粉塵爆発防止における防爆ファンの役割を理解する

The primary function of explosion-proof fans is not to prevent the fan itself from exploding, but rather to safeguard against dust explosions in production settings. In certain industries, the production process generates flammable and explosive dust and materials, such as metal and coal dust. To control these hazardous particles, exhaust systems are commonly employed for extraction and collection.

In such scenarios, the occurrence of friction and sparks in a fan could pose a significant risk. Hence, the imperative need for explosion-proof fans. These fans undergo specialized treatment, featuring materials distinct from regular fans, to ensure enhanced safety in these high-risk environments.
