KEMP, Texas, Oct. 11, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Larson Electronics, a Texas-based company with over 40 years of experience spearheading the industrial lighting sector, announced the release of an explosion proof extraction room equipment package designed to turn 20-foot containers into complete extraction rooms. The package includes (1) exit sign, (2) surface mount 48" LED light fixtures, (1) 3/4" feed through, single pole switch, (2) 3/4" feed through, 125V rated explosion proof outlets, (2) 24" exhaust fans and one alcohol sensor, all C1D1 rated.

The EXP-EXTRM-20FT-PKG-V1 is an explosion proof extraction room package that includes everything needed to convert a 20-foot container into a Class I Division 1 explosion proof extraction room.

This package includes a single C1D1 explosion proof exit sign that is self-testing and comes equipped with one, 1.1-watt LED lamp and an emergency battery pack. Thanks to a 3.6-volt NiCad battery this light will continue to operate for at least 3 hours in the event of a power outage. This sign features brown-out, short circuit, voltage surge protection, and low voltage disconnect, providing failsafe exit notification for workers in hazardous environments.

The two included 28-watt C1D1 LED light fixtures carry paint spray booth certifications and are equipped with Larson’s special T-Series bulbs. Each lamp produces 3,500 lumens for a total of 7,000 lumens of high-powered illumination. These second-generation LED tube lamps have been re-engineered with a slimmer profile, lighter weight and increased performance.

An explosion proof 3/4" feed through, single pole switch provides operators with high quality control. This unit is built to handle loads of 120-77V AC up to 20 amps. The entire unit is constructed of malleable iron with an internal sealing chamber constructed of copper-free aluminum to protect all arcing devices.

Two explosion proof 3/4" feed through 125V C1D1 outlets are included with this extraction room package. These 20-amp rated receptacles are wet area rated and factory sealed. Deeply recessed engineering means accidental contact can be completely avoided, and a twist-lock design provides secure connection. These outlets include both switch circuit breaking protection, as well as switch inter-compatibility.

For safe ventilation of the extraction room, two ventilation fans and an alcohol sensor are included. The sensor is a C1D1 toxic gas transmitter fitted with an alcohol sensor that verifies response checks with real gas samples generated on demand. The sensor is designed to detect alcohol vapors at a range of 0-200ppm and can be configured by the user. Once the sensor detects a high level of butane concentration, one of the explosion roof fans will kick on. Both fans are 24” in diameter and move air at a rate up to 7820 CFM.

“This extraction room package has everything required to turn a container into an explosion proof extraction room from the lights, exit sign and fans, all the way down to the smaller components like an alcohol sensor, explosion proof plugs and switch,” said Rob Bresnahan, CEO of Larson Electronics LLC. “It’s incredibly convenient – you can turn any 20-foot container into a full equipped and functioning extraction room, which also essentially means this room is completely transportable.”
