What are the advantages and disadvantages of explosion-proof FFU?

Explosion-proof FFU (fan filter unit) plays an important role in the environment with flammable and explosive risk, the following is a specific analysis of its advantages and disadvantages:
advantage
Safe and explosion-proof: This is the most prominent advantage of explosion-proof FFU. It adopts a special explosion-proof design and manufacturing process, such as the use of explosion-proof motors, explosion-proof electrical components, with good grounding and electrostatic discharge measures, etc., which can effectively prevent the electrical spark generated in the operation process, high temperature and other causes the burning or explosion of flammable and explosive materials around, providing a reliable safety guarantee for the existence of dangerous gases, steam or dust places.
High-efficiency purification: Usually equipped with a high-efficiency filter, can efficiently filter dust particles, bacteria, and other pollutants in the air, can remove small particles in the air, and provide high cleanliness of the air for the working environment, to meet the process needs of high environmental cleanliness requirements.
Stable and reliable: reasonable structural design, the selection of high-quality materials and components, through strict quality testing and performance testing, can be long-term stable operation in harsh working environments, reducing the risk of production disruption and safety accidents caused by equipment failure.
Flexible arrangement: The volume is relatively small, the installation method is diverse, and the single or multiple combined installations can be flexibly carried out according to different site layouts and process requirements, which can adapt to a variety of complex clean room layouts and transformation needs.
Low noise operation: By optimizing the design of the fan, using vibration and noise reduction measures and high-quality sound insulation materials, the noise generated during operation is low, generally between 42-56dBA, creating a relatively quiet and comfortable working environment for the staff, which is conducive to improving work efficiency and reducing the health impact on the staff.
Energy saving and high efficiency: The use of advanced fan technology and energy-saving motors can meet the requirements of air purification and ventilation at the same time, reduce energy consumption, have a good energy-saving effect, and help to reduce the operating costs of enterprises.
shortcoming
High cost: Due to the design and manufacturing requirements of special functions such as explosion-proof and efficient filtration, the procurement cost of explosion-proof FFU is much higher than that of ordinary ventilation filtration equipment, which will increase the initial investment cost of enterprises.
Complex maintenance: professional technicians are required for maintenance and maintenance. In the maintenance process, it is not only necessary to check and replace conventional parts such as filters and fans, but also to carry out regular testing and maintenance of explosion-proof parts to ensure that their explosion-proof performance always meets the requirements, and the maintenance cost and difficulty are relatively high.
Large weight: In order to ensure explosion-proof performance and structural strength, the shell and some key components of the explosion-proof FFU usually use thicker metal materials, resulting in a larger overall weight of the equipment, which increases the difficulty of installation and handling to a certain extent, and has higher requirements for the bearing capacity of the installation location.
Limited selection: Because to meet the requirements of explosion-proof and specific environments, its optional range in air volume, wind pressure, shape, and size is relatively narrow, and may not be able to fully meet all the needs of some special processes or special environments, in the selection of the need for more detailed evaluation and matching.
High environmental requirements: although it has an explosion-proof function, it still has certain requirements for the installation and use of the environment. For example, conditions such as ambient temperature and humidity may affect its performance and explosion-proof effect, and it needs to be used within the specified environmental range, otherwise, it may shorten the life of the equipment or reduce the explosion-proof safety.
