22、 Uncontrolled Copy Not for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-BS EN 50050-3:20130 Introduction 0.1 Process In the process of electrostatic flock application, flock particles are transported from a reservoir to an applicator either by gravitational forces or wi
23、thin an air stream. As the flock particles are passing the applicator, they are electrostatically charged and developed by means of a high voltage of some tens of kilovolts and ejected in the form of a cloud which is directed towards the workpiece. The flock particles of the cloud are attracted by t
24、he earthed workpiece and enclosed from a before served adhesive layer. They stick in this adhesive layer until the adhesive is set at room temperature or by heating. Flock particles not deposited on the workpiece (overspray) are removed by the exhaust ventilation system, by brushes or other devices
25、into the flock recovery system. 0.2 Explosion hazards 0.2.1 An explosion can occur, if the concentration of flock particles in air is within the explosion limits, contamination by adhesives (in a cured condition most of the adhesives are insulating), and an ignition source of appropriate energy for
26、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 discharges completely,
27、the main focus should be the prevention of ignitable concentrations of flock in air. 0.2.2 Deflagration of explosive atmospheres is only possible within a given range of concentration, but not, if the concentration is above or below this range. NOTE If an explosive cloud of flock and air is trapped
28、into a closed room, an explosion can lead to a fatal increase of pressure. 0.2.3 It is important that deposits of flock are not allowed to accumulate within the spraying areas for they may be whirled up and give rise to an explosive atmosphere. This does not apply to deposits on filter devices and a
29、ccumulations of flock in reservoirs where filters and reservoirs are integrated in the spraying area and are designed to collect the flock. 0.2.4 Particular attention should be paid to the prevention of electrostatic charges on different surfaces located in the vicinity of the flock cloud. This coul
30、d apply to e.g. workpieces during the coating process. 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 conductive parts, which are not connected to dangero
31、us 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 earthing system, null a too high resistance t
32、o earth (e. g. contamination by flock).

33、azardous malfunctions (e.g. shortcut of electronic safety circuits) occur due to interferences of the high voltage equipment and the components of the control and safety systems. 0.3.4 Hazardous electrostatic discharges could be generated, for instance, by non-earthed conductive components or by lar
34、ge insulating surfaces, especially if they are backed with conductive material.

35、pe 1.1 This European Standard specifies the requirements for hand-held or hand-operated electrostatic spraying equipment for ignitable flock within a temperature range from 5 C to 40 C to be used in explosive atmospheres generated by their own spray cloud. This European Standard deals with all elect
36、rical hazards significant for the electrostatic spraying of flock, which could also contain small quantities of added 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 atm
37、osphere. This European Standard specifies the design-related and test requirements for electrostatic spraying equipment of type A-F and type B-F according to Table 1 of EN 50223:2010. 1.2 Electrostatic applicators are considered to be equipment of group II, category 3D for use in potentially explosi
38、ve areas of zone 22. All other parts of hand-held electrostatic spraying equipment are considered to be equipment of category 3D if they are installed or used in potentially explosive areas of zone 22. NOTE 1 Solvent vapours which could be evaporated by workpieces coated with adhesives do not lead t
39、o a zone 2 in the flocking area. 1.3 In addition to the requirements above, the requirements of EN 1953 applies with regard to all other significant hazards relevant for applicators (e.g. health hazards, inadequate ergonomics). 1.4 This European Standard does not apply to zone classification of the
40、areas in and around spray booths see EN 50223, zone classification of other areas with potentially explosive atmosphere see EN 60079-10-2, selection, erection and application of other electrical and non-electrical equipment in areas with explosion hazard see EN 60079-14 and EN 50223, cleaning of spr
