The PROTEGO DA-G series is a compact in-line detonation flame arrester for installation in pipes with diameters up to 2“, and is used, for example, in industrial applications such as gas analysis lines.
Once a detonation enters the flame arrester, energy is absorbed from the shock wave, and the flame is extinguished in the narrow gaps of the original FLAMEFILTER.

Model: DR/SV
Features:
• Protects against stabilised burning
• No expensive emergency switch-offs are required
• Temperature monitoring is not necessary
• Minimum number of FLAMEFILTER
• Easy to maintain
• The individual FLAMEFILTER can be quickly removed and installed
• The FLAMEFILTER can be individually replaced
• Cost efficient spare parts
• Provides protection from deflagrations and stable detonations
• Ideal protective system for vacuum pumps

The PROTEGO DR/SV flame arrester series ideally combines the function of a detonation arrester with the advantages of a cut-off valve. In case of ignition, the fire can be stabilised within the flame arrester when the flammable gas continues to flow. Inside the detonation arrester, is a valve that closes in case of fire, stops the additional supply of fuel and extinguishes the flames. Temperature sensors in combination with an emergency switch off do not have to be installed when a type PROTEGO DR/SV device is used. This device is particularly useful for the intake-side protection of compressors and pumps.
The flame arrester protects against deflagrations and stable detonations. It can be installed anywhere in the pipe independently from the distance of the potential ignition source.

Model: DA-E
Features:
• Eccentric design prevents the collection of condensate
• The modular design enables each individual FLAMEFILTER to be replaced
• Easy maintenance with quick removal and installation of FLAMEFILTER
• Cost efficient spare parts
• Eccentric design allows installation in close to wall pipes
• Bidirectional operation as well as any flow direction and installation position
• Protects from deflagrations and stable detonations

The PROTEGO DA-E series of detonation arresters is distinguished by its eccentric housing shape. When condensate accumulates within the PROTEGO flame arrester unit, the design enables the liquid to drain without collecting large amounts in the housing. The eccentricity of the device has decisive advantages in comparison to the classic flame arresters when pipes are installed close to the wall.
The detonation arrester is symmetrical and offers bidirectional flame arresting.

The in-line detonation flame arresters type PROTEGO DA-SB are the newest generation of flame arresters. On the basis of fluid dynamic, explosion dynamics calculation and decades of experience from field tests, a product line was developed that offers minimum pressure loss and maximum safety. The flame arrester uses the Shock Wave Guide Tube Effect (SWGTE) to optimally decouple the flame front and shock wave. The result is an in-line detonation arrester without a classic shock absorber; in addition the use of FLAMEFILTER is minimised.
The devices are symmetrical and offer bidirectional flame arresting for deflagrations and stable detonations.

The small and compact flame arrester has a right angle design.
Once a detonation enters the flame arrester, energy is absorbed from the detonation shock wave by diversion mainly through the shock absorber before the flame is extinguished in the narrow gaps of the original FLAMEFILTER.

Model: EF/V
• Almost service-free
• The check valve makes it easier to start the pump
• Provides protection from deflagrations and stable detonations
• Applicable to nearly all flammable liquids
• Meets TRbF 20 requirements
• The special strainer prevents solid particles from entering

The PROTEGO EF/V-IIB3 detonation-safe foot valve protects the suction line in a storage tank. The nearly service-free device is installed at the end of the emptying line within the tank. When a pump draws, the valve opens at an approximate underpressure of 30 mbar / 12 In W.C. . When the pump is turned off, the device functions as a check valve and prevents the line from emptying. This is very helpful when the pump is restarted.
Combustible mixtures can arise in filling and drain lines of storage containers that are not always filled with product. With the ignition of the explosive atmosphere, highly accelerated pipe deflagration or detonations can arise. The detonation-proof foot valve prevents the combustion from being transmitted into the tank and destroying it. The design of the foot valve ensures that the strainer is always filled with residual product. Together with the special valve design, this combination prevents flame flash back from the inside out.
