3 Function of thermal spraying equipment
3.1 General
Thermal spraying processes are described and schematically represented in EN 657.
Thermal spraying processes as flame, plasma or HVOF (high velocity oxygen fuel) spraying use inert,
flammable and oxidizing gases which possess a significant potential of danger. Oxygen is considered as a
dangerous gas because hardly inflammable material will burn in the presence of a certain concentration of
oxygen.
Pressurised air, nitrogen, or carbon dioxide (CO ) are applied for cooling the substrate’s surface or the part to
2
be sprayed. Fuel gases and oxygen are used for fusing of sprayed coatings made out of self fluxing alloys.
For such applications, an appropriate and safe supply shall be ensured by gases from manifold cylinder
banks, cryogenic gas tanks or public piping systems (natural gas).
The installation of the gas delivery system, taken in conjunction with control measures, such as gas detection
flow rates, and interlocking of the thermal spray equipment, forms a crucial part of the HAC. The respective
class shall be considered. For details, see CEN/TR 15339-1 and CEN/TR 15339-6.

3.3 Safety related features of gas, liquid fuel, and cooling water supply
— Storage of burnable and inflammable gases.
— Storage of liquid fuels.
— Supply of high pressure gases in the high pressure gas supply system (> 20 bar) running from the
storage to the spraying equipment, e.g. to the gas control cabinet (for details, see EN 15339-2) or to the
stop and control fitting of the torch hose (for details, see CEN/TR 15339-3).
— Supply of liquid fuel from the storage to the control cabinet (for details, see EN 15339-2).
— Supply of oxygen or air for acceleration the combustion of the spray jet.
— Storage, supply and distribution of cooling media for thermal spraying.
4 Potential hazards
For a safe operation and supply of gaseous and liquid fuels, the following hazards shall be considered for
normal operation or foreseeable abnormal circumstances.
— Risk of fire or explosion:
— if leakage occurs on the connections in the piping system;
— if the distance between gas cylinders or bundles of different gases is not appropriate;
— if leakages are produced when changing the connections.
— Risk of over-heating or damage by impairment of ice, snow, direct sunlight to the gas supply.
— Release of gases or liquids under high pressure.
— Impairment of the environment by gases and/or liquids.
— Risk of anoxia in the spray cabin by release of inert gases (e.g. Ar) or CO , if the ventilation is not
2
working, or if the operator enters the cabin before sufficient venting occurred (refer to 5.7)
— Risk and increase of fire by release of oxygen.
— Risk of flashback, if the stop valve or the gas pressure reducing fitting does not operate sufficiently.

3.1 General
Thermal spraying processes are described and schematically represented in EN 657.
Thermal spraying uses flammable gases for flame, plasma or HVOF (high velocity oxygen fuel) spraying
processes, which possess a significant potential of danger. Pure oxygen shall also be considered a dangerous
gas, because also hardly inflammable material will burn in the presence of a certain concentration of oxygen.
Furthermore, pressurised air, nitrogen, or carbon dioxide (CO ) are applied for cooling the substrate’s surface
2
or the part to be sprayed. Likewise, flammable gases and oxygen are used for fusing of sprayed coatings
made out of self fluxing alloys.
For such applications, an appropriate and safe supply shall be ensured by gases from manifold cylinder
banks, cryogenic gas tanks or public piping systems (natural gas). Usually, such supply systems are used for
gas pressure of more than 20 bar.
The installation of the gas delivery system, taken in conjunction with control measures, such as gas detection
and interlocking of the thermal spray equipment, forms a crucial part of the HAC. The respective class shall be
considered. For details, see prEN 15339-1 and prCEN/TR 15339-6.
