Ceramic battery flame arrestors.

Porvair s sintered metal flame arrestors are used in many process instrument and analytical instrument applications as safety devices for handling combustible gases for gas analysers. Features of porous ceramic flame arrestor vents. Historically ceramic battery vents have been used to vent. Porvair filtration group manufactures a wide range of flame arrestors from sintered metal powder and porous plastics.

These arrestors are manufactured using high quality basis material which is from some of our trusted associates of market. A flame arrestor by itself does not actually extinguish a flame. It merely stops it from progressing into the battery where it can ignite the internal gas and cause the battery to explode. Relying on our wide experience and knowledge in this sector we are counted amongst the top most leading and reputed manufacturers and suppliers of ceramic battery flame arrestors.

Are supplied to world leading lead acid battery manufacturers as vents and flame arrestors. The high thermal conductivity of these flame arrestor cools the flame front or combustion wave by absorbing and dissipating the heat of the flame. Since battery vent caps and flame arrestors are usually made of polypropylene which is flammable if the flame continues to burn eventually the vent cap and flame arrestor will melt. Another application that is increasingly using this principle is the recombination battery used in standby power systems.

Flame arrestors are increasingly fitted above vrla battery vents to prevent this happening. Vyon battery flame arrestors manufactured to suit individual requirements offer an affordable alternative with additional benefits. The potential for explosion within a lead acid battery arises when hydrogen gas created during normal operation reaches a specific hydrogen oxygen concentration. Those flame arresting discs typically 3mm in thickness are usually of a sintered construction of either.

The fitting of a porous ceramic flame arrestor vent can prevent a flame entering the danger zone and due to its inherent strength can also contain the forces of ignition. The fitting of a porous ceramic flame arrestor vent can prevent a flame entering the danger zone and due to its inherent strength can also contain the forces of ignition another application that is increasingly using this principle is the recombination battery used in standby power systems. The devices will extinguish flame fronts traveling in either direction to or from vapor destruction units and or storage facilities.
