Fire hazard classification of ethylene glycol refrigerators
Thread Content
According to GB50160 for the classification of fire hazards, does an ethylene glycol chiller fall under Category C equipment? But refrigerators also belong to compressors; isn’t the fire hazard classification based on factors other than the refrigerant?
I also want to know that the new project will use ethylene glycol refrigerators as well.
You are located in a separate factory building, right?
Ethylene glycol has a flash point of 110°C and is classified as a Class C medium; therefore, the corresponding equipment is of Class C. I’m not sure what your criteria for classification are?
By using a non-flammable refrigerant, there is no need to consider explosion prevention

It seems to depend on the concentration of the ethylene glycol solution; different concentrations require different requirements. I forgot which standard to check.
