In a confined space, it is easy to be ignited or even explode, in case of open flame, high temperature, static electricity, etc. 4.1.2 Hydrogen-oxygen mixed gas may leak, through porous materials, mounting surfaces or sealing surfaces. The hydrogen-oxygen mixed gas will spread rapidly after leakage, resulting in the continuous expansion of flammable and explosive areas, meanwhile the diffusion process is invisible to the naked eye. The main factors, that affect the leakage and diffusion of hydrogen-oxygen mixed gas, include leakage port area, leakage pressure, leakage location, ambient temperature, ambient wind speed, obstacles. 4.1.3 Backfire may occur when the hydrogen-oxygen generator, that uses an open flame at the end, is used. Backfire may cause the hydrogen-oxygen mixed gas to burn and explode, in its pipeline AND in the hydrogen-oxygen generator. 4.2 Risk control 4.2.1 When using the hydrogen-oxygen generator, it shall be used immediately after production; it is forbidden to store and compress the hydrogen-oxygen mixed gas. 4.2.2 Under the premise of meeting the demand, control the usage of hydrogen-oxygen mixed gas. 4.2.3 The maximum working pressure of the hydrogen-oxygen generator should not be greater than 0.2 MPa. Under the conditions that meet the requirements of use, the working pressure of the equipment should be less than 0.1 MPa. 4.2.4 Where the hydrogen-oxygen generator is used, the accumulation of hydrogen- oxygen mixed gas in a confined space is not allowed. 4.2.5 The hydrogen-oxygen generator and its main pipeline shall be provided with safety devices, such as overpressure relief devices and flame arresters. 4.2.6 The place, where the hydrogen-oxygen generator is used, shall be equipped with fire extinguishing equipment, such as carbon dioxide fire extinguisher or dry powder fire extinguisher. 4.3 Safety level 4.3.1 Hydrogen-oxygen generators shall be classified into safety levels, according to working pressure and PV, as shown in Table 1. installed, shall be fortified according to Zone 2, meanwhile it shall comply with the relevant provisions of GB 50058. 5.1.3 The water pressure of cooling water should be 0.2 MPa ~ 0.4 MPa. 5.1.4 The gas source pressure of the compressed air, for instruments or pneumatics, shall be determined according to relevant requirements; its quality shall comply with the provisions of GB/T 4830. 5.2 Installation site of hydrogen-oxygen generator 5.2.1 The setting location of the hydrogen-oxygen generator shall be determined, according to the gas supply scale and the use characteristics of the hydrogen-oxygen mixed gas. Hydrogen-oxygen generators, which have a safety level 1 and 2, should be arranged near the outer wall in the building (workshop). 5.2.2 There shall be no sundries, in the place where the hydrogen-oxygen generator is installed; the passage shall be kept unobstructed. 5.2.3 The partition wall of the special room for the hydrogen-oxygen generator shall be a solid wall of non-combustible body; it shall be provided with a fire door, which opens to the outside.
