APPLICATION
Purge and Pressurization is a protection method used with Type FINISH
4, 4X and 12 (IP54 recommended minimum) enclosures. The Brushed 316 Stainless Steel
enclosure is initially purged to remove any internal explosive gases
or dust. Once this is accomplished, the enclosure is pressurized OPTIONS
with a protective air or inert gas supply. This provides a positive Service Parts Kit for both Leak Compensation and Continuous Flow
internal enclosure pressure which keeps any external explosive models
gases or dust from entering the enclosure.
MODIFICATION AND CUSTOMIZATION
The two methods of purge and pressurization offered are Leak Hoffman excels at modifying and customizing products to your
Compensation and Continuous Flow. specifications. Cutouts for mounting purge and pressurization
devices can be easily added to your enclosure. Contact your local
Leak Compensation Hoffman Representative or Distributor for more information.
Maintains positive pressure by compensating for losses. System
consists of Control Unit and Relief Valve. Note:
For all IEC and ATEX applications, the final or complete integrated
Certification Type Y and Z models assembly must be submitted to a notified body for certification.
