The heating system shall not function unless forced ventilation or recirculation system is in operation.
The air generator inlet and burner flame shall be installed out of the spraying area and outside zone 2.
5.8.1.3.2
Over-temperature
Combined booths shall be equipped with a temperature limiting devices which in case of over-temperature (e.g. by
exceeding the maximum allowed temperature) will cut off the heating system (see 5.8.2.1).
Restart of the heating system shall not be automatic.
The temperature control device shall indicate the temperature inside the combined booth and the set point.
The temperature control and temperature limiting device shall be independent.
Temperature limitation shall not be required, if the heating medium, even in the case of operational failure, cannot
elevate the combined booth temperature above the maximum drying temperature.
After a breakdown of the heating device a purge of the air, within the combined booth to atmosphere shall be
activated.
It shall not be possible to start the heating device until this purge has been completed under the condition
described in 5.8.2.1.
5.8.1.3.3
Heating inside combined booth
Heating devices located inside the combined booth (e.g. IR-System, catalytic system) shall be designed so that
they are not capable of igniting paint aerosols and solvent vapours.
The following additional measures shall be taken:
Heating devices shall be permanently installed inside the booth;
in the spray mode an IR-System shall be protected against the coating material by a hood.
Safe distance between heating elements and coated surfaces shall be stipulated (see 7.2.2).
5.8.1.4
Fire extinguishing equipment
Manually operated or automatic fire extinguishing equipment shall be provided.

Installation of automatic fire extinguishing equipment depends on the size of the combined booth, the presence of
operator and the risk of fire (nature of coating material, spray processes). EN 13478 shall be taken into account.
5.8.2
Explosion prevention and protection
The requirements shall ensure that the:
Concentration of flammable substances shall be maintained below 25 % of LEL by forced ventilation,
ignition sources are either eliminated or reduced (see EN 1127-1).
5.8.2.1
Forced ventilation
The following requirements shall apply during both operation modes of the combined booth.
Dilution of the flammable substances is achieved by forced ventilation which shall be calculated:
a) for the spraying mode (see example of calculation in annex A);
20
BS EN 13355:2004+A1:2009
EN 13355:2004+A1:2009 (E)
b) for the drying mode (annex A and annex B of EN 1539:2000).

The solvent mixture and release rates shall be taken into consideration.
Forced ventilation shall ensure uniform removal and not permit pockets of flammable substances to build up to
levels above the admissible concentration.
The forced ventilation shall at all times scavenge all spaces, sections, ducts and exhaust systems of the combined
booth, preventing concentrations of flammable substances above the limiting level anywhere (with the exception of
the boundary layer of the coated material and the spraying cone).
Concentration of flammable substances shall be limited to 25 % of LEL.
Where dampers are used a minimum volume flow shall be ensured even with the dampers set at minimum position
in order to guarantee the minimum exhaust flow rate.
Heating source failure shall be followed by forced ventilation (see 5.8.1.3).
The forced ventilation shall operate to purge the total space with a quantity of fresh air equal to or more than five
times the total space, before the heating system can be restarted in drying mode (see also 5.8.1.3.2).

restarted when ventilation is restored.
The heating system shall not function unless the forced ventilation system is operating.
5.8.2.2
Hazardous area
The classification of hazardous zones is an integral part of the safety concept for explosion prevention. The ignition
prevention category of equipment and components implemented to combined booth is dependent on limitation of
flammable substance concentration by forced ventilation.
As the concentration of flammable substances is limited to 25 % of LEL, the internal volume of the combined booth
including ducts for recirculated and exhaust air and in external volumes but within a distance up to 1 m from
permanent openings are classified as zone 2 during spray mode.
NOTE
Doors are not considered to be permanent openings.
5.8.2.3

General
In order to prevent hazardous by explosive atmospheres, the design and selection of electrical and non electrical
equipment shall ensure that ignition sources are avoided in any part of the system, where areas with explosion
hazard are classified (see 5.8.2.2) If electrical and non electrical equipment is implemented according to their
manufacturers instruction, then the completed system is of the same category of protection.

For motor outside the combined booths at least IP44 of EN 60529 shall be used. Motors shall not be
positioned within an exhaust air duct,
Control panel shall be situated outside the combined booth.
5.8.2.3.3
Non electrical equipment

designed and constructed according to good engineering practice and shall be subjected to an ignition hazard
assessment in accordance with 5.2 of EN 13463-1:2001 to provide the protection required. The equipment shall
satisfy the requirements of EN 13463-1and EN 13463-5.
Category 3 equipment for installation in zone 2 shall not contain any effective ignition source in normal operation.
In particular the following requirements shall be observed:

A.2 Examples of calculation

A.2.1 Determination of concentration of flammable solvents on base of a given mean design air
velocity
Assumptions
Combined booth/ Spraying mode with hand-held spray gun
Size of the combined booth width 4 m - length 8 m (inside)
Design air velocity: 0,3 m/s
Mmax = 9 kg/h
LEL =40 g/m
K1 = 0,85 (85 %)
K2 = 0,80 (80 %)
K3 = 3
Q : 0,3m/s x 4m x 8m x 3 600 s/h = 34 560 m /h
The minimum airflow Qmin can be calculated from the air velocity v and the width w and length l of the cross section
of airflow:
Qmin = v x w x l
According to (3):
According to (2):
According to (1):
(3)
Q min = 0,3 m/s x 4 m x 8 m x 3 600 s/h = 34 560 m/h
c=
9 000 g / h x 0,85 x 0,8 x 3

= 0,53 g / m
34 560
c LEL =
100 x 0,53 g / m
= 1,3 % of LEL
40 g / m
Result:
If the forced ventilation of a combined booth is designed for a mean air velocity of v = 0,3 m/s, (and further
assumptions described above are valid) then an nominal concentration of cLEL= 1,3 % of LEL is maintained.
However the safety factor used in the calculation may lead to a true average concentration of 1/3 of that nominal
value.
Since cLEL = 1,3 % of LEL is far below the allowed maximum concentration value of 25 % of LEL , the combined
booth is operated in safe condition.

A.2.2 Determination of admissible maximum quantity of liquid organic coating material sprayed
per hour (Mmax) on base of given mean design air velocity and a special exposure limit
Assumptions

Size of the combined booth:
width 4 m length 8 m (inside)
design air velocity: 0,3 m/s
Mmax = ? kg/h
exposure limit for toluol c = 0,190 g/m
k1 = 0,85
k2 = 0,80
k3 = 3
According to (3):
According (2):
Q min = 0,3 m/s x 4 m x 8 m x 3 600 s/h = 34 560 m/h
c=
M max =
M max x k 1 x k 2 x k 3
Qmin
c x Qmin
k1 x k 2 x k 3
0,190 g / m x 34 560 m / h
0,85 x 0,80 x 3
= 3,2 kg / h
=
M max
Result:
If the forced ventilation of a combined booth is designed for a mean air velocity of v = 0,3 m/s, and if the lowest
exposure limit to be observed of the coating material processed is 0,19 g/m, then an admissible Mmax = 3,2 kg/h
