The invention provides an efficient flame retardant device. The efficient flame retardant device is installed between a gas supply end and a client side, and sequentially comprises an electronic check valve, a water type flame retardant mechanism, a dry type flame retardant mechanism and a free radical detection device in the direction from the gas supply end to the client side, and the free radical detection device and the electronic check valve are electrically connected with a controller. According to the efficient flame retardant device, the water type flame retardant mechanism and the dry type flame retardant mechanism are connected in series, lots of free radicals in tempering flames can be eliminated through the dry type flame retardant mechanism, then, cooling is conducted through the water type flame retardant mechanism, and thus, shifting of the tempering flames can be thoroughly avoided; moreover, the front end of the efficient flame retardant device is additionally provided with the free radical detection device which adopts a mode that signals of the free radicals are amplified through copper wires, and then detecting is conducted, and accordingly, the sensitivity of the free radical detection device can be improved. Through the efficient flame retardant device, the flame retardant effect can be well achieved, and the safety of the gas source end is ensured.
