Introduction
Purpose and intended audience of this article
This article is aimed at engineers and safety managers who have issues or concerns about temperature control at sites where there is a risk of explosion. It explains everything from the basics of pressure-resistant explosion proof radiation thermometer to how to choose and key points for their introduction.
The importance of temperature control in areas with explosion risks
In industrial settings, temperature control errors in the presence of flammable gases and liquid vapors can lead to serious accidents. Strict temperature monitoring and control are important to prevent this.
Basic knowledge of explosion proof environments and radiation thermometer
Explosion proof area background
Hazardous areas are classified into special hazardous areas (Zone 0), Class 1 hazardous areas (Zone 1), and Class 2 hazardous areas (Zone 2) depending on the frequency of the explosive atmosphere, and explosion proof equipment suitable for each zone is required.
Advantages of radiation thermometer
- Non-contact measurement: Measurements can be made without directly touching high temperatures or operating equipment.
- high-speed response: Rapid response to temperature changes.
- Compatible with a wide range of objects: Temperature measurement of a variety of objects is possible.
Key points for selecting a pressure-explosion proof radiation thermometer
Differences in explosion proof structure
- Explosion-explosion proof: A method of containing an internal explosion within a container.
- Intrinsically safe explosion proof: structure that limits the amount of applied electricity and fundamentally prevents fire.
Required authentication and check points
For domestic use, products must pass the certification of the Technology Institution of Industrial Safety (TIIS). Check the product's model display and select a product that suits your application.
Measurement method and installation type
- Fixed-point type: For continuous monitoring.
- Included accessories: sealing window and air purge hood for added protection.
Features and applications of pressure-resistant explosion proof radiation thermometer
Main areas of support
- Semiconductor manufacturing equipment (CVD equipment, etc.)
- Chemical plants (reactors, process lines)
- Oil refinery facilities (incinerators, storage tank furnaces)
Temperature Measurement Range
Clarify the range of temperatures to be measured from the lowest to the highest, and select a model that corresponds to that range.
Key points for on-site implementation and the importance of maintenance
Model selection
Select a product that meets the temperature range and explosion proof certification required for your environment.
Operational Points
- Consideration of installation location: Observe the thermometer's durability conditions.
- Maintenance plan: Regularly clean and calibrate sight path.
Ensure safe and efficient operations through abnormality response and record analysis.
Summary
Explosion explosion proof radiation thermometer are essential for temperature control in environments where there is a risk of explosion. By considering explosion proof certification and performance, introducing suitable products, and performing regular maintenance, you can ensure long-term safety and efficiency.
