防爆环境的划分:
爆炸性环境:在大气条件下,可燃性物质以气体、蒸汽、粉尘、纤维或飞絮的形式与空气形成的混合物,被点燃后,能够保持燃烧自行传播的环境。
爆炸性气体环境:在大气条件下,可燃性物质以气体或蒸汽的形式与空气形成的混合物,被点燃后,能够保持燃烧自行传播的环境。
根据爆炸性气体环境出现的频次和持续时间把危险场所分为0区、1区、2区。
0区:爆炸性气体环境连续出现或频繁出现或长时间存在的场所。
1区:正常运行时,可能偶尔出现爆炸性气体环境的场所。
2区:在正常运行中,不可能出现爆炸性气体环境,如果出现,仅是短时间存在的场所。
同样的,对于粉尘环境中,也分为了20区、21区、22区
20区:在正常运行过程中可燃性粉尘连续出现或经常出现,其数量足以形成可燃性粉尘与空气混合物和/或可能形成无法控制和极厚的粉尘层的场所及容器内部。
21区:在正常运行过程中,可能出现粉尘数量足以形成可燃性粉尘与空气混合物但未划入20区的场所,该区域包括与充入或排放粉尘点直接相邻的场所。
22区:在异常情况下,可燃性粉尘云偶尔出现并且只是短时间存在或可燃性粉尘偶尔出现堆积或可能存在粉尘层并且产生可燃性粉尘空气混合物的场所。
Understanding of explosion-proof environment
Understanding of explosion-proof environment
Explosive environment: Under atmospheric conditions, a mixture of flammable substances and air in the form of gas, steam, dust, fibers, or fly floes, after being ignited, can maintain an environment in which combustion propagates on its own.
Explosive gas environment: Under atmospheric conditions, a mixture of flammable substances in the form of gas or steam and air, after being ignited, can maintain an environment in which combustion propagates spontaneously.
According to the frequency and duration of explosive gas environment, the hazardous locations are divided into Zone 0, Zone 1, and Zone 2.
Zone 0: A place where explosive gas environment appears continuously or frequently or exists for a long time.
Zone 1: A place where an explosive gas environment may occasionally occur during normal operation.
Zone 2: In normal operation, there is no possibility of an explosive gas environment. If it occurs, it is only a place where it exists for a short time.
Similarly, in the dust environment, it is also divided into 20 zones, 21 zones, and 22 zones
Zone 20: Combustible dust appears continuously or frequently during normal operation, the amount of which is sufficient to form a mixture of combustible dust and air and / or may form an uncontrollable and extremely thick layer of dust and inside the container.
Zone 21: During normal operation, there may be places where the amount of dust is sufficient to form a mixture of combustible dust and air, but it is not zoned into zone 20. This zone includes places directly adjacent to the points where the dust is charged or discharged.
Zone 22: Under unusual circumstances, flammable dust clouds occasionally appear and only exist for a short time or flammable dust occasionally accumulates or there may be a dust layer and a flammable dust air mixture is generated.
