Can solenoid valves be used for valves in explosion-proof areas?

2019-04-29View Original

Thread Content

I would like to ask everyone: can electromagnetic shut-off valves be installed in the vinyl chloride workshop? Is there still some danger associated with this? Also, I would like to ask: who knows the cause of the explosion at the Yidong Dongxing Chemical Factory in Zhuozi County on April 24? Thank you all

To answer this question, it is necessary to understand several key points: 1. What are explosion-proof areas and how are they classified?; 2. What are the explosion-proof technologies? ; For Zone 0, intrinsically safe technology is used, while for Zone 1, flameproof technology is used. 3. Solenoid valves can be used in explosion-proof areas, with flameproof solenoid valves being commonly used.

Asco is usually this brand

Pneumatic on/off valve, no solenoid valve required. What else can be used? Reaching the corresponding explosion-proof rating is sufficient.

We are using 220V flameproof solenoid valves. It’s an ammonia storage tank, so it should be usable. It seems there are no intrinsically safe solenoid valves; those things tend to spark

May an electromagnetic shut-off valve be installed in the vinyl chloride workshop? Answer: Of course!~! Is there still some danger associated with this? Answer: There’s no danger in choosing the appropriate explosion-proof rating… By the way, does anyone know the cause of the explosion at the Yidong Dongxing Chemical Factory in Zhuozi County on April 24th? Answer: The authorities have not disclosed it yet; those who truly know the reason have been silenced, and what is circulating online or within certain circles are just rumors. Wait for an official announcement. Additionally, solenoid valves come in two types: intrinsically safe solenoid valves and flameproof solenoid valves. I have used both E*a and Ex d types. Generally speaking, those designed to distinguish between positive and negative voltages are intrinsically safe ones, while those that can be connected arbitrarily are flameproof ones... To avoid problems, a safety barrier, an intrinsically safe cable, and an intrinsically safe solenoid valve are used to form a circuit; even so-called experts won’t be able to find any issues with it……

Thank you very much; it’s best to minimize potential risks as much as possible
