Flame-guard filter composed of a number of layer sequences, and arrangements of flame-guard filters and their use

Abstract

The invention relates to flame protection filters (F) consisting of a number of layer sequences (S1, S2, S3), wherein each of the layer sequences (S1, S2, S3) consists of filter layers (1, 2) arranged one on top of the other. Every layer sequence (S1, S2, S3) consists of a first filter layer (1) and a second filter layer (2) made from a material arranged in the shape of a grating with openings (1.1, 2.1) having an opening width (1.11, 2.11) in each instance. The first filter layer (1) having a free lateral surface (6.3) is a first end filter layer (3) with a first end filter opening width (3.11) and the second filter layer (2) having a free lateral surface (6.4) is a second end filter layer (4) with a second end filter opening width (4.11). The second opening width (2.11) of a second filter layer (2) is smaller than the first opening width (1.11) of a first filter layer (1). The second filter layer (2) is opaque. The invention further relates to an arrangement (10) of at least two flame protection filters (F1, F2) and a housing (9) which is encapsulated in a pressure-tight manner and with at least one flame protection filter (F, F1, F2).
