Diesel Explosion Proof Plant (3G Passive) Euromech 3G is the 'alternative' Zone 2 solution for diesel forklift trucks, combining various explosion protection methods.
Conversion, testing and certification take place at Pyroban factories ensuring the equipment is ATEX 94/9/EC compliant* or compliant to local regulations.
All ignition sources are protected so that the forklift truck is safe to operate in the presence of a flammable atmosphere. It is a passive system and is typically selected when the 'preferred' option of gas detection (system6000) cannot be used.
Euromech 3G explosion proof conversions usually refer to EN1755:2000+A1:2009 and are suitable for the latest forklift trucks, typically including:
- Explosion proof Ex’d’ enclosures for arcing and sparking components
- Surface temperature limitation to ensure the engine, motors, brakes, electrics and other components remain below the auto-ignition temperatures (T Class) of flammable materials.
- Inlet shutdown valve for automatic and manual shutdown
- Water cooled exhaust gas cooler to limit surface and exhaust temperatures
- Frame leakage monitoring
- Ex’e’ components
- Ex’i’ intrinsically safe circuits
- Ex’m’ encapsulation
- Ex’e’ battery
- Cladding of forks
Euromech 3G is suitable for turbo charged engine powered diesel trucks including those with hydrostatic drive.
