Purging and pressurization is an explosion protection method (Ex p) that uses compressed air or inert gas to eliminate and prevent hazardous substances such as gas, dust, or a combination of the two, from entering the enclosure and causing a fire or explosion.
“Compared to explosionproof or flameproof protection methods, this protection concept is more cost-effective and prevents an explosion. The international standards IEC 60079-2 and NFPA 496 define the regulations for purged and pressurized enclosures for the protection of electrical equipment, such as switch and control cabinets, analysis devices, and large motors.”
Positive Pressure Explosion-Proof Electrical Control Cabinet, as a Purge & Pressurization System (hereinafter referred to as control cabinet) is a positive-pressure explosion-proof electrical control cabinet was engineered and proven to stand up to the rigors and harsh conditions of corrosive and hazardous environments based on IEC60079-0:2017, IEC60079-2:2014 and IEC60079-31:2013, marked Ex pzc db eb ib IIC T4 Gc/Ex pzc IIIC T130℃ Dc.
Applications
- Oil and natural gas refineries Some water treatment applications
- Offshore oil platforms Gasoline storage or refueling areas
- Flour/feed mills Grain processing facilities
- Paint booths Textile manufacturing plants
- Chemical manufacturing plants Large scale lumber facilities
Work Principle
Air purge system decompress explosive air and filter into clean safe air into the cabinet. After a specified period of time to purge, the explosive gases and dust inside the enclosure can be removed, and continue to purge to maintain positive pressure, also known as minimum overpressure, so that the pressurized enclosure inside can be a safe place. energy can be applied to the ignition-capable electrical equipment within the pressurized enclosure and it can be operated normally.
The pressurized enclosure exchange air by the manual air valve(damper) and pressure-reducing valve to make the pressure inside the shell stable between 400Pa ~ 600Pa; in normal operation by the manual valve, pressure-reducing valve and throttle valve, so that the pressure inside the shell is stable between 60Pa ~ 180Pa, ensure the safety of the equipment in the hazardous area.
Equipped with an automatic exhaust device to automatically exhaust when high pressure occurs; the exhaust port is equipped with a spark particle baffle; the air purge system is also with a pointer differential pressure gauge to detect the pressure of the positive pressure chamber in real time.
The power supply of the flameproof electrical cabinet and the positive pressure enclosure are electrically interlocked. The whole positive pressure control cabinet can only be operated after the positive pressure shell has been quickly ventilated and the positive pressure has been established in the shell, the closing indicator light is on, and the main power supply is energized.
