How to reduce the explosion risk in hazardous areas with intrinsic safety dew point meters
Date: 2025-04-18Read: 4

There are hazardous areas or explosive atmospheres in industries such as oil, natural gas, and chemical, and ensuring operational safety is crucial. A robust and reliable gas detection solution is needed to prevent catastrophic events.



01


Understand hazardous areas




Dangerous area refers to the presence of yiran gas, steam, combustible dust, combustible fibers, or flying debrisPlaces where dust (larger dust particles in the air) may form explosive environments. There is a significant risk of fire and explosion in such an environment. Various protection methods are used to reduce these hazards, including intrinsic safety.


shouldElectrical equipment used in hazardous areas must be explosion-proof, and the design and manufacturing of these devices must ensure safe operation in environments with flammable, explosive gases or dust, preventing explosions or fire accidents caused by electrical sparks or other ignition sources. Explosion proof electrical equipment can usually be divided intointrinsically safe(intrinsic safety), explosion-proof type, increased safety type, positive pressure shell, liquid immersion type, etc. In this article, let's first learn about intrinsic safety devices together.

essenceSafety is a critical protection method for hazardous areas, ensuring safe operation in environments prone to explosions.Although it has certain limitations, itsadvantage——Especially in highly unstable environments - making it a solution for industries such as oil and gas, mining, and chemical processing.By understanding the components and engineering behind intrinsic safety systems,companyCan create a safer workplace, andIn veryMaximum上降lowCatastrophic eventThe risk.

Overview of Intrinsic Safety



Intrinsic Safety (I.S.) refers to the ability to maintain safety even under fault conditions防止Equipment and wiring that release electrical or thermal energy capable of igniting hazardous atmospheric mixtures. The intrinsic safety device is designed with special preventive measures to ensure safety, including:



01

能量限制

The components are specially designed to limit current and voltage to safe levels.

02

Circuit protection

Equipment utilizes resistors andfuseWait for barriers to control the current and prevent overheating.

03

Material selection

The materials used in construction are spark free and heat-resistant to minimize risks.


The intrinsic safety system involves not only the equipment itself, but also a fundamentalsafety barrier(Zener safety barrier and isolator). This safety barrier separates the "safe zone" (non hazardous zone) from the "hazardous zone". This safety barrier ensures that high-energy level faults generated in the safe area will not spread to the hazardous area.

Intrinsically safe dew point meter



Mixier has a complete range of intrinsic safety explosion-proof transmitters and systems, which can reliably measure trace moisture, dew point, and hydrocarbon dew point in hazardous areas. MichellIntrinsic safety productsWhen naming, "I.S." is usually added to the suffix, such as Easidew I.S., Easidew PRO I.S,Liquidew I.S.,Promet I.SAny MIZIER product with the I.S. suffix indicates that the instrument complies with hazardous area standards such as ATEX, UKCA, IECEx, TR CU, and cQPSus, ensuring the safety and reliability of the equipment in design, installation, and operation, and can accurately measure specific parameters.
