27、 atmosphere surrounding an enclosure can penetrate it mainly due to the influence of three mechanisms: ventilation; equalisation of pressure differences between the inside and outside (breathing); diffusion. If such an enclosure is effectively sealed, but not necessarily gas-tight, it can be assumed
28、 that ventilation and diffusion will not cause a significant short-time exchange of atmosphere. Under these conditions, an exchange of the external and internal atmospheres through the seals will only take place if there is a pressure difference across them. Such pressure differences may be caused b
29、y changes in temperature and will result in the enclosure breathing but will not cause a significant flow of explosive atmosphere into or through the enclosure. Experience has shown that even simple enclosures can prevent a surrounding explosive atmosphere from reaching ignition sources inside them.
30、 Flow restricting enclosures are such simple enclosures, which will prevent, with adequate probability, the atmosphere inside the enclosures becoming explosive if the atmosphere outside the enclosure becomes explosive rarely and for short durations only. For this reason their use is restricted to th
31、e fulfilment of category 3 requirements. This document is a type B standard as described in EN 1070.Licensed Copy: Institute Of Technology Tallaght, Institute of Technology, Mon Jul 23 10:14:34 GMT+00:00 2007, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSIEN 13463-2:2004 (E) 51 Scope This document specifies the require
32、ments for the construction and testing of flow restricting enclosures for non-electrical equipment intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres if the atmosphere outside the enclosure becomes explosive rarely and for short durations only. This document supplements the requirements in EN 134
33、63-1 the contents of which apply in full to equipment constructed in accordance with this document. Equipment complying with this standard meets the requirements of Group II Category 3 equipment. The type of ignition protection described in this standard is unsuitable for use in combination with ano
34、ther type of protection to produce equipment of any other category than category 3. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of th
35、e referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

37、losive limit 4 General 4.1 General requirements The requirements of this document apply in addition to the requirements of EN 13463-1. Flow restricting enclosures used to protect Group II Category 3 equipment may contain ignition sources which occur during normal operation provided the enclosure its
38、elf is not an ignition source. The type of protection shall not be used if the ignition source is an open flame. 4.2 Determination of suitability The equipment manufacturers ignition hazard assessment required by EN 13463-1 shall have determined that protection by flow restricting enclosure is appropriate to achieve the level of protection required by Group II Category 3 equipment. NOTE Equipment manufacturer means the manufacturer who applies flow restricting enclosures to protect the equipment that may contain ignitions sources under normal operation. It is not the manufacturer of the
