB3

The PROTEGO® Flame Arrester Unit (2) consists of several FLAMEFILTER® discs and spacers firmly held in the FLAMEFILTER® cage Cage d'éléments arrête-flammes The FLAMEFILTER® cage is a housing for a FLAMEFILTER® set. (4). The gap size and number of FLAMEFILTER® discs are determined by the operating data of the mixture flowing in the line (explosion group, pressure, temperature). This device is approved for explosion groups from IIA to IIB3 (NEC group D to C MESG ≥ 0.65 mm). The standard design is approved at an operating temperature Operating temperature Temperature reached when the equipment is operating under design conditions. up to +60°C / 140°F and an absolute operating pressure Pression de service Operating pressure is the pressure existing at normal operating conditions within the system being protected. up to 1.2 bar / 17.4 psi. EU conformity according to the currently valid ATEX directive.
