Explosion takes place in the condition ofthe folowing facors: “flammable substances (gas, vapour, mist or dust in a ‘sultable dstibution and concentration + oxygenitrom the alr) + ignion source {An explosive aimosphere occurs ifthe substance-sit mixture lies within a certain concentration range, which is dafined as Explosion Limits. Explosion limits depend on the ambient pressure and oxygen concenivaton of the ai. Explosion Protection In dor to avoid explosions and consequential dangers, the operator ‘must incorporate eflecive explosion protecton precautions into pant. ‘The principle of fll explosion requires that explosion protection ‘meatutes be taken inthe folowing order. + Measure to prevent formation of dangerous explosive aimospheres. + Measure to pravert ignition of dangerous explosive imaspheres. + Measure to restrict the effects of explosion toa safe level Classification of Zones Hazardous areas are classified into Zones, depending on the composi and presence of an explosive atmosphere. This {enables both selection of suitable equipment and appropriato tical instalation. Electrical apparatus for use in hazardous are Signed to various categories. The additional character G (gas) or D (dust) specifies whether the electrical apparatus may be installed in gas or dust hazardous areas.

This moans that the respective values are to be taken into account. The minimum ignition ‘energy Ene (ofa gas-air mixture) is the energy of an electrical spark that is capable of igniting the most eriteal (highest Igntion performance) mixture under defined test conditons. Ignition temperature Ti (of a gas-air mixture) is the lowest temperature of a hot wal surface at which the mixture is ignited after short-term contact. The glow temperature Taw (of a dust layer) is the lowest temperature of a hot surface on which ‘ignition occurs in a mm thick layer of dust.
