End-of-Line Deflagration Flame Arresters

ESA

Gas Groups: D | IIA & IIA1 

The Protectoseal EVB Series End-of-Line Flame Arresters are designed to be installed at the end of a pipeline or exit vent from a vessel to provide protection against atmospheric deflagrations. Vapors are allowed to escape into the atmosphere and air can be drawn into the tank through the E-Flow® enhanced crimped ribbon arresting element. If an ignition source outside the tank (unconfined deflagration) is encountered, the flame arrester provides protection for the tank’s vapor space. 

Description

  • Short-time* Burn capability  
  • Elevated operating temperature Range -4°F to +302°F (20°C to +150°C). 
  • E-Flow® technology provides exceptional flow capacities with minimal pressure drop 
  • Unique element design is less susceptible to fouling/clogging 
  • Replaceable element for easier maintenance  
  • Lightweight for ease of installation 
  • Bird screen to prevent foreign object from entering tank 

* Short time burn protection for up to 2 minutes, however any secondary protection measure must be implemented within 60 seconds of detection of a short time burn event.
