Explosion-Proof Fan - Safety Selection Standards for Flammable and Explosive Environments


Explosion-Proof Fan - Safety Selection Standards for Flammable and Explosive Environments

CHA多翼式离心风机

In flammable and explosive environments such as petrochemical plants, coal mines, spray painting workshops, and dust workshops, ordinary fans can generate electrical sparks or mechanical friction sparks during operation that may ignite explosive mixtures, causing serious safety accidents. Explosion-proof fans ensure safe operation in hazardous environments through special design and certification.

Importance of Explosion-Proof Fans

China Explosion-Proof Standard System

  • GB 3836.1-2021: Explosive atmospheres - Part 1: Equipment for explosive atmospheres - General requirements

  • GB 3836.2-2021: Explosive atmospheres - Part 2: Equipment by flameproof enclosure (Ex d)

  • GB 3836.3-2021: Explosive atmospheres - Part 3: Equipment by increased safety (Ex e)

  • GB 12476-2023: Electrical equipment for combustible dust environments

Xinfeng Fan explosion-proof fans are all certified by the National Quality Supervision and Inspection Center for Explosion-Protected Electrical Products (CQST), with explosion-proof mark Ex d IIB T4 Gb / Ex tD A21 IP65 T80°C.

Explosion-Proof Rating Explanation

Gas Explosion-Proof Ratings

RatingMeaningApplicable Environments
Ex d IICCan protect against hydrogen, acetyleneChemical plants, gas stations
Ex d IIBCan protect against ethylene, propaneSpray painting workshops, pharmaceutical plants
Ex d IIACan protect against gasoline, methaneFood factories, warehouses

Dust Explosion-Proof Ratings

RatingMeaningApplicable Environments
Ex tD A21IP6X dust protection, surface temperature ≤80°CFlour mills, coal powder workshops
Ex tD A22IP6X dust protection, surface temperature ≤135°CPlastic granule workshops

Xinfeng Fan provides Ex d IIB T4 Gb and Ex tD A21 B20 T80°C certifications, covering 95%+ of industrial environments.

Core Design of Explosion-Proof Fans

1. Flameproof Enclosure (Ex d)

  • Housing made of HT250 gray cast iron or 304 stainless steel casting

  • Joining surface width ≥25mm, gap ≤0.15mm

  • Pressure test 1.5x working pressure, no deformation or leakage

2. Explosion-Proof Motor

  • YB3 series flameproof three-phase asynchronous motor

  • Protection grade IP55, insulation grade F

  • Temperature rise margin ≥15K, ensuring surface temperature does not exceed T4 group (135°C)

3. Anti-Static Design

  • Impeller and housing insulation treatment, resistance value ≤10⁶Ω

  • Grounding terminal ≥M8, grounding resistance ≤0.1Ω

  • Cable entry device MT type explosion-proof sealing connector

4. Safety Interlock

  • Emergency stop button (IP66 protection)

  • Over-temperature protection (PT100 temperature sensor)

  • Vibration monitoring (amplitude ≥4.5mm shutdown)
