Vgrajena oprema za elektrostatični nanos gorljivega prahu za prevleke - Varnostne zahteve

Ta evropski standard opredeljuje zahteve za vgrajeno opremo za elektrostatični nanos gorljivega prahu za prevleke za uporabo v eksplozivnih atmosferah, ustvarjenih z njegovim lastnim oblakom razpršila.  Razlikujemo med razpršilnimi sistemi, ki ustrezajo EN 50050:2001, in razpršilnimi sistemi, oblikovanimi za višje pretočne energije in/ali tokove. Do vžiga gorljivega prahu za prevleke lahko pride z uporabo visoke napetosti ali na triboelektrični način. Ta evropski standard prav tako opredeljuje oblikovne zahteve za varno delovanje vgrajene opreme, vključno z njeno električno napeljavo. Ta evropski standard upošteva tri tipe elektrostatičnih razpršilnih sistemov; za več podrobnosti glej točko 5.1. Ta evropski standard obravnava vse nevarnosti, značilne za elektrostatično razprševanje prevlek, ki lahko vsebuje tudi manjše količine dodanih kovinskih delcev, če je delo izvedeno pod pogoji po priporočilu proizvajalca. Zlasti to vključuje nevarnost vžiga, ki izhaja iz ustvarjene eksplozivne atmosfere, in varovanje oseb pred električnimi šoki. Ta vgrajena oprema je razvrščena kot oprema skupine II, kategorije 2D ali kategorije 3D za uporabo na potencialno eksplozivnih območjih cone 21 oziroma 22.

Stationary electrostatic application equipment for ignitable flock material - Safety requirements
SIST EN 50223:2015

1.1 This European Standard specifies requirements for automatic electrostatic flock application equipment which is designed for applying ignitable flock which may form explosive atmospheres in the flock application area. In this context a distinction is made between flock application devices which due to their type of construction comply with the requirements as laid down in EN 50050-3, as applicable, and those for which higher discharge energies are stipulated. This European Standard also specifies the constructional requirements for a safe operation of the stationary equipment of flock application booths, including the electrical installations and the accessories. This European Standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to flock application booths, when they are used as intended and under conditions which are foreseeable as malfunction by the manufacturer (see Clause 4). 1.2 This European Standard considers three types of electrostatic flock systems. For more details, see Table 1. 1.3 This European Standard deals with those hazards occurring during stationary automatic electrostatic flocking. Among these hazards are, above all, ignition hazards of the generated explosive atmosphere and hazard to persons. 1.4 The stationary equipment dealt with in this European Standard is considered to be equipment of group II, category 3D for the use in areas with potential explosion hazards of zone 22. 1.5 This European Standard is not applicable for - flock systems in which mixtures of solvent vapours in air occur with a concentration of > 20 % of the LEL, - flock systems operated with AC voltage, - the application system for liquid or pasty substances (e.g. adhesives, primer), - the cleaning of flock application booths, - the storage and handling of ignitable substances outside the coating plant.
