Operation
Flame Arrestors, detonation flame arrestors, detonation arrestors,
flame detonation arrestors stop the propagation of a flame by absorbing
and dissipating heat through the large surface area of the bank sheets.
Ignited vapour attempting to pass through the arrestor is forced through
small passages within the bank assembly. Heat is absorbed, lowering the
temperature of the gas below its ignition point and quenching the flame.
Flame Arresters are typically used in the chemical, petrochemical and
pharmaceutical industries on applications such as storage tank
facilities, flare stacks, incineration systems, storage tank roofs or
digester convertor to prevent the propagation of confined and unconfined
delfagrations. Detonation flame Arresters additionally stop the high
pressures and velocities that can result in detonations. Incase of
ignition of vapours they burn harmlessly at the flame arrestor,
preventing ignition of vapours in the tank and subsequent explosion.
Design Features
The main benefits of the 'Fuidyne Atmos®. detonation flame
Arrestor, flame arrestors, detonation arrestors, flame detonation
arrestors are derived from ifs unique element design. The large channel
openings provide excellent pressure drop to flow and enhanced flow
characteristics often resulting in reducing overall size and cost of
both Flame arrestor and piping. In addition to this the less restrictive
nature of the larger channel openings result in less clogging and easier
cleaning - both important maintenance considerations. Finally the
element enables higher operating pressures to be achieved. The 'Fluidyne
Atmos®' Flame Arrestor after extensive research has been certified
and type tested by FCRI, B.V. and other government agencies, and has
also received the most stringent approval for Flame Arrestors,
incorporating extended burn time performance, and have acceptance with
B.P.C.L, I.O.C.L, H.P.C.L, L & T , REL , RIL & B.H.E.L., and
many chemical, pharmaceutical , power industries and petrochemical
industries.
Configuration
'Fluidyne Atmos®' Flame Arrestors are available for all common gas
groupings to IEC or NEC codes, and supplied in range of
sizes/materials/options; Net Free Area - three to four times, Bank
Assembly - estensible and removable. Special "off-set" housing
design is not affected by condensate accumulation, even when installed
in horizontal piping. The result is minimal pressure drop, increased
flow capacity and heat dissipation. Ordering information given below
