The Purge and Pressurization Compendium – one part of an invaluable global explosion protection series – is available as a free educational download on the company’s website.

Various protection methods can be used when placing equipment into hazardous locations, but none match the versatility, reliability, and efficiency of purge and pressurization. With its straightforward method of protection, purge and pressurization delivers a truly simple and cost-effective solution for using general-purpose equipment in hazardous locations.

The new Purge and Pressurization Compendium by Pepperl+Fuchs is a guide to understanding what purge and pressurization is as a protection method for operating electrical and mechanical equipment in hazardous areas.

Pepperl+Fuchs’ engineers have expanded and enhanced the previous purge and pressurization catalog, answering the most commonly asked questions and providing a plethora of knowledge on the subject by keeping ideas simple and user-friendly.

The Compendium details the requirements for the different types of purge and pressurization, including the installation and operation of the different systems. A brief introduction to the NEC/CE and IEC standards that cover purge and pressurization gives insight on what is required for the certification of a complete system.  This guide also covers what many users may neglect to consider when using this method of protection, and assists new and experienced users of this method of protection with future designs.

The all-new Purge and Pressurization Compendium is available FREE on the Pepperl+Fuchs website, along with information on all of the company’s purge and pressurization products.
