Description
Expo’s MiniPurge dust systems provide a pressurisation only protection solution for electrical enclosures and other equipment installed in Zone 21/22 or Class II Div 1/2 hazardous environments.
International standards require that the enclosure is first cleaned to remove any accumulations of dust prior to operation. Once the enclosure is free of dust and sealed, the MiniPurge DP can be started. After successful pressurisation, the equipment can be energised either automatically or manually, depending on the hazardous area requirements.
