Introduction

Scope of the Manual

This Instruction Manual provides instructions for installation, startup, maintenance and parts ordering information for the Enardo DFA Series detonation

ame arrestor.

Product Description

The Enardo DFA Series detonation ame arrestor represents the best value in ame arrestor protection. The detonation ame arrestor provides protection against ame propagation in piping systems that are manifolded or have long run-up distances. These are typically used for extended pipe length or multiple pipe bend congurations to stop high pressures and ame velocities with detonations and overdriven detonations. It also stops conned and unconned, low and high pressure deagration. The design is unique in the ability to provide large ame channels which requires less frequent maintenance and greater ease in cleaning when service is required, translating to less down time. Enardo DFA Series detonation ame arrestors are bi-directional and proven to stop an ignited ammable

vapor mixture approaching from either direction that can be travelling at subsonic or supersonic velocities. The patented element offers maximum ow to pressure drop characteristics enhancing the value of the ame arrestor in any system.

The Enardo DFA Series is designed with anged

connections, the arrestor provides the option of the

removal of the ame cell element for easy cleaning and replacement without disconnecting the pipe connection.

Principle of Operation

Detonation ame arrestor prevents ame propagation as it enters the exposed side of the unit to the protected side by absorbing and dissipating heat using spiral wound crimped ribbon ame cells. This detonation ame arrestor utilizes an element assembly that dampens the high velocities and pressures associated with deagration and detonations while quenching the ame front. These cells allow maximum ow with maximum protection.

Detonation ame arrestor has the heat capacity and structural design to withstand all dynamic conditions of ame propagation and still stop the ame. Detonation ame arrestor is used when the ame can be in any of the detonation states.

Limits of Use for Detonation/Deagration

Flame Arrestors:

• The following vapors are not within the scope of the products covered by this IOM:

- Explosive mixtures of vapors and gases, which tend to self-decompose (e.g. Acetylene) or which are chemically unstable

- Carbon Disulphide, due to its special properties;

- Mixtures other than gas-air or vapor-air mixtures

(e.g. higher oxygen-nitrogen ratio, chlorine as oxidant, etc.)

• Minimum distance between flame arrestor connection and a restriction on the protected side is 10 L/D, but not less than 3 m.

• Arrestors shall only be installed into piping with a nominal size that is smaller than or equal to the nominal size of the flame arrestor connection.

WARNING

Methanol is classied as a Group-D (IIA)

vapor. However, our lab tests indicate that methanol exhibits characteristics unlike other Group-D (IIA) vapors under certain conditions. We therefore recommend that an arrestor rated for

Group-C (IIB3) vapors be specied for

methanol service.
