When can a danger of explosion occur?
A danger of explosion occurs when a flammable medium (gas, vapor, mist or dust) is present in a dangerous quantity.
What creates an explosion?
An explosion may occur when the following 3 components are present at the same time:
Typical sources of ignition
Very often the reason for accidents is self-ignition, extraordinary surface temperatures and sparks due to mechanical reasons. But there are also a lot of other sources of ignition, caused by either mechanical and/or electrical equipment:
Self-ignition, extraordinary surface temperatures, open flames, sparks caused by mechanical reasons, static electricity, lightning strike, ultra- sound, chemical sources of ignition and more.
ATEX-certified electrostatics
The ATEX-certified ionizers are designed in such a way that they according to their approval also in potentially explosive atmospheres areas can be used.
