Power distribution room located in the workshop
Thread Content
A power distribution room is located on the first floor of the workshop, separated by explosion-proof walls! No windows, no holes. There is a door; it meets the requirements! The problem now is that it’s too hot inside the power distribution room; I want to install a exhaust fan there, but the manager says it doesn’t meet the requirements Can exhaust systems be installed in a separately located power distribution room, while they are not allowed in one that is located next to the workshop? I don’t quite understand; could everyone please help?
The power distribution room has no windows, no openings, and no ventilation or air conditioning – how can it meet the requirements? The requirements for ventilation and air conditioning don’t seem to be met; electrical equipment generates a significant amount of heat, so cooling is definitely necessary.
It’s time to open the doors for ventilation – it’s as if the power distribution room isn’t locked! Yes, isn’t it because the management is concerned that flammable and explosive substances might get in there if an exhaust vent is installed?
Opening the door for ventilation isn’t the standard practice, right? Under the high temperatures of summer, can the temperature in the power distribution room meet the requirements of the electrical panels and cabinets? All the substation rooms I have seen are equipped with ventilation and air conditioning.
It’s definitely not up to standard; the key supervisor said that exhaust fans cannot be installed, claiming it doesn’t meet the requirements! I just want to know where such a requirement exists? Have you ever seen exhaust fans installed in a power distribution room located right next to a workshop?
I’m not sure whether the power distribution room on the first floor is completely separated from the explosion-proof workshop by an explosion-proof wall; whether there are any types of passageways between them, and whether they consist of separate fire doors. Ventilation openings are not allowed in the firewall between the power distribution room and the production workshop, but openings can be made in the walls that connect to the workshop, with air conditioning and ventilation systems installed there

The regulations state that when firewalls without doors, windows, or openings are used for separation, structures can be placed adjacent to each other; here, \"adjacent\" also means that the structure above cannot be located in the same area as the workshop. Additionally, if the location of exhaust fans and doors is outside the explosion-hazardous area, there should be no problems. In short, it’s necessary to prevent combustible gases from entering the associated rooms. If doors and windows are located within the explosion-hazardous area, positive pressure ventilation must be used to address this issue.
If you’re sure it’s a blast wall, then this design is overly stringent; a firewall would be sufficient for separation. The doors of the power distribution room can all be opened, and exhaust fans can definitely be installed on the side of those doors.
:Lol, not sure; it might be the firewall!
You can set the ventilation to forced ventilation, with the intake and exhaust openings located on the exterior walls; no doors or windows should be provided in the partition walls separating from the workshop. .
It is not possible to install exhaust fans on the partition wall set up in the workshop. I planned to make a hole in the exterior wall to install one, but the manager didn’t agree either. So I don’t understand. Let me ask everyone
