5、debate during the development of this European Standard. Those who are familiar with programmable electronic systems and their potentially complex failure modes see the need for much more detailed advice on designing equipment which has reliable protective systems. As pointed out in Annex C, EN 954-
6、1:1996 does not effectively cover all of the principles described in this European Standard for the purposes of assessing ignition control devices.Those from a mechanical background recognized that very simple devices can sometimes be used as safety systems. If designers were to consider all the iss

28、ist and/or combustible dust, do not contain an effective ignition source in normal operation. However, there is a risk that an ignition source might arise in such equipment if the moving parts suffer a malfunction or an abnormal operation occurs. An example of this is a fan, having high speed rotati
29、ng blades fixed to a shaft, supported on rolling element bearings, inside a stator. In normal operation, no frictional ignition sources should be present. However, because the clearances between the rotor and stator are very small, malfunctions such as the collapse of a shaft bearing, distortion of
30、a rotating blade, build up of foreign material on a rotating blade, etc. could cause the clearance to be reduced and frictional sparking, or hot surfaces, to occur. To prevent potential ignition sources from becoming effective during normal operation, malfunction and rare malfunction, it is possible
31、 to incorporate sensors into the equipment to detect impending dangerous conditions and initiate control measures at an early stage of deterioration before the potential sources are converted into effective sources. The control measures applied, may be initiated automatically, via direct connections
32、 between the sensors and the ignition prevention system, or manually, by providing a warning to the equipment operator (With the intention of the operator applying the ignition prevention measures e.g. by stopping the equipment). In this document, the incorporation of such sensors and their associat
33、ed automatic/manual ignition prevention measures, to prevent potential ignition sources becoming effective ignition sources, is known as protection by “Control of ignition source b ” This type of ignition protection, and the devices used to achieve it, can take many forms. In practice, they may be m
34、echanical, electrical, optical, visual or a combination of all of these. Although this document deals with the ignition protection of non-electrical equipment, it nevertheless has to take account of the fact that an increasing amount of non-electrical equipment makes use of electrical sensors to det
35、ect and initiate the ignition prevention measures. It is therefore impossible to produce a non-electrical equipment protection standard without making reference to the use of electrical sensors and their associated ignition prevention system circuits. Some examples of mechanical sensor / actuator de
36、vices are: a) fuseable plugs (as used in fluid couplings), that melt to release the energy contained in the power transmission fluid before the temperature of ignition capable parts exceed allowable limits; b) centrifugal speed governors, that directly control the power throttle and prevent rotating
37、 parts attaining frictional ignition capable rotational speeds; c) thermostatic valves, that close to reduce the input energy, or open to increase the amount of coolant, thereby preventing ignition capable temperatures being attained; d) pressure relief valves (using springs or weights), that open t
38、o limit pressure levels and consequent temperature rise during gas compression. Alternatively, to protect against catastrophic failure leading to the exposure of unintended hot surfaces. Some examples of combined electro-mechanical sensor / actuator devices are: e) temperature, flow and level monito
39、ring/control devices, that detect temperature / flow / level and initiate a solenoid valve to reduce the input energy, or increase the amount of coolant, f) optical pulse counters, that sense abnormal rotational speeds on the teeth of gears and send signals to a speed controller, g) vibration sensor
40、s, that detect abnormal vibration, from e.g. rolling element bearings, before they fail (usually indicated by high frequency vibrations), or rotating parts that are becoming out of dynamic balance (usually indicated by low frequency vibrations), Licensed Copy: Institute Of Technology Tallaght, Insti

42、etect frictional slippage between the drive pulley and power transmission belt, due to loss of belt tension, j) wear detectors on clutches, which detect unacceptable wear likely to cause frictional heating by incorrect engagement of the clutch. Such sensor / actuator control devices may be either, continuously active in normal operation of the equipment (e.g. to control the temperature of category 3 equipment), or be arranged so that they only detect abnormal operation (e.g. to detect impending dangerous over-temperature in category 2 equipment). As malfunction of any of the above sensors
