Fonction et description

In-Line Detonation Flame Arresters with Shock Wave Guide Tube Effect
The In-Line Detonation Detonation Explosion, die sich mit Überschallgeschwindigkeit fortpflanzt, gekennzeichnet durch eine Stoßwelle. Flame Arresters Type PROTEGO® DA-SB-EO are the newest generation of Flame Arresters. Based on flow and explosion dynamic calculations as well as decades of field tests, a product line was developed that offers minimum pressure losses with maximum safety. The Flame Arrester uses the Shock Wave Guide Tube Effect (SWGTE) to separate the flame front and shock wave. The result is an in-line detonation arrester without a classic shock absorber, which minimizes the use of FLAMEFILTER® discs.

Main Component – PROTEGO® Flame Arrester Unit
The devices are symmetrical and offer bi-directional flame arresting for deflagrations and stable detonations for Ethylene oxide/air-mixtures. The arrester essentially consists of two housing parts with an integrated shock tube (1) 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.

Many Individual Certifications
The standard design can be used with an operating temperature of up to +60°C / 140°F and an absolute operating pressure up to 1.1 bar / 15.9 psi. EU conformity according to the currently valid ATEX directive.

Flow Capacity Chart
The flow capacity charts have been determined with a calibrated and TÜV certified flow capacity test rig. Volume flow V in (m³/h) and CFH refer to the standard reference conditions of air ISO 6358 (20°C, 1bar).
