Explosion-proof air compressor usually refers to the whole machine explosion-proof that is, all parts including motors, pipes, containers, etc. must meet explosion-proof standards, not just motor explosion-proof. The following is a detailed explanation of the explosion-proof air compressor:
definition of 1. explosion-proof air compressor
explosion-proof air compressor is an air compressor used in dangerous gas places such as explosives, flammable gas and steam, which can compress air safely and reliably. Its core design goal is not to cause explosion or fire in flammable and explosive environments.
Explosion-proof Measures of 2. Explosion-proof Air Compressor
- explosion-proof enclosure: The shell made of reinforced material can withstand the explosion pressure that may occur inside without breaking, so as to limit the internal explosion pressure within the equipment and avoid affecting the outside world.
- Explosion-proof motor: Use an explosion-proof motor as the power source. This motor has the functions of explosion-proof, fire-proof, and waterproof, and can operate safely in flammable and explosive environments. Explosion-proof motor through special design, such as the installation of explosion-proof cover, actuators and controllers, etc., effectively prevent the motor because of internal factors or the impact of the external environment and fire, explosion and other accidents.
- Multiple protective measures: In addition to the explosion-proof housing and explosion-proof motor, the explosion-proof air compressor is also equipped with a control system, air filter, overheating protection and other measures to ensure the stable operation of the equipment. For example, through the temperature test to ensure that the surface temperature of the equipment does not exceed the T group of equipment calibration, to prevent the explosion caused by high temperature; through the spark test to ensure that the equipment does not ignite explosive mixtures under fault conditions.
- oil-free water lubrication technology some explosion-proof air compressors adopt oil-free water lubrication technology, and the screw host only needs water as the lubricating medium, which fundamentally avoids the possibility of flammable and explosive materials such as carbon deposits generated by lubricating oil during the operation of the air compressor.
- Stainless steel pipe the main components of the pipeline are all made of stainless steel, as well as custom seamless pipes, which greatly reduces the possibility of leakage and explosion of compressed air during transportation.
Application Scenarios of 3. Explosion-proof Air Compressor
explosion-proof air compressors are widely used in coal mines, oil fields, chemicals, gas, airports, ships and other flammable and explosive occasions. These industries have extremely high requirements for safe production, and any small safety hazard may cause serious safety accidents. Therefore, in these occasions, the use of explosion-proof air compressor is a necessary measure to ensure the safe operation of equipment and the safety of life and property.
