Deflagration = Explosion propagating at subsonic velocity

Detonation = Explosion propagating at supersonic velocity and characterized by a shock wave.

Flame propagation is stopped through used liquid.

Inline Liquid Product Detonation Flame Arrester prevents light-back at deflagration and stable detonation of potentially explosive vapor-air, and or gas-air mixtures in a pipe that is located upstream of the ignition source.



Liquid Product – Inline Detonation Flame Arrester: Explanation

Deflagration = Explosion propagating at subsonic velocity

Detonation = Explosion propagating at supersonic velocity and characterized by a shock wave.

Flame arrester in which the liquid product is used as a flame arresting medium, in order to prevent flame transmission of a detonation or deflagration.

If the supply line to the storage tank is not constantly filled with product, an ignitable mixture can accrue. In case of ignition, the inline liquid product detonation flame arrester is approved to stop the flame propagation.

The inline liquid product detonation flame arrester is only usable for filling applications and works after total filling with the actual used liquid product for storage or transport.
A usage for e. g. siphoning is not permitted. Sucking off the liquid buffer means loosing the flame protective function!
It is to ensure, that the inline liquid product detonation flame arrester always remains filled.
