Explosion proof light led: safe and efficient intelligent lighting solutions for battery factory

Introduction: battery factory lighting special challenges and Explosion proof light led inevitable choice

In lithium batteries, storage batteries and other modern battery production plants, Explosion proof light led have become the core cornerstone facilities to ensure safe production. Due to the electrolyte volatile gas [such as DMC, EC and other organic solvents], metal dust and high-precision manufacturing environment, multiple challenges, the traditional lighting equipment, there are major safety hazards, energy efficiency defects.

In this paper, in-depth analysis of Explosion proof light led in the battery plant innovation, revealing how to approve the implementation of technological innovation, intrinsic safety, energy saving and intelligent management of triple breakthroughs.

First, why the battery factory must use Explosion proof light led?

1.1 explosive gases and dust double threat

Electrolyte volatile gases: in the liquid injection workshop, DMC [dimethyl carbonate] explosion lower limit [LEL] is only 3.3%, flash point 18 ℃

Metal dust risk: in the electrode material grinding area, metal dust such as aluminum powder and nickel powder reaches 20g/m³ and explodes when exposed to an ignition source.

International standard requirements: According to IEC 60079-14, the drying room and liquid injection room of battery factory should be divided into Zone 1/21.

1.2 traditional lamps and lanterns fatal flaws

Fourth, the choice of Explosion proof light led five golden guidelines

4.1 Certification system checklist

International certification: IECEx/ATEX/UL 844 industry-specific certification: UN38.3 [lithium battery transportation safety guidelines compatibility] material test reports: need to supply NMP corrosion resistance test [≥ 500 hours].

4.2 Optical performance parameters

Color temperature: 3000K-5000K adjustable, technical principles to match the visual needs of different processes.

Uniformity of illumination: U0 ≥ 0.7, the technical principle of eliminating the shadow of the worktable.

Stroboscopic index: advocating guidelines SVM <0.4, the technical principle of high-speed winding equipment to care for the operator’s eyesight

4.3 Intelligent control system integration

DALI 2.0 Intelligent Dimming: linked with BMS system, automatically adjusts the brightness according to the production status.

Predictive maintenance system: real-time monitoring of LED light failure [accuracy ± 2%], 30 days in advance warning replacement.

Energy management interface: support Modbus RTU/TCP protocol, access to the factory energy management platform.

Fifth. Global benchmarking case: explosion-proof LED lamps to verify the actual situation

5.1 East Asia Power Battery Super Factory Project

Replacement of 2500 sets of traditional lamps and lanterns for explosion-proof LED lamps annual savings of $ 218,000 in electricity costs, carbon dioxide emissions reduction of 620 tons of product defective rate decreased by 0.15% [thanks to the precise optical inspection environment].
