25、50-1:20130 Introduction 0.1 Process During the electrostatic coating process the liquid coating material is transported to an applicator where it is atomised and converted to droplets by mechanical forces and by the influence of an electric field. During this atomising process the droplets are charg
26、ed by high voltage of some 10 kV and a spray cloud is generated. The charged droplets are attracted by and applied to the earthed workpiece. Droplets, which are not applied to the workpiece (overspray) are removed by a suction device or by other means. After the coating process the coated workpieces
27、 are introduced into a dryer where the solvent is evaporated and a dry film of coating material is generated. 0.2 Explosion hazards 0.2.1 An explosion could occur, if the concentration of sprayed ignitable liquid coating material in air is within the explosion limits, an ignition source of appropria
28、te energy for this explosive atmosphere is present. Ignition sources could be, for instance, a hot surface, a naked flame, an electric arc or a spark. An explosion could be prevented, if at least one condition is avoided. Because it is very difficult to exclude the possibility of ignitable discharge
29、s completely, the main focus should be the prevention of an explosive atmosphere. 0.2.2 An explosive atmosphere can only explode within a given range of concentration, but not, if the concentration is above or below this range. NOTE If an explosive mixture of coating materials and air is trapped int
30、o a closed room, an explosion can lead to a fatal increase of pressure. 0.2.3 Particular attention should be paid to the prevention of electrostatic charges on different surfaces located in the vicinity of the spraying cloud. This could apply to e.g. workpieces during the coating process. Grounding
31、is critical to the prevention of electrostatic charge to any conductive objects in the spray area. 0.3 Electric hazards 0.3.1 Electric shock (by direct or indirect contact) can be generated, for instance, by contact with null live parts, which are not insulated for operational reasons, null conducti
32、ve parts, which are not connected to dangerous voltage during normal operation, but only in case of failure, null insulated live parts with insufficient or damaged insulation due to external impact. 0.3.2 Inadequate earthing may occur, for instance, due to null faulty connections to the protective e
33、arthing system, null a too high resistance to earth (e. g. contamination by coating materials). 0.3.3 Hazards could occur, for instance, if hazardous malfunctions (e.g. shortcut of electronic safety circuits) occur due to interferences of the electrostatic high voltage equipment and the components o
34、f the control and safety systems. 0.3.4 Hazardous electrostatic discharges could be generated, for instance, by non-earthed conductive components or by large insulating surfaces, especially if they are backed with conductive material.

36、ting materials to be used in explosive atmospheres generated by their own spray cloud within a temperature range from 5 C to 40 C. This European Standard deals with all hazards significant for the electrostatic spraying of liquid coating materials, which could also contain small quantities of added
37、metal particles, if the work is carried out under conditions recommended by the manufacturer. In particular, this includes ignition hazards resulting from the generated explosive atmosphere. This European Standard specifies the design-related and test requirements for electrostatic spraying equipmen
38、t of type A-L according to Table 1 of EN 50176:2009. 1.2 With regard to explosion protection and prevention measures, this European Standard also applies to ionisators with high voltage corona charging. Ionisators in conformity with EN 50050-1 provide equipment category 2G. Parts of ionisators, whic
39、h are intended to be used or installed in Zone 2, provide equipment category 3G in conformity with EN 50050-1:2013, see Annex D. 1.3 Electrostatic applicators are considered to be equipment of group II, category 2G for use in potentially explosive areas of zone 1 or 2, which have been generated by t
40、he equipment itself. All other parts of hand-held electrostatic spraying equipment are considered to be equipment of category 3G if they are installed or used in potentially explosive areas of zone 2. 1.4 All other significant hazards relevant for applicators (e.g. ejection of fluids, mechanical str
41、ength, electrical hazards (apart from the electrostatic hazards), noise, explosion, contact with or inhalation of dangerous substances, ergonomics) are covered by EN 1953. 1.5 This European Standard also gives details regarding quality assurance systems for electrostatic spraying equipment, see Anne
42、x C. 1.6 Additional requirements may be applicable to equipment designed for use in food and pharmaceutical industry. 1.7 This European Standard does not apply to zone classification of the areas in and around spray booths see EN 12215, zone classification of other areas with potentially explosive a
