Naval

El sector naval

El sector naval es uno de los más importantes y complejos de la economía mundial, sobre todo en lo que atañe al transporte marítimo.

El transporte de mercancías es un componente fundamental de la infraestructura logística, tanto en aguas interiores como en las marítimas, y es esencial para el comercio mundial, ya que por mar viajan carburantes, recursos naturales, productos químicos, productos agrícolas y bienes de consumo, procedentes de países productores y dirigidos a países consumidores de todo el mund. 

Los tres elementos en los que se basa

Este sistema se basa principalmente en tres elementos:

  • los puertos, que representan las terminales en las que convergen las mercancías y que deben contar con todas las instalaciones necesarias para la carga/descarga (muelles, grúas de carga, zonas de almacenamiento, medios de manutención y aduanas) y satisfacer las necesidades de los buques que atracan y zarpan (medios de asistencia, sistemas de reabastecimiento, diques secos);
  • los buques mercantes, cargueros y metaneros que transportan las mercancías y los carburantes desde el puerto de origen al de destino;
  • las interconexiones con las redes terrestres, a través de las cuales se pueden distribuir las mercancías desde y hacia el interior.

Los productos de Cortem Group para la industria naval ofrecen elevadas prestaciones y fiabilidad en condiciones extremas. Presentan una excelente protección contra los golpes y la corrosión debida a salpicaduras de agua salada, garantizando un alto nivel de seguridad que se mantiene a largo plazo.

The 'Ex d' protection method: electrical cable installation and cable gland selection criteria

The most used entry systems are: entry with sealing fitting, cable entry with Ex barrier cable gland, cable entry with Ex cable gland with sealing ring. When we talk about electrical systems with electrical cable installation, entries are made using a cable gland, which can be of two types: barrier or with sealing ring.

The ‘Ex d’ protection method: electrical conductors in metallic protective tube

In sites where there is a risk of the formation of an explosive atmosphere, we often find the electrical conduit in a metal protective tube (also called conduit conduit). Although it has recently been joined by more versatile armored and non-armored cable systems, with cable gland entry, its use is recommended in plants where production or use and maintenance activities can present dangerous situations for the integrity of the cables.

The history of explosion-proof protection modes - Part II

Today we define the methods of protection as techniques that are made available to us by harmonized standards, to satisfy the Essential Health and Safety Requirements. It appears clear how the first decades of the twentieth century proved to be fundamental for the development of the techniques underlying the current methods of protection.

The ‘Ex d’ protection method: the function of the conduit sealing fittings

Sealing fittings are often considered only as secondary or minor components, but the safety of an installation with metal electrical conduits and related explosion-proof enclosures depends on them. The main function of a conduit sealing fitting is to prevent the propagation of an explosion from the inside of the ‘Ex d’ flameproof enclosure to the outside.

The history of explosion-proof protection modes - Part 1

Nowadays, the classification in an area at risk of explosion concerns many sectors of the industry and includes the use of the most diverse equipment. This great variety of devices and applications must not make us forget that the origin of explosion risk containment techniques lies down there, in those dark mines where it all began.

The 'Ex d' type of protection: explosion-proof joints

Explosion-proof joints are one of the basic aspects of the protection offered by an equipment or an explosion-proof enclosure. For this reason, understanding their function is a prerequisite for the correct use and the proper maintenance of all electrical devices that adopt this type of protection.

The method of protection ‘Ex d’: general aspects

The 'Ex d' type of protection, now referred to as 'Ex db', is based on a simple theoretical concept: containment by means of a sturdy casing and flame retardancy. Its success is due to this simplicity, it is in fact one of the first methods of protection developed in the mining industry and still today it is one of the most widespread in areas classified for potentially explosive atmospheres.

Atex Directive 2014/34 / EU: legislation and state of the art

A fundamental principle of the ATEX Directive 2014/34 / EU, shared with the other Union directives, is the limitation of legislative harmonization to essential health and safety requirements of public interest. Within this legislative harmonization, a role of primary importance is played by the harmonized technical legislation and the concept of the state of the art. The ATEX Directive refers to this concept as a requirement requested of manufacturers.

The EPLs and the main methods of protection

Each equipment that must be installed in an ATEX classified area must have a certain level of protection, indicated in the legislation with the acronym EPL (Equipment protection Level). The level of protection is obtained by applying technical regulations that define the protection methods. There are many ways of protection, some have a historical origin, others are more recent...
