How should explosion-proof cabinets be installed and used correctly?

Thread Content

Many people think that explosion-proof cabinets are inherently explosion-proof, and some people install them without reading the instructions, using them right away. Some people install explosion-proof cabinets casually for surprise inspections, which is extremely dangerous and prone to causing safety accidents. When installing explosion-proof cabinets, it is necessary to take into account various factors such as the installation location, the surrounding environment, and the installation method, and to carry out the installation based on the actual conditions, so as to achieve the highest level of safety protection. Requirements for the installation and use of explosion-proof cabinets: 1. The floor on which the explosion-proof safety cabinet is placed should be level. 2. If multiple explosion-proof safety cabinets are placed together, the distance between each cabinet should be no less than 15 centimeters. 3. The location where the explosion-proof safety cabinet is placed should be far away from sources of fire or other instruments and equipment that generate heat, as well as from splashing chemical liquids or slag. 4. There is an electrostatic grounding terminal at the lower corner of the left outer wall of the cabinet; once the cabinet is properly installed, an electrostatic grounding wire should be connected to it in order to promptly discharge the static electricity accumulated within the cabinet. 5. The items placed on the cabinet shelves should not exceed the load-bearing capacity of those shelves. If the shelf has multiple layers, when placing items, larger or heavier items should be placed on the lower layers, while smaller or lighter items should be placed on the upper layers. 6. If the explosion-proof safety cabinet is placed in a confined space, or if the location where the cabinet is situated has strict restrictions on the evaporation of flammable liquids, then an exhaust system should be connected to the ventilation openings of the cabinet in order to remove the flammable liquids that accumulate inside as a result of evaporation. 7. At night or in conditions of poor lighting, if it is necessary to place items inside the cabinet or perform other operations, the surrounding lights should be turned on, or an explosion-proof flashlight should be used for such tasks. 8. It is strictly prohibited to light candles, alcohol lamps, or use lighters or any other devices that could cause combustion or explosion near the cabinet. 9. Smoking, throwing lit fireworks, or discarding other burning objects is strictly prohibited in areas where cabinets are stored. 10. After the door is opened, make sure to close and lock it; it is strictly prohibited to leave the cabinet door open for long periods to prevent sources of fire from entering the cabinet. 11. Be careful to protect any door locks installed on the cabinet to prevent them from being struck or otherwise damaged. 12. Be sure to take care of the cabinet in daily use, preventing collisions, scratches, or splashing of corrosive chemical liquids on it, so as to avoid damaging the cabinet or its coating.
