Explosion proof led light fixtures: energy storage industry safety lighting program

1. Energy storage industry lighting special challenges and the core value of LED explosion-proof lights

In the context of the rapid development of the energy storage industry, lithium battery storage power stations, battery storage pods and other facilities for the safety of lighting put forward stringent requirements.

Such environments exist flammable gases, dust accumulation and other explosion risks, traditional lighting equipment has been unable to meet the demand for intrinsic safety.

At this time, the use of approved ATEX / IECEx certified Explosion proof led light fixtures, into the protection of facilities to ensure the safe operation of the fundamental initiatives.

Energy storage places three major lighting pain points

Explosive environmental hazards: lithium energy storage pods in the charging and discharging process probably release hydrogen and other flammable gases

Severe environmental adaptation needs: -40 ℃ ~ +60 ℃ extreme temperature fluctuations test the reliability of equipment

Operation and maintenance cost control pressure: traditional explosion-proof lamps and lanterns with high energy consumption and short life increase the burden of operation

2. LED explosion-proof light technology advantages of analysis

2.1 Upgrade safety and protection performance

Professional design Explosion proof led light fixtures using die-cast aluminum shell and tempered glass shield, approved explosion-proof [Ex d] or increased safety [Ex e] explosion-proof structure, effectively curbing the risk of explosion caused by sparks.

It meets IP66/IP68 protection level design, which ensures stable work in the humid and salt spray environment unique to energy storage containers.

2.2 Revolutionary breakthrough in energy efficiency performance

Compared with traditional explosion-proof metal halide lamps, Explosion proof led light fixtures can be implemented:

Reduce energy consumption by more than 60% [150W LED instead of 400W traditional lamps and lanterns] luminous efficacy to 130lm / W above 50,000 hours of ultra-long service life [80% reduction in maintenance frequency].

2.3 Intelligent control integration potential

A new generation of Explosion proof led light fixtures with DALI dimming system, can be linked with the BMS system of the energy storage station, the implementation:

According to the ambient illumination automatically adjust the brightness motion detection intelligent start and stop energy consumption data real-time monitoring.

3. Typical application scenarios in the energy storage industry in-depth analysis
