1.Introduction

A battery explosion-proof chamber is somethinglike a special bunker or dedicated room, which is designed to contain materials or processes that might have a risk of causing an explosion, such as in the short circut test or thermal runaway test. The design purpose of the machine has to meet relevant explosion-proof specifications to make sure that there is explosion-proof, fireproof, anti-corrosion, and other situation. In addition, the explosion-proof chambers are usually applied for equipment in dangerous environments, such as the production and operation sites of oil, gas, chemical, pharmaceutical and dust industries.

2.Material

When it comes to the main function of theexplosion-proof chamber, this machine is in order to prevent the explosive material inside from triggering the explosion and fire in the surrounding area. The producing materials are often used with special metal (like stainless steel, aluminum alloy, copper-nickel alloy, etc.), which is with the good environmental resistant functions of high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, pressure resistance and impact resistance. Machine has some safety functions inside, such as explosion-proof door, a protective net, explosion-proof LED, to ensure that the internal devices can run normally.

3.Industry application

There are many kinds of explosion-proof chambers, which can be divided into explosion-proof control boxes, explosion-proof distribution boxes, explosion-proof instrument boxes, explosion-proof operation tables, etc., according to the use occasions and functions. Different types of explosion-proof chambers have different characteristics and applications. For example, in the oil and gas industry, the commonly used explosion-proof boxes are required to have explosion-proof, anti-corrosion, anti-ultraviolet radiation and other properties, and can adapt to the harsh working environment. In the dust industry, the explosion-proof chambers is required to have explosion-proof, dust-proof, moisture-proof and other characteristics, and can adapt to the high concentration of dust working environment.

To sum up, an explosion-proof chamber is avery important safety equipment, plays a vital role in dangerous environment. With the continuous development and progress of technology, the design and manufacture of explosion-proof boxes are also constantly innovated and improved to meet higher safety requirements and more complex applications.
