High pressure sodium lights
High pressure sodium lights
(OP)
Can anyone comment on the use of high pressure sodium (HPS) lights and use of them in conveyor tunnels. The tunnel has dust due to the products being conveyed. Products like coke, quartz, chromium oxide. Does the light have any affect on the dust or can an expolsion occurr. Will the light travel through dust. The dust is not thick as in smog. People do work in the tunnel and use a dust mask.
Thanks

If the tunnel is classified as hazardous, get an appropriately rated explosionproof fixture.
You do need to find out about the classification. Without seeing it, I'd be inclined to call it a dust explosion hazard since you're bouncing that stuff around on a conveyor.
Wait for others to respond - another eng-tipper may have experience in a similar application.
Best to you,
