In-line flame arresters
July 1st 2008 Designed and made
exclusively for Edwards'
CDX range of chemical dry
vacuum pumps, the latest
in-line flame arresters from
Elmac Technologies make
use of a highly specialised
heat transfer medium which
can be shaped to fit the
small space available in the
suction and discharge
sections of a pump.
Under normal operating
conditions, this medium
allows gas to pass through
the pump with minimal
resistance to flow. However,
in the event that the gas is
ignited within the pump, the
medium extinguishes the
flames, thereby protecting
upstream and downstream
equipment from the
consequences of a
deflagration or detonation.
The CDX pump range
uses the latest screw
pumping technology in a
rugged, non-contacting
design. This allows control
of the pump body or stator
and internal gas
temperatures, enabling a
range of solvents,
flammables and corrosives
in to be pumped. |
