Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CENELEC and/o

This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CENELEC by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).

21、 Directive(s) see informative Annex ZZ, which is an integral part of this document. EN 50050-1:2013BS EN 50050-1:20130 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 mecha
22、nical forces and by the influence of an electric field. During this atomising process the droplets are charged 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 (o
23、verspray) are removed by a suction device or by other means. After the coating process the coated workpieces 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 spra
24、yed ignitable liquid coating material in air is within the explosion limits, an ignition source of appropriate 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 le
25、ast one condition is avoided. Because it is very difficult to exclude the possibility of ignitable discharges 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 concentr
26、ation is above or below this range. NOTE If an explosive mixture of coating materials and air is trapped into 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 th
27、e vicinity of the spraying cloud. This could apply to e.g. workpieces during the coating process. Grounding 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, f
28、or instance, by contact with null live parts, which are not insulated for operational reasons, null conductive 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 i
29、mpact. 0.3.2 Inadequate earthing may occur, for instance, due to null faulty connections to the protective earthing 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
30、safety circuits) occur due to interferences of the electrostatic 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 large insulating surfaces, especially if
31、 they are backed with conductive material. EN 50050-1:2013BS EN 50050-1:20131 Scope 1.1 This European Standard specifies the requirements for hand-held or hand-operated electrostatic spraying equipment for ignitable liquid coating materials to be used in explosive atmospheres generated by their own
32、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 metal particles, if the work is carried out under conditions recommended b
33、y 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 equipment of type A-L according to Table 1 of EN 50176:2009. 1.2 With regard to ex
34、plosion 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, which are intended to be used or installed in Zone 2, provide equipment catego
35、ry 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 the equipment itself. All other parts of hand-held electrostatic spraying e
36、quipment 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 strength, electrical hazards (apart from the electrostatic hazards), noise, e
37、xplosion, 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 Annex C. 1.6 Additional requirements may be applicable to equipment designed f
38、or 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 atmosphere see EN 60079-10-1, selection, erection and application of other
39、electrical and non-electrical equipment in areas with explosion hazard see EN 60079-14 and EN 12215, cleaning of spraying areas, see instruction manual of the spray booth, fire prevention and protection, for instance fire hazards due to other sources see EN 12215, requirements for machinery for the
40、supply and recirculation of coating material under pressure see EN 12621. 1.8 When processing coating materials having specific electrical properties (conductivity, resistivity) the function of the hand-held spraying equipment to charge coating materials electrostatically may be affected as a result
41、 of a voltage drop at the charging electrode.
