Explosion-proof cold storage is a specialized type of cold room designed for environments where flammable or explosive gases may be present — such as chemical plants, pharmaceutical factories, or hazardous material warehouses.
Unlike standard cold rooms, explosion-proof systems must ensure fire resistance, explosion prevention, automatic alarms, and containment of volatile substances. Below, we explore the main advantages of explosion-proof cold rooms and the key installation requirements you should know.
The actual scene of the explosion-proof cold storage
1.Advantages of Explosion-Proof Cold Storage
1.1 Superior Explosion Protection
Explosion-proof cold rooms utilize advanced integrated safety technologies.
The system features intrinsically safe micro-watt-level optical isolation circuits, significantly enhancing explosion resistance compared to traditional systems. These technologies ensure that even under abnormal operating conditions, ignition sources are effectively eliminated.
1.2 Enhanced Operational Safety
These cold rooms employ multi-layer safety controls, including pressure and temperature protection systems that limit maximum surface temperature.
Additionally, explosion-proof cold rooms use fire-resistant flooring and sealed gas-proof structures that automatically shut down the system in case of leaks or faults. This design provides dozens of times higher impact resistance and overall safety than standard cold storage systems.
1.3 Intelligent Alarm and Monitoring System
If any temperature or pressure anomaly occurs, the explosion-proof system triggers instant alarms and can automatically switch to backup compressors or initiate auto-shutdown protection.
All parameters — including temperature, pressure, and performance curves — can be monitored remotely via an integrated computer control system, ensuring 24/7 operational safety.
2.Key Installation Requirements for Explosion-Proof Cold Rooms
2.1 Site Selection
The installation site should be away from densely populated areas and located on stable, level ground.
Before construction, soil hardness and foundation bearing capacity must be evaluated to ensure structural safety. Ideally, the cold room floor level should be slightly below ground level — minimizing external impact in case of an accident.
2.2 Fire Resistance Requirements
Explosion-proof cold storage panels must provide at least 3 hours of fire resistance.
The insulation core material should not only have excellent thermal performance and structural strength but also meet strict fireproof standards, ensuring full compliance with safety regulations.
2.3 Temperature Stability
The cold storage must maintain stable internal temperatures according to the precise storage requirements of the products.
Even during defrost cycles or frequent loading/unloading operations, temperature fluctuations must remain minimal to prevent potential hazards or product spoilage.
