Claims20
A flameproof protected enclosure system comprising:
- a fluid containing enclosure having an inlet, an outlet, and a flame source disposed therein, the outlet being disposed above a topmost portion of the flame source,
- a fluid level sensor disposed between the flame source and the outlet wherein the fluid level sensor is operatively connected to the flame source and is operative to de-energize the flame source according to a pre-established input,
- and a water barrier entirely surrounding an exposed length of the flame source.
A flameproof protected enclosure system comprising:
- a fluid containing enclosure having an internal fluid chamber, an inlet fluidly coupled to the internal fluid chamber, an outlet fluidly coupled to the internal fluid chamber, and a flame source disposed in the fluid containing enclosure and having an exposed length within the internal fluid chamber, the outlet being disposed above a topmost portion of the flame source, and the inlet being disposed either below the bottommost portion of the flame source or above the topmost portion of the flame source;
- a fluid level sensor disposed between the flame source and the outlet wherein the fluid level sensor is operatively connected to the flame source and is operative to de-energize the flame source according to a pre-established input;
- and
- a water barrier entirely surrounding the exposed length of the flame source.
