Issues with the installation of cabinets at the traditional Chinese medicine extraction site
Thread Content
Dear experts, I have a question regarding the traditional Chinese medicine extraction project: there are some instrument cabinets that need to be installed on-site. These cabinets should be arranged together in a dedicated cabinet room that will remain unattended throughout the year, and this room is required to have a fire resistance rating of more than 3 hours. What standards should this cabinet room comply with? If we only focus on the layout without setting up rooms, can we then ignore the regulations related to instruments? I would appreciate your advice. Thank you!
Does the poster mean to install all the field meters in a field cabinet? Are we still talking about a remote cabinet of the system? If all the field meters are installed in a cabinet on-site, it is recommended that the person in charge avoid doing this. If there are few tables, it doesn’t matter ； If there are too many panels, it becomes difficult to handle piping, installation, and wiring, especially when it comes to maintenance later on. In a factory I used to work at, there was such a cabinet for installing panels on site; every time someone had to work on it, the designer would get criticized from start to finish. The space was limited, and there was no place for tools, making it very hard to carry out the work – which always resulted in frustration. If it is a remote cabinet in a system, it is recommended to refer to the petrochemical specifications. This is my personal opinion for reference only.
