EN 50223:2015 (E)BS EN 50223:2015Introduction In the process of electrostatic flock application, the flock is transported from a reservoir through an electri
24、cal field either by gravitational forces or an air stream or electrostatic forces. As the flock particles disperse due to the flock application device and/or the electric field, they are electrostatically charged by means of high voltage of some tens of kilovolts aligned and, in the form of a cloud,
25、 encased by and deposited on the grounded workpiece. They stick to those workpieces, which are covered with an adhesive layer. The adhesive is set at room temperature or by heating. Flock particles not deposited on the workpiece (overspray) are upcast or removed by the exhaust ventilation system, by
26、 brushes or other devices into the flock recovery system. EN 50223:2015 (E)BS EN 50223:20151 Scope 1.1 This European Standard specifies requirements for stationary electrostatic flock application equipment which is designed for applying ignitable flock which may form explosive atmospheres in the flo
27、ck application area. For stationary electrostatic application devices for ignitable flock of type B-F, EN 50050-3 is applicable in addition to this standard. This European Standard also specifies the constructional requirements for a safe operation of the stationary equipment of flock application bo
28、oths, including the electrical installations and the accessories. This European Standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to flock application booths, when they are used as intended and under conditions which are foreseeable as malfunction by the manufactu
29、rer (see Clause 4). 1.2 This European Standard considers three types of electrostatic flock systems. For more details, see Table 1. 1.3 This European Standard deals with those hazards occurring during stationary automatic electrostatic flocking. Among these hazards are, above all, ignition hazards o
30、f the generated explosive atmosphere and hazard to persons. 1.4 The stationary equipment dealt with in this European Standard is considered to be equipment of group II, category 3D for the use in areas with potential explosion hazards of zone 22. 1.5 This European Standard is not applicable for floc
31、k systems in which mixtures of solvent vapours in air occur with a concentration of 20 % of the LEL, flock systems operated with AC high voltage, hand-held spraying equipment for ignitable flock (see EN 50050-3), the application system for liquid or pasty substances (e.g. adhesives, primer), the cle
32、aning of flock application booths, the storage and handling of ignitable substances outside the coating plant. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.
