Flame Arresters

Combustion Research Associates offer Flame Arresters. It consists of housing, flame element, connections and optional accessories such as thermal shut off value, drains valve, differential pressure alarm system, etc. The housing mainly comprises of low Copper Aluminum, Cast Iron, Stainless Steel, and other materials. The flame element is made up of SS316, SS304, Aluminum, and Copper. The size ranges from ?? to 12? (6mm to 300 mm). The pressure rating is 5 - 10 bar (standard). It is used for preventing flash back in the process lines, fuel lines, storage tanks having potential risk of accidental flame flash back. Flame arresters block the propagation of flame by quenching the flame passing through it. The heat of flame is absorbed by the flame element where very high surface area is provided for immediate heat transfer. It has no moving parts and the custom designed flame element gives the necessary protection from flame flash back. While the flame propagation is blocked through the flame elements, the gases can pass through them easily having minimum pressure drop. This is ensured by having large flow area available to gases in the flame bank. It is easy to maintain and economical. Different types of Flame Arresters, such as Deflagration Arrester, Detonation Arrester, In Line Flame Arrester and End of Line Flame Arresters are available. Applications: Vapour Recovery Lines, Combustible Gas Lines of Low-High Calorific Value Gas, Fuel Gas Lines, Purge Lines, Compressors, Waste Treatment Plants, Flare Systems, Burners, Incinerators, Biogas Lines, Storage Tanks, Engines, Chemical, Petrochemical Plants, Gas trains, Pulp & Paper, Food & Beverage, Process Industry, Adhesives, Resins, Paints & Automobile Industries.
