Protego Eccentric In-Line Detonation Flame Arrester DA-E

The Protego DA-E Series is an eccentric in-line detonation flame arrester designed to prevent stable detonations and deflagrations in piping systems. Its eccentric housing helps drain condensate naturally, making it ideal for installation near ground level or in systems prone to liquid accumulation. It offers bi-directional protection and a modular flame arrester unit composed of multiple FLAMEFILTER® discs and spacers. The unit is engineered for maximum safety across explosion groups IIA and IIB3.

Eccentric design drains condensate

Bi-directional detonation protection

Modular, easy-maintenance construction

Certifications:

Certifications ATEX compliant, EN ISO 16852

Connection:

Flanges per EN 1092-1 Form B1 ASME B16.5 CL 150 RF (others on request)

Used across chemical, petrochemical, gas, biogas, and liquid fuel systems, especially where condensate build-up is likely or where piping runs near ground level. It’s ideal for inline safety in vapour handling systems where stable detonation protection is a must.

Suitable for flammable vapours and gases in explosion groups IIA and IIB3 with MESG values ≥ 0.65 mm. It offers flame suppression even in the event of stable detonations or short-term burn-back conditions.

Prevents flame propagation from stable detonations and deflagrations

Self-draining due to eccentric body design

Designed for installation in tight spaces or near ground level

Modular disc unit for customized flame suppression

Spare parts are cost-effective and field-replaceable

Compatible with integrated temperature sensors

One or two integrated temperature sensors

Special material configurations:

FLAMEFILTER®: Stainless Steel, Hastelloy, Tantalum, Inconel, Copper

Housing: Steel, Stainless Steel, Hastelloy, with ECTFE coating available
