The Lighting Guide to Some Special Workshops of Metallurgical Factory

AGC Lighting

When designing lighting projects for metallurgical factories,it is required to determine the lighting modes and types ,select lighting sources reasonably and establish relevant maintenance and management system of lighting equipment in the view of the working condition of metallurgical factories. Lighting contractors should do everything in their power to make the industrial lighting of metallurgical factories meet the need for production site and conform to the general requirement of constructing economical society.

As the public auxiliary facilities of metallurgical enterprises, industrial lighting has been paid more and more attention. Good lighting conditions on the production site is not only to meet the requirements of basic lighting, but also can significantly improve the site operating environment, improve the work efficiency of operators, effectively reduce equipment failures and safety accidents. The design and application of industrial lighting should not only meet the requirements of working environment and safety, but also meet the requirements of building a conservation-oriented society at present.The efficiency, economy and rationality of industrial lighting can be reflected through the reasonable selection of light sources and the optimization of lighting design.

lighting design and lighting selection 

Because of the complex site environment of metallurgical enterprises and Its diverse work areas, plus, different areas have different lighting requirements, it is necessary to comprehensively take lighting design and lighting selection into account.

The lighting design of  metallurgical enterprises can be divided into several types according to the nature of working areas . here are some special work areas where the lighting design needs special attention. In the selection of lighting, the choice of light source is very important.It should be considered from the applicability, comfort and economy of light source.

1) smelting workshop

smelting workshop, here ,  specially refers to the workshop where smelting furnace is placed ,mainly used in pyrometallurgy. Pyrometallurgy is a metallurgical process in which metals or metal compounds are extracted from ores at high temperatures.. so the temperature here is higher than other workshops . and we all know high temperature is a quite harmful factor affecting the lifespan of lighting fixture .when designing the lighting application here, a led high bay light  that can withstand high temperature is worth considering.

luminaires recommendation : a led high bay light  that can withstand high temperature  environment

 led high bay can withstand high temp 

2) electrolysis workshop

Electrolysis workshop is a workshop where metal is purified and enriched by electrolysis technology. The main equipment in the electrolysis workshop includes electrolytic cells and corrosive materials, electrolyte and circulating pipes, pumps, ventilation facilities, yin-yang units, etc. Generally, the corrosion of the electrolysis workshop is higher, so in the lighting design of the electrolysis workshop, the corrosion resistance of the lamps that used here should be considered thoroughly. 

luminaires recommendation :  corrosion-resistant led high bay light 

3) transformer room

The transformer room of metallurgical factory is a special area for placing transformer conversion cabinet that can turn high voltage into low voltage, also is a separate room. Commonly ,this area is close to power source and is located in place less dust, less moisture, small vibration, no corrosive medium, no flammable explosive items and where road is clear. as this is the power distribution core control room of the whole factory, the lighting design here has its unique requirements.

As this is the power distribution core control room of the whole factory, the lighting design here has its unique requirements.Generally industrial lighting fixtures with emergency backup is line with the lighting design requirement of transformer room. and the emergency time should not be less than 30 minutes. If this room is located underground where the humidity is relatively high. Moisture-proof ability also should be taken into account. A Tri-proof lamp with emergency backup is a good option in such case.

luminaires recommendation : 1)  industrial lighting fixtures with emergency backup

4) heat-treatment workshop

Heat treatment in a smelter is an important procedure immediately after the completion of the forging process. Heat treatment workshop is a more complex workshop. The main functions of this workshop are forging parts liquid preparation treatment, product cleaning spray treatment, quenching treatment, quenching waste-water treatment, rework products return to furnace treatment etc. This workshop is filled with dust, high temperature, acid-base corrosive liquid, high pressure steam. So when getting down to the light design of heat-treatment workshop , these obvious influence factors must be focused on , otherwise it need to replace lamps frequently which will cost extra expense.

luminaires recommendation : high IP rating +high temperature resistant  +corrosion-resistant + resistant to high pressure steam

5) raw material stacking area

The reason why this area is also considered as a special area is that, according to the relevant workshop dust detection report, the dust density here is higher than that of other places. Therefore, in terms of lighting design, a lamp with excellent dust-proof performance is more suitable for such a place.This not only requires a higher IP rating for lighting products, but also hope the shell of the lamp can have a round curve  to prevent the accumulation of dust.

luminaires recommendation :  high IP rating with smooth housing led high bay light 

In a word, the development trend of future lighting is efficient, comfortable and energy-saving.Although industrial lighting is an auxiliary facility for metallurgical factory, it has great potential to improve the light environment of various special workshops, save energy and reduce consumption in metallurgical enterprises by rationally selecting lighting methods and types, optimizing efficient and energy-saving lighting sources, strengthening management and maintenance.
