Can a damper be used on a Flare?

Flares can generate high temperatures on the steel due to radiant heat. Since it is undesirable to have the fluid exceed the boiling point of the water, we must protect the damper from this radiant heat. This is done by putting radiation shields on the damper. These radiant shields act as sacrificial elements which do not allow the flame to have a direct line of sight to the damper.

Flares can generate high temperatures on the steel due to radiant heat. Since it is undesirable to have the fluid exceed the boiling point of the water, we must protect the damper from this radiant heat. This is done by putting “radiation shields” on the damper. These radiant shields act as sacrificial elements which do not allow the flame to have a direct line of sight to the damper.
