Ex led lights in the distillery lighting core applications and efficient solutions

Introduction: the special needs of winery lighting and explosion-proof LED lamp value

Winery as high humidity, volatile alcohol vapors and the existence of flammable and explosive risk industrial environment, the lighting equipment safety, corrosion resistance, stability requirements are extremely high.

Ex led lights with its explosion-proof design, high efficiency and energy saving, long life characteristics, into the winery lighting ideal choice.

This paper combines industry practice, analysis of Ex led lights in the distillery in the fundamental technical advantages, and supply selection and application of practical guidelines.

First, why must wineries choose Ex led lights?

Explosion-proof performance to protect the safety of the winery environment in the alcohol vapor concentration is high, ordinary lamps and lanterns sparks probably trigger an explosion. Ex led lights approved explosion-proof structure [Exd Ⅱ CT6], sealed design, effectively isolate the internal circuit and external combustible gases, significantly reducing the risk of explosion.

Corrosion-resistant and moisture-proof design of the winery there is often alcohol volatilization, detergent corrosion problems. Ex led lights shell is made of high-pressure electrostatic spraying aluminum alloy, combined with stainless steel fasteners, which can resist chemical corrosion and reach IP66 protection level to ensure long-term stable operation.

Energy saving and long life advantages of traditional metal halide lamps with high energy consumption and short life, while the LED light source energy consumption is only 40% of the traditional lamps and lanterns, life expectancy of up to 50,000 hours or more, significantly reducing electricity costs and maintenance costs.

Second, Ex led lights in the distillery in the fundamental performance requirements

Explosion-proof grade and certification should be selected in accordance with international standards [such as GB3836, IECEx] explosion-proof certified products, suitable for Ⅱ A, Ⅱ B, Ⅱ C explosive gas environment, covering the distillery 1 area, 2 hazardous areas. Heat dissipation and temperature control design of the winery high-temperature environment is easy to affect the performance of the lamps and lanterns.

High-quality Ex led lights using air-conducting grooves or heat sink rib structure, accelerate air convection heat dissipation, control the shell temperature in the T6 group [≤ 85 ℃], to avoid becoming an external ignition source.

Flexible installation and light distribution improvement for different areas of the winery [such as fermentation workshop, wine storage], need to adapt to the ceiling, wall-mounted or boom installation, and with 220 ° wide-angle light distribution design, eliminating the dead angle of the illumination, enhance operational efficiency.

Third, the winery Ex led lights selection and installation practices

1. Scenario-based selection proposition

Fermentation workshop: choose IP66 protection level, dust and moisture-proof Ex led lights, suitable for stainless steel magnetic switch, to avoid frequent contact with pollution.

Wine storage warehouse: low voltage [24V] explosion-proof LED searchlight, reduce the risk of electric sparks, while equipped with time-delay shutdown function to save energy.

2. Professional installation points

Operated by a licensed electrician to ensure cable sealing [G3/4 interface], reliable grounding, to prevent moisture intrusion.

The spacing of the lamps is adjusted according to the power (e.g. 50W-200W) and height, and the average illumination should be more than 150 Lux, which is in line with the guidelines for safe production.

Fourth, the actual application cases and benefit analysis

A large brewing company will replace the traditional lamps and lanterns for Ex led lights, the implementation of the following results:

Safety Improvement: Zero explosion accidents in 5 years, approved fire and explosion-proof special acceptance.

Cost Improvement: 60% reduction in annual electricity costs, maintenance frequency from 1 time per month to 1 time per year.

Environmental compliance: mercury-free design in line with the EU RoHS guidelines, hold to help enterprises sustainable development intentions.

FAQ: Ex led lights in winery common problems answer

Q1: Are Ex led lights suitable for open storage tanks in wineries?

A1: Yes. Choose IP67 protection level and with anti-corrosion coating model, can withstand rain, snow, salt spray environment, such as BAT series explosion-proof floodlights.

Q2：How to determine whether the explosion-proof LED lamp explosion-proof grade is up to standard?

A2: Check the product explosion-proof mark [such as ExdⅡCT6], and ask for a third-party certification report [such as IECEx or ATEX].

Q3：Winery cleaning frequent flushing with water, whether it affects the life of the lamps and lanterns?

A3：Ex led lights approved silicone seals, tempered glass lampshade implementation of waterproof, IP66 rating can withstand high-pressure water gun cleaning, but need to check the sealing regularly.

Q4：Can I directly replace the explosion-proof LED lamps on the existing circuit cornerstone?

A4: It is necessary to assess the circuit load and explosion-proof compatibility, and advocate modification by professional teams to ensure that the power distribution system meets the explosion-proof requirements.
