Flammable and Explosion Proof Refrigerators
Flammable and Explosion Proof Refrigerators
Flammable and explosion-proof refrigerators meet NFPA and OSHA standards for safely storing volatile materials, such as solvents and intermediates, between 2°C and 8°C. The refrigerators prevent explosions inside or outside the unit and are available in a variety of models and sizes.
They are designed to eliminate the possibility of sparks igniting or initiating a conflagration or accidental detonation. Most have solid doors and must be “hard-wired” (not equipped with an electrical plug).
The refrigeration components of flammable materials and explosion-proof refrigerators are separated from any electrical components to prevent sparking:
- Compressors typically have enclosed overloads, relays, and thermostats
- Magnetic door gaskets help prevent hazardous fumes from escaping the chamber
- Security measures may include locking doors and alarms
Other options may include:
- Capacities: A range of sizes
- Temperature recovery: The time required to return to the setpoint after the unit has been open
- Peak variation: Temperature variability within the chamber; typically documented via temperature mapping
- Back-up systems: For power failures or interruptions
- Security: Locks or other restricted access features
- Monitoring controls: Alarms and other methods to alert users of malfunctions, door ajar, events, and other issues
- Noise Levels: Compatible with comfortable working conditions
