Function and Description

Detonation Arrester With the Advantages of a Shut-Off Valve

The PROTEGO® DR/SV Flame Arrester Series ideally combines the function of a detonation arrester with the advantages of a Shut-Off Valve. In case of ignition, the fire can be stabilized within the Flame Arrester when the flammable gas continues to flow. Inside the detonation arrester, is a valve (1) that closes in case of fire, stops the additional supply of fuel and extinguishes the flames.

Suction-Side Protection for Compressors and Pumps

Temperature sensors in combination with an emergency switch off do not have to be installed if the type PROTEGO® DR/SV device is used. This device is particularly useful for the sucction-side protection of compressors and pumps.

For Explosion Group IIA

Once a detonation enters the Flame Arrester, energy is absorbed from the detonation shock wave by the central plate disc (2) before the flame is extinguished in the narrow gaps of the two FLAMEFILTER® discs (3). This device can be used for fluids of explosion group IIA (NEC group D). The In-Line Detonation Flame Arresters are unidirectional and equipped with a threaded connection. The thread can be executed to international standards. The standard design can be used up to an operating temperature of +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. Approvals according to other national/international regulations on request.

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). For conversion to other densities and temperatures refer to Sec. 1: “Technical Fundamentals”.
