FLASHBACK ARRESTORS
The spring in the flashback arrestor does not allow the backflow of gas
by exerting continuous pressure. So it prevents mixing in the hose and gaining
an explosive property of gasses at low and high pressures.
The flow pressure of gas releasesthe spring pressure exerted on to the
valve and so a continuous gas flow is ensured into the torch. The special
flame backfire guard in the flashback arrestor is made of sintered chrome-nickel
and retains the backflame from the torch.
Thermic valve in the 1030, 1130 and 1231 begins when the flame goes into
the valve and it extinguishes the flame by blocking the gas flow completely.
Thermic Valve: It keeps the gas passage open by means of a pin soldered
in the bed under spring load. When the temperature around the filer reaches
100?C, in case of a gas backfire, the solder fuses and the pin blocks
the gas flow by releasing it self from its bed. From the moment on the
backfire protection valve is no more useful.
