Why should we use explosion-proof cameras?

2024-4-11      View:
The initial demand for explosion-proof requirements for electrical equipment came from coal mines, because there is gas under coal mines, which can easily cause explosions or combustion. With the development of industrialization, people's demand for explosion-proof requirements for electrical equipment has expanded to various fields - petroleum, chemical industry, medicine, navigation, aerospace, metallurgy, scientific research and military industry, etc. The demand is even greater, the requirements are different, and the requirements are more targeted. In particular, the rapid development of my country's petrochemical industry has accelerated the development of explosion-proof industrial monitoring products, and a large number of electrical equipment has been used in production. The electrical equipment, safety equipment and lighting fixtures used will inevitably produce sparks, arcs and high temperatures that are allowed under normal circumstances. However, due to factors such as site conditions, the concentration of explosive dangerous mixtures may continue to increase. When a certain concentration is reached, , detonated by the detonation source - electric spark, arc and high temperature, the consequences will be disastrous. Many explosion accidents have occurred in recent years. The more serious explosion accidents include: (2015.8.12) Tianjin Binhai New Area explosion accident, (2016.8.2) Jiangsu Kunshan factory explosion accident, (2017.4.12) Chongqing oil storage tank Explosion accident, (2017.12.10) explosion in the workshop of Jiangsu Lianyungang Chemical Enterprise, etc.


Many industrial enterprises or research departments such as petroleum, chemicals, gunpowder, and natural gas often leak and spill various flammable and explosive gases, liquids, and chemicals during experiments, production, processing, transportation, and storage. Various dusts and fibers, when mixed with air, will become a mixture prone to explosion hazards, and the surrounding areas will also become explosion hazards of varying degrees. When the concentration of explosives reaches the critical point of explosion, serious accidents such as explosions and fires will occur, causing casualties and property losses. Therefore, cameras, electric pan/tilts, junction boxes and other equipment installed in hazardous areas must be explosion-proof. Electrical explosion-proof types can be divided into explosion-proof, intrinsically safe, cast-proof, etc. Most of the explosion-proof cameras currently on the market are explosion-proof, which is the most direct and economical type of explosion-proof. The explosion-proof cameras, explosion-proof high-speed domes, explosion-proof junction boxes and other explosion-proof monitoring equipment produced by Shenzhen Rongfang Company also adopt explosion-proof structures.


So is it necessary to use explosion-proof equipment in all links in the industries we mentioned above? the answer is negative. Front-end equipment is required to use high-level explosion-proof equipment to ensure maximum safety.


What does the front-end equipment include? For example, explosion-proof cameras, explosion-proof dome cameras, explosion-proof junction boxes and other equipment must be installed on site and are considered front-end equipment. The monitoring room can be located in a safe area, so the equipment in the monitoring room can be equipped with conventional equipment, which can effectively reduce costs.


    In high-risk environments, it is best to use explosion-proof products that meet national standards for equipment. Rongfang explosion-proof cameras are widely used in high-risk areas such as petroleum, chemical industry, natural gas, and military industry.
