Explosion-proof luminaire is intended for
lighting warehouse, industrial, fire and explosion hazardous premises, oil loading platforms,
gas stations and other places. It has a lot of distinctive features, in particular a tight connection of parts. The shell of the device is so strong that it can withstand the sharp increase in internal pressure that occurs when the light source is destroyed. The design features of the luminaire provide a lower gas
ignition temperature . The thermal regime of the device is such that the temperature of the external parts does not exceed the permissible norm.
An explosion-proof lamp is a special device that is designed to illuminate potentially explosive objects and areas.
Application areaExplosion-proof luminaire must be used in areas where there is an increased explosion hazard. This may apply to places of oil refining, chemical and other industries, places of blasting, factories for the production of varnishes and paints, landfills. Typically, such facilities have high security requirements, which is why companies are forced to purchase specific equipment. It is lighting devices that allow people to feel warmth and safety, which ensures high-quality tone even in the most difficult conditions of activity. That is why you should carefully choose an explosion-proof lamp.
Hardware Features
What allows these devices to function where conventional industrial lighting fixtures are completely unsuitable? Explosion-proof lamps, unlike ordinary ones, have high-quality protection against mechanical damage in the form of a hardened housing. Their design involves the most tight connection of parts, since the devices must cope with the increase in pressure inside that occurs when the lamp fails. The design features of this solution make it possible to provide a significantly lower gas ignition temperature. Philips luminaires are equipped with such electrical wiring, which is conducted through special casings, which minimizes the possibility of explosion if a short circuit occurs in the wire.
The lamp housing is made of polycarbonate, and
sheet steel is used for the reflector
. Only in this way can employees of the enterprise be protected as much as possible.
Explosion-proof luminaire must be used as prescribed by safety requirements. Very often, such devices can not only ensure the safety of the employee, but also save his life. The use of this type of device in production guarantees not only full compliance with safety requirements, a guarantee of saving the lives of workers, but also excellent lighting of premises, which is important to ensure the conditions for the efficient operation of enterprise workers.
