Cameras with explosion protection have been designed to eliminate the risk of a spark that could cause an explosion in a dangerous environment.This is their key function, but this does not end with the catalog of benefits from their use.Safety issues remain in the foreground, but factors such as high quality of devices and the ability to integrate them with more and more sensors also significantly affect the high operational performance of the installation.
- Cameras with explosion protection are used in environments where there is a real risk of explosion.Contrary to appearances, threats of this type are common and may affect many different sectors of industry, in particular critical infrastructure facilities - says Marek Białek from Axis Communications.
Explosions pose a threat wherever the flammable or flammable material contacts the ignition source (an oxidant is also necessary, but because the oxidant can be air, it is almost always present).One of the most exposed to the risk of industrial operations is the extraction and processing of natural gas (it is also a by -product of oil extraction and processing).Gas is commonly used in many production sectors, and its vapors are present in every process using chemicals or flammable liquids.
Dangerous explosions can also occur during production operations, includingas an undesirable side effect of significant amounts of dust or microfibers.Regardless of whether they are created during the production of food products, such as flour, materials used in agriculture, such as fertilizers, or as waste in the wood industry, this risk of catastrophic dust explosion occurs almost always.
As Marek Białek adds, the ignition sources of potential explosions are very diverse.Electric sparks or those that arise as a result of impact or friction, open fire, electrostatic discharges, high temperatures, shock waves, and even lightning strokes can directly cause an explosion or a fire.
