Explosion proof fluorescent lamp: A Core Solution for Safe and Efficient Lighting in Battery Plants

Introduction: Battery factory lighting special challenges and explosion-proof needs

In lithium batteries, energy storage batteries and other new energy industries, high-speed development of the background, the battery manufacturing plant on the industrial lighting put forward stringent safety requirements.

Production process volatile hydrogen, electrolyte vapors and other flammable and explosive substances, and ordinary lighting equipment to generate spark contact probably cause major accidents.

Explosion proof fluorescent lamp, with their unique safety protection design, are becoming the preferred solution for global battery factory lighting systems.

In this paper, we will analyze the core advantages and application practice of Explosion proof fluorescent lamp in the battery production environment.

First, the battery factory lighting special requirements and challenges

1.1 High-risk environment safety hazards

Battery production workshop there are three major risk elements:

Electrode paste preparation area volatile organic solvents [such as NMP] liquid injection process leakage of carbonate electrolyte aging test phase of the battery releases flammable gases

Traditional fluorescent lamps in the switching moment probably produce ≥ 0.28mJ spark energy [according to IEC 60079 guidelines], far more than the minimum ignition energy of hydrogen [0.019mJ], the urgent need for professional-grade Explosion proof fluorescent lamp to deal with the program.

1.2 Stringent lighting quality requirements

Second, Amasly Lighting Explosion proof fluorescent lamp core technology advantages of analysis

2.1 Intrinsically safe explosion-proof structure design

Adopt triple protection system:

Increased safety shell: 5mm thick aluminum alloy die casting, approved GB12476.1 dust explosion-proof certification.

Explosion-proof lamp cavity: V-threaded joint surface design, can withstand 15MPa explosion pressure

Temperature control module: intelligent cooling system to ensure that the surface temperature ≤ 85 ℃ [lower than the T4 temperature group].

2.2 Comparison of energy efficient performance

A lithium battery factory measured data:

Lighting Type	Power (W)	Luminous Efficiency (lm/W)	Annual Consumption (kWh)
Traditional metal halide lamp	250	80	54,750
Explosion-proof fluorescent light	80	120	17,520

Energy saving rate of 68% after the transformation, reducing annual CO₂ emissions of 32 tons [calculated at 0.785kg/kWh].

Third, Explosion proof fluorescent lamp in the battery factory specific application scenarios

3.1 Electrode preparation workshop lighting program

Installation specifications: height from the ground 2.5-3.2m, spacing not more than 1.5 times the height of the lamps and lanterns in the solvent volatilization area to add an explosion-proof emergency lighting system [continuous power supply ≥ 90 minutes].

3.2 Special configuration for electrolyte filling area

Adopt double sealed Explosion proof fluorescent light, equipped with:

316L stainless steel anti-corrosion cover anti-electrolyte erosion PC transparent cover [light transmittance ≥ 92%] positive pressure blowing system [to maintain the lamp cavity pressure > 200Pa].

Fourth. Intelligent Explosion proof fluorescent lamp innovative applications

4.1 Internet of Things Lighting Management System

A TOP10 battery enterprise deployment case:

4.2 Digital twin technology integration

Approval of 3D modeling to build lighting system digital twin can be:

Simulation of different process layouts under the illumination distribution improvement of explosion-proof lamps and lanterns installation point preview accident scenarios emergency lighting response

Fifth. Selection of Explosion proof fluorescent lamp fundamental technical indicators

5.1 Authoritative certification system comparison

Certification Standards	Scope of Application	Core Test Items
ATEX 2014/34/EU	EU market	Mechanical shock test (20J)
IECEx	International Mutual Recognition	Thermal Dramatic Change Test (ΔT=200℃)
NEC 500	North America	Combustible dust accumulation test

5.2 Full life cycle cost analysis

Calculated using a 10-year life cycle:

Cost item	Traditional lamps	Explosion-proof fluorescent lamps
Initial investment	100%	150%
Energy costs	100%	35%
Maintenance costs	100%	20%
Accident risk cost	High	Negligible

Sixth, the implementation of the case: a 20GWh battery factory lighting transformation

Project Background:
