Secure Potentially Explosive Plants Against Pipe Deflagrations and Stable Detonations
The PROTEGO® DR-UN In-Line Detonation Detonation Explosion, die sich mit Überschallgeschwindigkeit fortpflanzt, gekennzeichnet durch eine Stoßwelle. 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, energy is absorbed from the detonation shock wave by the integrated shock absorber (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 (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 up to +60°C / 140°F and an absolute operating pressure up to 1.2 bar / 17.4 psi. EU conformity according to the currently valid ATEX directive.
