Design of explosion-proof wall for energy storage device in power plant

What is explosion proof/intrinsic safety?

Explosion proof/intrinsic safety are two technologies which guarantee that under no circumstances will equipment emit energy to cause an explosion. The objective of this document is to describe how to do the mechanical and electronic design for electrical/electronic equipment deployed in a hazardous environment.

Is a simple device explosion proof?

A simple device or apparatus does not generate or store more 1.2V or 100mA or 20mJ or 25mW. Such devices are incapable of causing ignition, and need no compliance to explosion proof or intrinsic safety. Explosion proofing is very much a mechanical engineering design.

Why is explosion isolation important in industrial process plants?

Industrial plants involve multiple interconnected pieces of equipment, such as spray driers, cyclones, bag filters, grinders etc. Explosion isolation is an important part of the design of any overall industrial process plant explosion protection system.

Does explosion intensity affect venting efficiency of explosion vent panels?

A test system utilizing hydrogen as the explosion source is constructed, and the opening process is recorded using high-speed cameras. The conclusions are as follows: The venting efficiency of explosion vent panels varies under different explosion intensities. With increasing explosion intensity, the venting efficiency shows a decreasing trend.

What is explosion proofing?

Explosion proofing is very much a mechanical engineering design. Common techniques for implementing explosion proofing are explained below. This method is based on the concept of explosion containment. The ignition source is permitted to come in contact with the hazardous air/gas mixture.

Should explosion isolation barriers be used as primary explosion protection means?

Users of explosion isolation barriers as the primary explosion protection means would be advised to avoid systems that rely only on pressure detection in applications where the downstream consequence of flame propagation is considered significant. 8Indicative estimate based upon the portfolio of expected explosion scenarios.
