Explosion-proof fans and ordinary fans are two different types of equipment used to provide air flow and ventilation. However, there are significant differences between them in terms of working principles, materials and design. The differences between explosion-proof fans and ordinary fans, as well as the advantages of explosion-proof fans in terms of safety and environmental protection as following:

1.Explosion-proof Design: 

The most important feature of explosion-proof fans is their specially designed explosion-proof function. They use explosion-proof housings or explosion-proof equipment to resist explosions caused by sparks of flammable gases, steam and dust. Compared with ordinary fans, explosion-proof fans are more suitable for use in flammable and explosive environments, such as chemical plants, oil fields, mines and other places.

2.Material Selection:

In order to ensure the safety of explosion-proof fans, their structural components and shells are usually made of special materials that are resistant to high temperatures and corrosion, such as flame retardant materials or stainless steel. These materials can resist the erosion of the external environment and the corrosion of chemical substances, while providing air flow and ensuring the reliability of the equipment.

3.Electrical characteristics:

The electrical part of explosion-proof fans usually uses explosion-proof motors, which meet relevant explosion-proof standards and can work in hazardous environments without sparking or overheating. The electrical part of ordinary fans does not have these characteristics. Explosion-proof motors can provide higher safety and prevent fire accidents.

4.Load Capacity:

Since explosion-proof fans are usually used in dangerous places such as squeezing air, removing harmful gases, and handling combustible dust, their load capacity is higher than that of ordinary fans. Explosion-proof fans can handle larger gas flow and pressure to meet the needs of special environments.

5. Safety and Environmental Protection:

Explosion-proof fans ensure the safety of personnel and the environment while ensuring the normal operation of the equipment. They are suitable for the treatment of flammable, explosive and harmful gases, can avoid accidents such as fire, explosion and pollution, and greatly reduce the risk in the workplace.
