Abstract

[0002] Generally, explosion-proof optical switches are installed in explosion-proof and intrinsically safe explosion-proof cabinets. The optical modules on the optical ports of the switches are also placed in explosion-proof cabinets. The optical modules will generate heat as long as they are powered on, regardless of whether data is transmitted or not. Moreover, the heat generated by the optical modules is particularly large. The explosion-proof cabinet is a closed shell, and it is difficult for the internal heat to dissipate. In addition, the explosion-proof shell is not convenient to open, and it is not allowed to open the explosion-proof shell with power on in hazardous areas. Therefore, unused optical modules will cause the temperature inside the explosion-proof cabinet to rise, affecting the stability of the system and reducing the life of components.
