WHY YOU NEED OUR SERVICES
IF YOU OPERATE ENGINES IN A POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE, YOU NEED ATEX PROTECTION
Below are hazards present on an unprotected Engine in a potentially explosive atmosphere.
Control Equipment
Any unprotected electronic and electrical equipment can create dangerous sparks and ignite a hazardous environment.
Rotating Parts
Other rotating parts can create mechanically generated sparks or can even build up static charges, such as the drive belt.
Exhaust
Unburnt particles can create sparks or even a flame at the exhaust, which could instantly ignite an explosive atmosphere.
Hot Spots
Surface temperatures of engines and generators are well over the ignition temperatures of explosive gasses.
Starter Motor
The starter motor creates sparks in normal operation and will ignite a hazardous atmosphere.
Alternator
The alternator creates sparks in normal operation and will ignite a hazardous atmosphere.
Sensors and Accessories
Various sensors and accessories such as diagnostic plugs can cause dangerous electrical sparks and ignite an explosive environment.
