Flame arrestors consist of a series of small, closely spaced metal plates called baffles. The primary function of baffle and associated pollutants from storm water. Baffle to capture larger materials, trash, and floatables. a calming baffles are perforated baffles typically installed downstream of the inlet device in horizontal 3 phase (gas/liquid/liquid) or 2 phase (liquid/liquid) separators covering the entire liquid section. The horizontal screen sits above the standing water level in. A baffle box is a structure containing internal walls, known as baffles, engineered to manage the flow of a fluid, which can be a liquid or a gas. This structure is designed to significantly reduce the velocity of the fluid moving through it.
