Hazardous Area protection
In refineries and chemical factories it is common practice that analyser shelters are situated in the hazardous EX zone. The reason is that analyser sample lines should be as short as possible. Nowadays the regulations regarding ATEX certifications is very strict. Due to the complexity of process analysers, it is not always possible to offer al components EX i or EX-d certified. Ex p is an option.
Every single analyser system should be certified by a Certified Body. For these reasons ODS BV builds these analysers in an Ex p cabinet. Using compressed air and a dedicated purge controller, the complete cabinet is kept under overpressure conditions. Prior to switching the power on, the complete cabinet and different analyser compartments are flushed during a calculated period.
Special care is taken for:
- Complete Ex p certification documents;
- Purge control and override;
- Cooling of the cabinet via Vortec or a cool compressor;
- Analytical aspects;
- Easy access to the analyser parts for maintenance aspects;
- Detection of Leakage of fluids;
- Water lock;
- Enough space for adding special “tailor made” solutions and components;
- Capability of adding Full EX certified and air operated external analyser parts such as sample conditioning.
