Explosion Proof Lighting For Chimneys
Most important points to night marking chimneys
Number and types of lighting levels (structure height)
H < 45m
1 level of low intensity obstruction lights shall be used
45m < H < 105m
2 levels of obstruction lights shall be used: top level with medium intesity, intermediate with low intensity
105m < H < 210m
4 levels shall be used: top with medium intesity, 1st intermediate with low intensity, 2nd intermediate with medium intensity, lower level with low intensity
Number of lights per level (structure diameter)
D < 6m
obstruction lights shall be used (120°) for chimneys with circular base < 6m
D > 6m
4 obstruction lights shall be used (90°) for chimneys with circular base > 6m
- lights shall be put between 1,5-3 m below the top of the chimney in order to avoid a potential disruption by gases or smoke;
- the number of lights to be installed at the top and at each level depends on the diameter of the structure;
- the number of light levels depends on the height of the structure;
- lights shall be certified in accordance with ATEX/IECEx beacuse they are installed in hazardous and harsh environments.
