Buying electric motors for hydrogenation plants has always been challenging because of the widely spread hazardous environment that poses risks of high production downtime due to blasts, equipment loss, fire, injury, and death. Electric motors may have sparks because these operate at high temperatures because of long duty cycles. Even a slight spark may cause havoc in the entire unit. Therefore, buying electric motors for hydrogenation plants always needs dependable support from authorized flameproof IE4 motor dealers or the best industrial electric motor dealers.
Every worker should be confident about working in a safe environment. A little extra investment for buying an electric motor for hazardous areas pays you back in multiple ways like the prevention of potential damage, extended shelf life, increased productivity, increased service value, compliance with regulations, compatibility with other explosion-proof equipment, and highly durable and reliable. Explosion and flameproof electric motors specially designed for hydrogenation plants improve production efficiency and quality besides strengthening the workers’ loyalty to the organization.
How to Choose & Buy the Suitable Motors for Hydrogenation Plants
Choosing the suitable electric motor for the hazardous working environment requires you to consider four sets of information: The class; division; group classification of the environment; and the auto ignition temperature of environmental gases or other hazardous materials.
The CEC and the NEC define three classes of hazardous environments based on the material type present in the environment or nearby: gases and vapors; combustible dusts; and, fibers/ filings/flying particles.
Class Description
I Gas and Vapor
II Combustible Dust
III Fiber, Filing, & Flying Particle
Each of the three classes as mentioned above are divided into two divisions to describe conditions under which explosion-sensitive substance is present-
Division Description
1 Ignitable and hazardous substance concentration exists under normal operating conditions.
2 Ignitable and hazardous substance concentration exists under special operating conditions.
Group classification is based on explosive pressures, ignition temperatures, and behavior of Class I and Class II materials. Class -1 hazardous material categories are grouped as A, B, C, and D. Class -2 hazardous material categories are grouped as E, F, and G.
Autoignition Temperature (AIT) mentions the minimum temperature at which hazardous material can ignite spontaneously even without a flame, spark, or any other ignition source.
