Purge+Pressurization Systems

Pepperl+Fuchs Bebco EPS Purge/ Pressurization products offer a safe and economical approach to installing electrical equipment in hazardous locations. By creating a safe area inside a standard enclosure, general-purpose equipment can be used in hazardous (classified) areas.

With Pepperl+Fuchs' Bebco EPS Purging/ Pressurization components and accessories:

• General-purpose equipment can be installed in the protected enclosure and used safely in the hazardous area.
• Flammable gas collected inside the enclosure is removed and the accumulation of gases or ignitable dust within the pressurized enclosure is prevented.

One of the best benefits of purging / pressurization is use of the standard Type 4/12 enclosure as the protected enclosure. This saves money, weight and space over explosion proof methods.

Pepperl+Fuchs offers a full range of purge and pressurization equipment to meet the needs of your application. The Pepperl+Fuchs Systems and Solutions group can also design custom enclosure solutions to meet your specifications.

The Pepperl+Fuchs Bebco EPS Type X purge system reduces the classification within the protected enclosures from Division 1 to non-hazardous. General-purpose equipment can be operated within the protected enclosure.

Note: Vents are required for most purge enclosures

The Pepperl+Fuchs Type X purge system is fully automatic and performs critical purging, pressurization and monitoring of the protected enclosure. It is designed according to NFPA 496 and ISA 12.4 standards.
