The Directive 2014/34/EU governs the subject of “Explosion Protection” throughout the European Union. Regulations referring to placing products on the market to be utilised in areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are established in this specific directive. Rosenberg fans are designed in an explosion-proof version, manufactured and tested in accordance with the requirements of the following standards:
EN 1127-1
Explosive atmospheres - Basic concepts and methodology
EN 13463-1
Non-electrical equipment for potentially explosive atmospheres, part 1 Basic method and requirements
EN 13463-5
Non-electrical equipment for potentially explosive atmospheres, part 5 Protection by constructional safety "c"
EN 14986
Design of fans working in potentially explosive atmospheres
Rosenberg fans for potentially explosive atmospheres are manufactured and tested in accordance with the state of technical knowledge. The possible contact surfaces between rotating and stationary components, in view of operating malfunctions which are typically to be expected, are manufactured using materials with a minimised ignition risk resulting from friction, grinding or impact sparks. The inlet and outlet of the fan can be fitted with guards, if required, to prevent the dropping or sucking in of foreign particles. The guards must at least meet the requirements of EN 13857.
The motor data for an optimally cooled motor are stamped onto the type nameplate and are part of the contents of the EC type examination certificate for zone 1 motors. Refer to the fan nameplate for the nominal fan data.
