ZINACA Explosion-Proof Flow Switch Used with Oil Pump in Oil Heater On-Site

Project Background: In industries where hazardous environments are present, ensuring safety while maintaining operational efficiency is critical. ZINACA provides high-quality, reliable instrumentation designed to meet the needs of such environments. Recently, ZINACA’s Explosion-Proof Flow Switch was successfully applied in combination with an oil pump in an oil heater system at a petrochemical plant, ensuring safe and reliable operation.

The application involved integrating the flow switch with the oil pump used in the heating system, where controlling the oil flow and preventing pump failure in hazardous conditions was essential.

Client Requirements: The petrochemical company required a flow monitoring solution that could:

· Detect any interruption or failure in the oil flow within the heating system.

· Ensure safe operation in an explosive atmosphere, meeting explosion-proof safety standards.

· Provide real-time alerts if oil flow conditions become abnormal, protecting the pump and the heating system from damage.

· Ensure durability and low maintenance for reliable performance in the harsh environment of the oil heating system.
