PROTEGO® BE/HR-400
The PROTEGO® BE/HR-400 end-of-line deflagration flame • fusible link is resistant against chemicals
arrester is designed to protect large vessels and plants which
• weather hood out of metal don’t produce second-
are not pressurized. The device provides protection against
ary combustion, as created from plexiglass hoods
atmospheric deflagration and stabilized flames which can
residues
burn for very long time on the flame arrester element surface,
so called endurance burning. Main application area is on suc- • maintenance friendly design
tion and vent lines, with the goal to prevent flame transmission
caused by endurance burning or atmospheric deflagration from
propagating into the vessel or plant.
Design Types and Specifications
The BE/HR-400 consists of a housing (1), a weather hood (2)
There are two different designs:
and the PROTEGO® flame arrester unit (3). During normal
operation, the metal weather hood is in a closed position. If a End-of-line deflagration flame arrester, basic BE/HR - –
stabilized flame burns on the flame arrester element surface, design
the fusible link, located in a center position, will melt and an ex-
ternal counterweight will move the weather hood into the open End-of-line deflagration flame arrester with BE/HR - R
position. The flame arrester unit consists of two FLAMEFILTER® heating coil
(4), which are installed in a FLAMEFILTER® cage. The FLAME- Special designs available on request

Function and Description
The E/H0 vent cap allows vessels which are not pressurized to Vent cap, basic design EH/0

line. The EH/0 vent cap is not flame transmission proof. It is
often used in combination with detonation flame arresters, when
those are used in vent lines, installed at a position which creates
a long run up distance from the end of the vent line to prevent
endurance burning. The EH/0 vent cap will then be installed at
the end of that vent line to prevent particles or rain from entering
the line.
