25、y pressurization to not less than 25 Pa (0.1 inch water column).6.4 Displacing the air can be achieved as follows:a) By continuous purging of not less than ten volumes through the motor; orb) By purging with an inert material such as nitrogen before introducing flammable gas; orc) By evacuation to 0

26、 Pa in a closed system, followed by the introduction of the flammablegas; ord) By cyclical over pressurization and release of pressure of the flammable gas, to not lessthan 25 Pa, so as to reduce the air fraction of the total gas volume to less than 1% by volume.6.5 Following the purging of air, the

27、 motor shall be maintained at a positive pressure not less than 25 Paabove atmospheric pressure.6.6 A means shall be provided to continuously monitor the pressurization and remove power if pressurefalls below 25 Pa above atmospheric pressure. Functional safety systems shall comply with ANSIstandards

28、 for assessment of functional safety systems.6.7 These requirements anticipate common flammable gases or gas mixtures with significant marginbetween the upper flammable limit and the purged and the pressurized state of use for the motor. Forexample, the 15% by volume UFL for methane permits a signif

29、icant safety margin when used at 90% orgreater gas mixtures. Conversely, hydrogen with a UFL of 75% by volume will result in a significantly lowermargin of safety at the same use concentration. The user is cautioned to have controls in place with setpoints that reflect the potential risk of ignition

32、l air must be removed from the containment means before power is supplied to theequipment. The control means shall be so arranged that the power is automatically removed from theequipment at a predetermined level above the equipment to ensure that a flammable mixture can neverbe attained with power

33、applied.7.4 Displacing the air can be achieved as follows:a) By continuous purging of not less than ten volumes of fluid through the motor; orb) By purging with an inert material such as nitrogen before introducing the fluid; orc) By evacuation to 0 Pa in a closed system, followed by the introductio

34、n of the fluid; ord) By total immersion below the volume of liquid contained within a vessel.7.5 Following the purging of air, the equipment shall be maintained at a positive pressure aboveatmospheric or totally immersed beneath a predetermined level of fluid. The vapor pressure of the fluidshall be

35、 permitted to be the source of positive pressure when the conditions of use ensure the absenceof air under all conditions.7.6 A means shall be provided to continuously monitor the pressurization or immersion and automaticallyremove power if pressure falls to within 25 Pa above atmospheric pressure o
