Why should the oil purifier be explosion-proof?

The main reason why oil purifiers need to be explosion-proof is to operate safely in flammable and explosive environments to prevent fire or explosion accidents. The following are the specific reasons:

1. Handling flammable media

- Lubricating oil and hydraulic oil: These oils may volatilize flammable gases under high temperatures or high pressure, which may cause fire or explosion when encountering sparks or high temperatures.

- Transformer oil: Transformer oil used in power equipment may also produce flammable gases at high temperatures.

2. Electrical equipment risks

- Motors and electrical components: Motors and electrical components in oil purifiers may generate sparks or high temperatures during operation, becoming ignition sources.

- Static electricity accumulation: The flow of oil may generate static electricity, which may cause sparks when accumulated to a certain extent.

3. Environmental requirements

- Flammable and explosive environments: In industries such as petroleum, chemical, and mining, flammable gases or dust may exist in the environment, increasing the risk of explosion.

- Confined space: In confined or poorly ventilated spaces, flammable gases are more likely to accumulate, increasing the possibility of explosion.

4. Safety regulations

- Industry standards: Many industries have strict safety standards that require equipment to be explosion-proof.

- Laws and regulations: National and local laws and regulations also require the use of explosion-proof equipment in these environments.

5. Equipment protection

- Extend equipment life: Explosion-proof design not only protects personnel safety but also reduces equipment damage and extends service life.

- Reduce downtime: Explosion-proof equipment can reduce the risk of accidents, reduce downtime, and improve production efficiency.

6. Insurance and liability

- Insurance requirements: Insurance companies may require the use of explosion-proof equipment to reduce risks.

- Liability avoidance: The use of explosion-proof equipment can reduce accident liability and legal disputes.

Explosion-proof design measures

- Explosion-proof motors and electrical components: Use motors and electrical components that meet explosion-proof standards.

- Explosion-proof housing: The equipment housing design meets explosion-proof standards to prevent internal sparks or high temperatures from causing explosions.

- Electrostatic protection: Take electrostatic protection measures such as grounding and electrostatic dissipation devices.

- Temperature control: Equipped with temperature monitoring and control systems to prevent equipment from overheating.

The oil purifier needs to be explosion-proof to operate safely in flammable and explosive environments, prevent fire or explosion accidents, ensure personnel safety and normal operation of equipment, and meet regulatory and industry standard requirements.
