ATEX FANS FOR GREEN HYDROGEN GENERATION The process of obtaining green hydrogen involves the electrolysis of water through the use of electrolysers, using electricity generated from renewable sources such as wind or solar. Unlike conventional hydrogen which is obtained from fossil fuels, green hydrogen does not emit greenhouse gases during its production or when it is use as a fuel. This makes it a key option for decarbonising sectors such as transport, industry or power generation In turn, hydrogen is a highly explosive gas (IICT1) and therefore, proper ventilation must be provided for...

Hydrogen (H2) is the most abundant element in the universe that can be used to generate energy. TEMPERATURE CLASS (IGNITION TEMPERATURE) SODECA uses IIB+H2 marking for fans suitable for hydrogen Combination of high explosion energy, low amount of energy required to ignite it, and low flammability limit, make hydrogen a particularly hazardous gas and that a special ATEX equipment is required .

There are many applications that may require fans prepared to work in explosive atmospheres. Generally speaking, any application that takes place in a zone with a risk of explosion: ELECTRIC MOTOR EXPLOSION RISK ZONE Zone 2 (gas) Zone 22 (dust) Zone 1 (gas) Not likely in normal Zone 21 (dust) operating conditions Likely in norma! C۩ II 3G Ex ec C۩ II 3D Ex tc IIIB (non -conductive dust) C۩ II 3D Ex tc IIIC (conductive dust) operating conditions C۩ II 2G Ex db C۩ II 2G Ex db eb C۩ II 2G Ex eb C۩ II 2D Ex tb IIIB (non -conductive dust) C۩ II 2D Ex tb IIIC (conductive dust) Any device...

For the total or partial declassification of a room or area with an explosive atmosphere, it must be ventilated with air free of gases or explosive dust to guarantee the concentration of these gases or dust is reduced below the explosive limits. This mechanical ventilation process reduces the level of explosion risk in the premises or minimises the extension of the classified zone, thus reducing the anti-explosive requirements of the devices that are to be installed in the premises.
