Absorption refrigerator flame arrestor system

An ignition containment system for absorption refrigeration units comprising:

• at least a first physical encapsulation barrier comprising a sheet metal material that is of a height specific to an absorption refrigeration system,
• wherein the height is sufficient to substantially encapsulate a burner area of the absorption refrigeration system, and
• wherein at least the first physical encapsulation barrier is removably attached to the absorption refrigeration system and encapsulates the burner area to an extent that the first physical encapsulation barrier contains emissions of a gas or a liquid leaking from a pressure vessel or from refrigerant tubing for circulating refrigerant of the absorption refrigeration system;
• and
• one or more detection devices positioned at or in an area of an ignition source, a decision device, and/or a power switching function that trigger a termination an ignition or power control of the absorption refrigeration system when a threshold amount of an indicator object is detected.
