Large Enclosure Purge and Pressurization

Customers that want to use large enclosures using purging either didn’t have the option or had an extended wait period for purging. Customers were forced to segment the enclosure into smaller enclosures increasing the size of the system and having to interconnect the enclosure together using Ex methods. This customer needs a system that is not only certified for large enclosures, but can also purge the enclosure faster and keep enclosure pressure low.
