EN 14986:2007

Design of fans working in potentially explosive atmospheres

1.1   This European Standard specifies the constructional requirements for fans constructed to Group II G (of explosion groups IIA, IIB and hydrogen) categories 1, 2 and 3, and Group II D categories 2 and 3, intended for use in explosive atmospheres.
NOTE   Operation conditions for the different categories of fans used in this European Standard are defined in Clause 4.
1.2   This European Standard does not apply to group I fans (fans for mining), cooling fans or impellers on rotating electrical machines, cooling fans or impellers on internal combustion engines.
NOTE 1   Requirements for group I fans are given in EN 1710.
NOTE 2   The requirements for electrical parts are covered by references to electrical equipment standards.
1.3   This European Standard specifies requirements for design, construction, testing and marking of complete fan units intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres in air containing gas, vapour, mist and/or dusts. Such atmospheres may exist inside (the conveyed fluid), outside, or inside and outside of the fan.
1.4   This European Standard is applicable to fans working in the range of ambient atmospheres having absolute pressures ranging from 0,8 bar to 1,1 bar, temperatures ranging from  20 °C to  60 °C, maximum volume fraction of 21 % oxygen content and an aerodynamic energy increase of less than 25 kJ/kg.
NOTE 1   This European Standard may also be helpful for the design, construction, testing and marking of fans intended for use in atmospheres outside the validity range stated above or in cases where other material pairings need to be used. In this case, the ignition risk assessment, ignition protection provided, additional testing (if necessary), manufacturer's marking, technical documentation and instructions to the user, should clearly demonstrate and indicate the equipment's suitability for the conditions the fan may encounter.
NOTE 2   This European Standard does not apply to integral fans of electric motors.

Konstruktion von Ventilatoren für den Einsatz in explosionsgefährdeten Bereichen

Diese Norm legt die baulichen Anforderungen an Ventilatoren der Gruppe II G Kategorien 1, 2 und 3, und Gruppe II D Kategorien 2 und 3 für die Verwendung in explosionsfähigen Atmosphären fest.
Betriebsbedingungen für die verschiedenen Kategorien von Ventilatoren, die von dieser Norm erfasst werden, sind in Abschnitt 4 definiert.
Diese Norm ist nicht anwendbar auf Ventilatoren für die Verwendung im Zusammenhang mit Gasen der Gruppe II C, die im Anhang zu EN 50014 verzeichnet sind.
Diese Norm ist nicht anwendbar auf Gruppe I Ventilatoren (Ventilatoren für den Bergbau), Kühlgebläse oder Flügelräder für drehende elektrische Maschinen, Kühlgebläse oder Flügelräder für Verbrennungsmotoren .
ANMERKUNG 1   Anforderung an Gruppe I Ventilatoren sind in EN 1710 enthalten.
Diese Norm legt Anforderungen an Konstruktion, Bau, Prüfung und Kennzeichnung kompletter Ventilator-Einheiten fest, die für den Einsatz in explosionsfähiger Atmosphäre, die durch Gase, Dämpfe, Nebel und/oder Staub entsteht, bestimmt sind. Solche Atmosphären können innerhalb, außerhalb, oder innerhalb und außerhalb des Ventilators existieren.
Diese Norm gilt für Ventilatoren, die in umgebenden Atmosphären mit einem absoluten Druck von 0,8 bar bis 1,1 bar, Temperaturen von - 20 °C bis + 60 °C und maximal 21 % Volumenanteil Sauerstoff bei einer  aerodynamischen Energie-Zunahme von weniger als 25 kJ/kg arbeiten.
ANMERKUNG 2   Diese Norm kann auch hilfreich sein für Konstruktion, Bau, Prüfung und Kennzeichnung von Ventilatoren, die für den Einsatz in Atmosphären bestimmt sind, die nicht in den Gültigkeitsbereich dieser Norm fallen. In diesem Fall sollte durch Bewertung des Zündrisikos, der vorgeschlagenen Zündschutzart, der zusätzlichen Prüfung (falls erforderlich), der Hersteller-Kennzeichnung, der technischen Dokumentation und Betriebsanweisungen dem Benutzer die Eignung der Ventilatoren eindeutig dargestellt und nachgewiesen werden.
