Purge and Pressurization Systems
Purge and Pressurization for Marine Communication Platforms

A provider of marine communication platforms wanted to suit their system for use in explosion-hazardous atmospheres by protecting electrical components inside a purged domed enclosure. Therefore, the purge and pressurization system not only has to meet marine requirements but also has to be able to cope with extended temperature ranges, and needs to be certified for hazardous gases and dusts.

The Pepperl+Fuchs 6000 Series purge and pressurization system already met DNV marine certification and the marine standard for control room requirements. The system is also certified for hazardous gases and dust. Although the combined certification for dust and gas is not defined in IEC 60079, the use of the 6000 Series in both environments has previously been accepted by the certification body. The control unit is capable of fully automatic operation without the need for an operator interface and has degree of protection (IP66).
