Conditions and knowledge of solvent loading, temperatures, solvent vapour concentration and the degree of product dryness can vary considerably and thus increase the risk from hazards. 3.3 continuous flow dryer dryer with openings through which the materials being processed can be introduced and removed (conveyed) continuously NOTE Continuous flow dryers can be divided into sections in order to influence individual steps of the drying process.

NOTE 2 Mixtures containing solvents can be printing and coating materials, e.g. inks, varnishes, lacquers. NOTE 3 Solvents are also used as cleaning or washing agents, and could enter the dryer. NOTE 4 The terms "flammable" and "combustible" are equivalent in this European Standard. 3.10 released flammable substances gases and vapours released during drying which could form an explosive mixture with air SIST EN 1539:2010



EN 1539:2009 (E) 10 3.11 coating material product, in liquid or in paste or powder form, that when applied to a substrate forms a film possessing protective, decorative and/or other specific properties [EN ISO 4618:2006] NOTE 1 In general coating materials consist of binders, pigments, dyestuff, fillers and other additives. Moreover, liquid coating materials can contain solvents. NOTE 2 Coating materials are, for instance, paints, lacquers, varnishes, impregnating resin varnishes, paste fillers, filling materials, impregnating agents, anti-noise agents, fire resisting agents, stains, burnishes, flock, adhesives, sealing compounds, as well as coating powders. 3.12 drying temperature higher temperature value of the heating medium (air or gas within the total space) at contact to the materials being processed or of the printing or coating material during drying 3.13 ignition temperature (of a combustible gas or a combustible liquid) lowest temperature of a heated wall as determined under specified test conditions, at which ignition of a combustible substance in the form of gas or vapour mixture with air will occur
[EN 13237:2003, 3.66] NOTE The terms "flammable" and "combustible" are equivalent in this European Standard. 3.14 flammability temperature lowest temperature at which symptoms of combustion can be found on the coated or uncoated material NOTE Flammability temperature of a material is a safety parameter for which a continuous combustion could be stimulated under specified test conditions. It could be determined for combustible solid substances such as paper or similar base stock and their coating. Signs of combustion are flames, glowing or pyrogenic symptoms. 3.15 limiting temperature corresponds to the lower of the following values:  the flammability temperature (see 3.14); or  0,8 times the ignition temperature (see 3.13) NOTE See 6.4.2 of EN 1127-1:2007. 3.16 lower explosion limit (LEL) lower limit of the explosion range NOTE 1 "Explosion limit" and "ignition limit" are equivalent. In accordance with international usage only the term "explosion limit" is used in this standard. See 3.74 of EN 13237:2003. NOTE 2 Explosion limits are the limits of the explosion range. Explosion range is the range of concentration of a flammable substance within air, in which an explosion can occur. See 3.33 of EN 13237:2003. 3.17 explosive mixture mixture with air and combustible substances in the form of gases, vapours, mist or dust, in which after ignition has occurred, combustion spreads to the entire unburned mixture

For example, releases from seals which rely on wetting by fluid which is being pumped are considered to be minor releases. Failures (such as breakdown of pump seals, flange gaskets or releases of substances caused by accidents) which involve repair or shut-down are not considered to be part of normal operation. See 3.70 of EN 13237:2003. 3.20 required exhaust flow rate controllable exhaust flow rate maintaining the concentration of released flammable substances within the total space at any time below the maximum admissible concentration 3.21 minimum exhaust flow rate constant air flow rate maintaining the maximum concentration of released substances within the total space below the maximum admissible concentration 3.22 maximum admissible quantity of released flammable substances maximum quantity of flammable substances which may be released within the chamber dryer per charge, corresponding to the minimum forced ventilation flow rate with consideration of the drying temperature corrections 3.23 maximum admissible throughput of flammable substances maximum quantity of flammable substances per unit time which may be released within a continuous flow dryer corresponding to the minimum forced ventilation flow rate with consideration of the drying temperature corrections 3.24 maximum admissible concentration of flammable substances concentration of flammable substances within the total space of the dryer, which shall not be exceeded 3.25 total space net volume within the dryer which could contain flammable substances
