Industrial Explosion Proof Lights Certified For Refinery And Chemical Plant Maintenance Works
Fins board has introduced industrial explosion proof lights aimed at refinery turnaround and chemical plant maintenance programmes, where fixtures are installed quickly inside a permit window and must survive washdown, vibration and high ambient temperature. The luminaires are certified for Zone 1 and Zone 2 areas and rated for 55 degrees Celsius ambient.
The design separates the flameproof terminal chamber from the optical chamber, so field wiring does not disturb the certified flame path during installation or later modification. Hinged covers with captive stainless fasteners allow inspection without removing the fixture, and a plug in driver module means electronics can be replaced at height in a single visit, which matters when scaffolding is rented by the day.
Mechanical construction uses a copper free aluminium alloy with a polyester coating tested for salt spray, and the tempered glass window is rated for impact from tools and process debris. Cable entries accept dual certified brass glands in M20 and M25, and mounting brackets suit both wall and stanchion installation with a locking scale to hold the aim after vibration.
Refinery lighting studies frequently ask for maintained illuminance in walkways, stair towers and valve stations. Measured photometric files in IES format are supplied so the study can be run in standard software, and lumen maintenance projections based on LM-80 data support the maintained values used in the design. That combination shortens the review cycle between the lighting supplier and the engineering contractor.
