Compact and Maintenance-Friendly Design
The PROTEGO® FA-CN In-Line Deflagration Flame Arrester Deflagration flame arrester Flame arrester designed to prevent the transmission of a deflagration. It can be an end-of-line flame arrester or an in-line flame arrester. is a compact design utilizing an easy access cover for easy maintenance Maintenance Combination of all technical and administrative actions, including supervision actions, intended to maintain or restore a unit in working order. . The special PROTEGO® FA-CN-IIC version was developed for hydrogen applications (group IIC vapors – NEC group B). The device Device 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. is designed with relatively large gap widths – related to IIC – which causes minimum pressure Pressure (gauge pressure) Pressure for which the value is equal to the algebraic difference between the absolute pressure and the atmospheric pressure. loss and allows for permeation of small liquid droplets or particles.

Main Component – PROTEGO® Flame Arrester Unit
The PROTEGO® Flame Arrester Unit PROTEGO® flame arrester unit The PROTEGO® flame arrester unit is the main component of a flame arrester. It prevents flame propagation. can be removed and cleaned in just a few simple steps having to disassemble the pipe. When installing the Deflagration Flame Arrester, make sure that the distance between potential ignition sources and thelocation of the installed device does not exceed the L/D ratio (pipe length/ pipe diameter) for which the device was approved (see table 4). The Deflagration Flame Arrester is symmetrical and offers bidirectional flame transmission protection. The device consists of the housing Housing A housing is a solid shell, which surrounds a content, either protecting the content from external influences, or protecting the environment from the content. (1) with an easy access cover (3) 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 FLAMEFILTER® cage The FLAMEFILTER® cage is a housing for a FLAMEFILTER® set. .

For Explosion Group IIC
Specifying the operating conditions, such as the temperature, pressure, explosion Explosion Abrupt oxidation or decomposition reaction producing an increase in temperature, pressure, or in both simultaneously. group, and the composition of the fluid, enables PROTEGO® to select the best Deflagration Flame Arrester for your application. The versions of PROTEGO® FA-CN-IIC Flame Arrester Flame arrester Device fitted to the opening of an enclosure, or to the connecting pipe work of a system of enclosures, and whose intended function is to allow flow but prevent the transmission of a flame. protect against deflagrations of fuel/air mixtures of explosion Explosion Abrupt oxidation or decomposition reaction producing an increase in temperature, pressure, or in both simultaneously. group IIC (NEC B). FA-CN devices for substances of explosion Explosion Abrupt oxidation or decomposition reaction producing an increase in temperature, pressure, or in both simultaneously. groups IIA1, IIA, and IIB3 (NEC D and C (MESG ≥ 0.65 mm) are shown on separate pages. The standard design can be used with an operating temperature Operating temperature Temperature reached when the equipment is operating under design conditions. of up to +60°C / 140°F and an absolute operating pressure Operating pressure Operating pressure is the pressure existing at normal operating conditions within the system being protected. up to 1.1 bar / 15.9 psi.
