Definitions

  • the invention relates to a flame arresting component according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a flame arrestor assembly may comprise at least two flame arresting elements arranged one behind the other in the direction of flow of a combustible gas such that, in use, the combustible gas passes sequentially through the flame arresting elements having a plurality of gaps for extinguishing a flame impinging on the surface of a flame arrester element, at least one of the spacers between the flame barrier elements is arranged to effect a clearance between adjacent flame barrier elements.
  • flame arrester To protect against explosions, detonations and continuous fires flame arresters are used with a so-called flame arrester, which prevents the propagation of flames from explosions, detonations or permanent fires and thus flame blowouts.
  • flame arresters There are a variety of different designs of flame arresters known, which can be classified essentially in the category of static dry, static wet and dynamic flame arresters.
  • Such flame arresters can be designed as narrow mesh screens, plate fuses, sintered metals, pebbles and as so-called tape backups. It is essential that the selected for securing column of the flame arrester can be reproducibly kept within very narrow tolerance ranges. Therefore, nowadays tape backups are mainly used, which are manufactured by winding each of a smooth and a corrugated band.
  • the corrugated strip is provided with straight or left or right oblique corrugations defining the gap width. This is in the range of 0.2 to max. 1.5 mm depending on the explosion mixture.
  • two, three or more retaining washers are combined as flame arresting elements, optionally in combination with an encircling cage, to increase the mechanical strength to a complete flame arrestor.
  • a flame arrester is disclosed, for example, in EP 0 375 455 A2. It is a flame arrester with flame arrester shown consisting of four a direction of flow of a combustible gas behind one another arranged flame arresting elements. Between the individual flame arresting elements narrow spaces are provided which provide an expansion zone for the gas in the gaps and to a turbulent flow of the Lead gas. The spaces are caused by spacers between the flame barrier elements.
  • US Pat. No. 5,415,233 describes a generic flame arrester component and a flame arrestor arrangement with a plurality of flame arresting elements arranged one behind the other in the direction of flow of a combustible gas. Spacer elements are loosely inserted between the individual flame arrestor elements.
  • FR 1 373 802 A discloses a flame arrestor having a flame arrestor having a plurality of gaps for extinguishing a flame impinging on the surface of the flame arrester.
  • An annular collar rigidly connects a side surface of the flame arrester with a spacer when the flame arresting elements are installed in the flame arrestor.
  • US Pat. No. 5,203,296 A discloses a flame barrier arrangement with a spirally wound sheet metal strip extending in the flow direction. Spacers in the form of nubs are provided between the individual sheets, which hold the portions of the one-piece flame arrester at a distance to each other.
  • the conventional spacers are loosely sandwiched between the flame arresting elements during assembly of a multi-layered flame arrester.
  • the spacer elements are in this case formed for example of a closed triangular or polygonal or loop-like wire ring.
  • the conventional spacers offer only insufficient mechanical strength.
  • the relatively expensive flame arrestor elements can be light be destroyed.
  • the flame arresters are deformed using conventional spacers, thereby reducing the space between adjacent flame filter elements.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide an improved generic flame arrester.
  • a flame arrestor component with the features of the main claim, characterized in that a spacer element is at least selectively welded to the surface of the flame arrestor element.
  • connection of the spacer elements takes place in the spot welding process, so that the surface of the flame barrier element available for the passage of gas and liquid is not unnecessarily reduced.
  • the spacers are preferably shaped so as to form support points distributed over the entire surface of the corresponding band securing element, so that a deflection of the bandages under pressure loading is prevented.
  • the conventional spacer elements provide only unevenly distributed bearing surfaces, which also provide support points partly only in the outer peripheral region of the flame barrier elements.
  • the spacer may be used for this purpose e.g. be grid-shaped.
  • the spacers may be formed of wire mesh, wire mesh and / or round rods.
  • FIG. 1 shows a flame arrester 1 with three flame barrier elements 2a, 2b, 2c arranged one after the other in the direction of flow of a combustible gas, which are installed in a surrounding cage 3.
  • the enclosure cage 3 is in two parts, so that the flame barrier elements 2a, 2b, 2c can be easily mounted and later dismantled for replacement and cleaning.
  • the two parts of the encircling cage 3 are held together by a screw 4.
  • FIG. 2 shows a cross-sectional view of a flame barrier component with a flame barrier element 2, on the surface of which a spacer element is arranged.
  • the spacer element 5 is fixedly connected to the surface of the flame barrier element 2, preferably by spot welding connections 6. In this way, the flame arrestor is stabilized and mechanical damage during disassembly or cleaning as well as deformation of the flame arresting member upon impact of a detonation wave is prevented.
  • FIG. 3 shows the flame arresting component from FIG. 2 in plan view.
  • the spacer element 2 consists of a plurality of parallel rods, which are arranged at a distance from one another and uniformly distributed over the entire surface of the flame barrier element 2 support points for an adjacent flame arrester component.
  • a deflection of the flame arresting element 2 is effectively prevented under pressure load, in particular when hitting a detonation wave.
  • FIG. 4 shows an advantageous embodiment of a spacer element 2, which is formed from a wire mesh. At the crossing points of the wire mesh, the spacer element 5 is spot-welded to the associated flame arresting element 2, as can be seen from the cross-sectional views of FIGS. 5 and 6.
  • FIG. 7 shows a plan view of a flame barrier element 2 with the wire-shaped spacer element 5, which has a spot-welded connection 6 with the flame barrier element 2 uniformly at every second intersection point.
  • FIG. 8 shows a flame arresting element 2 in the embodiment of a tape securing element in the cutout as a top view.
  • the band securing element is made of a smooth band 7 and an overlying ribbed Band 8 formed, which are spirally wound.
  • the smooth belt 7 and the corrugated belt 8 are usually about 10 mm wide.
  • the corrugation in the corrugated band 8 defines the columns.
  • the gap width SW is in the range of less than 0.2 mm to a maximum of 1.5 mm, depending on the medium for which the band securing element is designed.
  • FIG. 9 shows a conventional flame arrester 1 with three flame arresting elements 2a, 2b and 2c arranged one behind the other in the direction of flow of a combustible gas, which are installed in a surrounding cage 3.
  • the spacer elements 5 are loosely inserted between the flame arresting elements 2a, 2b and 2c and lie only unevenly on the surface of the corresponding flame arresting element 2a, 2b or 2c.
  • FIG. 10 shows an embodiment of a conventional triangular spacer element 9 which is inserted loosely between the flame barrier elements 2. From the cross-sectional illustration it can be seen that the spacer element 9 is formed from a round wire.
  • FIG. 11 shows another embodiment of a conventional loop-shaped spacer element 10, which is likewise inserted loosely between the flame barrier elements 2 and rests unevenly on the surface of the corresponding flame barrier element 2.
  • the cross-sectional representation shows that the spacer element 10 is likewise formed from a round wire and the support surface is distributed unevenly in cross-section on the surface of the corresponding flame barrier element 2.
  • the stability of the flame arrestor component is increased and ensures a constant gap between the adjoining flame arrestor components even under pressure load.
