2. IECEx Conditions of Certification & (Specials Conditions for Safe Use for ATEX)

When using the AO, AS and DT options, the recommendations for the additional requirements of Ex p apparatus contained within IEC/EN 60079-14 shall be applied. The installer/user shall ensure that the MiniPurge Control Unit is installed in accordance with the equipment certificate that covers the combination of the pressurized enclosure(s) and MiniPurge Control Unit. The values of the safety parameters shall be in accordance with the equipment certificate that covers the combination of the pressurized enclosure and MiniPurge Control Unit. This MiniPurge Control Unit shall be incorporated into equipment and the appropriate Conformity Assessment Procedures applied to the combination (as defined by Directive 94/9/EC). This certificate does not cover the combination. The purge controller, low temperature version, shall be protected by a safety related system that ensures that it cannot be energised if the temperature of the air inlet or purge controller falls below -20ºC. This system shall utilise the RTDs that are fitted to the purge controller to provide the appropriate level of system integrity, (i.e. a level of operational safety of Cat 3 according to EN 954-1 for ATEX Category 2 Zone 1 applications); note that these RTDs have not been assessed as a safety related device (in accordance with EHSR 1.5 of the Directive 94/9/EC).

3. Application Suitability

MiniPurge Systems are certified for use in Hazardous Areas, where the Hazardous Area is non-mining (i.e. above ground) and the hazard is caused by flammable gasses, vapours or dust. Depending on the model, the systems may be used in IECEx, ATEX Zone 1(21) - Category 2 and NEC 500 Class I, Div 1.

MiniPurge systems may be used for hazards of any gas group. However, apparatus

associated with the MiniPurge system, such as Intrinsically Safe signalling circuits and flameproof enclosures containing switching devices may be limited in their gas group. The certification documentation supplied with any such devices must be checked to ensure their suitability. This system is designed for use primarily with compressed air. Where other inert compressed gasses are used (Nitrogen, for example) the user must take suitable precautions so that the build up of the inert gas does not present a hazard to health. Consult the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) data sheet for the gas used. Where a risk of asphyxiation exists, a warning label must be fitted to the Pressurized Enclosure.

The following materials are used in the construction of MiniPurge systems. If substances that will adversely affect any of these materials are present in the surrounding environment, please consult Expo for further guidance. Materials of construction:

• Stainless Steel • Aluminium • Acrylic • Polycarbonate

• Mild (carbon) Steel • Nylon • Silicone Rubber • ABS

• Brass • Polyurethane • Neoprene • Glass Filled Polyester

4. Description and Principle of Operation

All Expo Technologies MiniPurge pressurization systems provide: a) a method of pressurizing a Pressurized Enclosure (PE) while at the same time compensating for any leakage, together with b) a method of purging the enclosure, before power is applied, to remove any flammable gas that may have entered the enclosure while it was not pressurized,

c) visual indication of the MiniPurge system status, and d) an output to provide remote indication or control.

The MiniPurge system comprises a number of component units. The units required depend on the type of system selected. These are summarised in Table 1. The general description and function of each is as follows: 4.1 Control Unit (CU) The Control Unit (CU) is the heart of the system. It contains a pneumatic logic circuit specially designed and built to control the functions required for purge and pressurization. For all systems this includes air filtration, pressure and purge flow measurement, electronic purge timing, and local visual indication of Pressurized/Alarm and flow sensed. It also provides the outputs for power and remote alarm control corresponding to the output type selected. 4.2 Relief Valve (RLV)

The Relief Valve unit is fitted to the PE to provide a means of limiting the maximum pressure experienced by the PE during operation. The RLV model number has a suffix giving the diameter of the valve aperture in millimetres e.g. RLV25 (= 25mm bore). The RLV also incorporates a Spark Arrestor to prevent sparks being ejected from the PE into the classified area. In Leakage Compensation systems, the RLV is combined with the flow measurement mechanism.

Figure 1. LC Relief Valve

4.3 Calibrated Outlet Orifice/Spark Arrestor (SAU) Continuous Flow systems incorporate the SAU25. This unit has a range of interchangeable calibrated orifice plates, which are used to measure the flow through the PE.

Figure 2 Spark Arrestor Type SAU25

4.4 The Methods of Pressurizing a) CF - Continuous Flow A Continuous Flow (CF) of protective gas is passed through the PE. Initially this flow is verified and performs the purging phase of the operation. When the purging phase is completed – i.e. the purge time has elapsed- the same flow of protective gas maintains the pressurization of the enclosure. This flow may be required to dilute an internal source of hazardous gas release.

b) LC - Leakage Compensation Initially a high flow of protective gas is passed through the enclosure. This flow is verified and performs the purging phase of the operation. When the purging phase is completed – i.e. the purge time has elapsed - the flow of protective gas is provided via an adjustable valve so that it just compensates for any leakage from the PE in addition to maintaining its pressurization. If leakage is less than 5 l/min then the LCV will be awkward to set. You will find that the RLV spring will cycle open and closed. If this happens contact our service department for advice.

4.5 Type of Output The functions of the outputs are power control and alarm/pressurized indication. Power control provides a signal to switch the power to the PE. Alarm output provides a passive signal to indicate remotely when the enclosure is not pressurized and an active signal when pressurized. a) PO- Pneumatic Output The power control and pressurized outputs are pneumatic signals, which may be used to operate other devices to provide power switching or alarm indication. The lack of any output signal indicates incomplete purge and alarm. In many instances these outputs may be

connected to the Expo range of MiniPurge Interface Unit s (MIU).

b) IS - Intrinsically Safe Output The power control and alarm outputs are volt free contacts which form part of an Intrinsically Safe (IS) circuit which then provides power control or alarm outputs in a safe (unclassified) area. These contacts must only be connected to IS circuits as the switch contacts are in the hazardous area. In many instances these outputs may be connected to the Expo range of

MiniPurge Interface Units (MIU).

c) PA - Power and Alarm

The terminal box is Increased Safety (Ex e) certified and incorporates the terminal connection points for the alarm and interlock circuits. All contacts provided are volt free (dry). Cable entry methods (for example conduit or cable glands) must be certified to IECEx, ATEX or INMETRO standards. The main requirement is that IP66 (or better) ingress protection must be provided by use of seals or washers.

d) HP – High Pressure Sensor If the pressure in the pressurized enclosure rises above the setting of the High Pressure sensor, the controller resets cutting the power to the enclosure. On detecting the overpressure an optional facility is available for the generation of an alarm or indicator. On systems with High Pressure sensor, the relief valve may be omitted.

5. Installation of the System

This MiniPurge is designed for use under normal industrial conditions of ambient temperature, humidity and vibration. Please consult Expo before installing this equipment in conditions that may cause stresses beyond normal industrial conditions.

The MiniPurge system shall be installed in accordance with relevant standards, such as IEC / EN 60079-14, NEC 500, NFPA 496 and any local codes of practice that are in force.

There are up to three components for the MiniPurge system, dependent upon the system type:

System type Control Unit (CU) Relief Valve (RLV)

Spark Arrestor Unit

Leakage Compensation YES YES Integral to RLV

Continuous Flow YES YES YES (SAU25)

Table 1 System Components

5.1 Control Unit (CU)

The MiniPurge system should be installed either directly on or close to the PE. See mounting details. Generally the most convenient arrangement is to install the CU on the top of the PE.

Must be mounted vertically as shown in MiniPurge Configuration XBR-7TD0-003. The CU can be mounted on the side of the PE using the rear mounting fixings. The piped connections to the PE should be made using metallic tube through suitable bulkhead connections. The CU can be remote mounted using the wall mounting bars (/WM option), and should be installed as close as possible to the PE. It should be installed so that the system indicators and certification labels may be readily observed. 5.2 Relief Valve (RLV) and Spark Arrestor Unit (SAU) To achieve efficient purging the points where air enters and exits the PE should normally be at opposite ends of the PE. These items must be mounted vertically. The RLV or SAU are recommended to be situated at the bottom, or on the side of the enclosure at the bottom, when the CU is top mounted on the enclosure, thus achieving top to bottom purging. The purge air may be piped within the PE to ensure purging of potential dead air spots. It is important that the interior and exterior of the Spark Arrestor is kept clean and debris is not allowed to accumulate which might affect the calibration of the device. In particular the exterior of the Spark Arrestor should not be painted or blocked off in any way. 5.3 Connections to Protective Gas Supply The MiniPurge® system should be connected to a protective gas supply, which is suitable for purging and pressurization. The supply pipe connection to the MiniPurge® must be appropriate for the maximum input flow rate for the application. The air supply must be regulated at a pressure less than the maximum stated inlet pressure. The air supply must be: clean, non-flammable and from a non-hazardous location. The air should be of Instrument Air Quality. Although the purge control system will operate with lower air quality, its operational life will be adversely affected. The equipment that is being protected by the MiniPurge® may also suffer because of poor air quality.

ML442 | v19

With reference to BS ISO 8573-1: 2010, Instrument Air is typically specified as: Particle Class 1 In each cubic metre of compressed air, the particulate count should not exceed 20,000 particles in the 0.1 to 0.5 micron size range, 400 particles in the 0.5 to 1 micron size range and 10 particles in the 1 to 5 micron size range. Humidity or pressure dew point The dew point, at line pressure, shall be at least 10 °C below the minimum local recorded ambient temperature at the plant site. In no case, should the dew point at line pressure exceed +3 °C. Oil Class 2

In each cubic metre of compressed air, not more than 0.1mg of oil is allowed. This is a total level for liquid oil, oil aerosol and oil vapour. When an inert gas is being used to supply the purge system, risk of asphyxiation exists. Refer to Application Suitability section.

Before connection of the air supply to the purge system, the supply pipe work should be flushed through with instrument quality air to remove any debris that may remain in the pipes. This must be carried out for at least 10 seconds for every meter of supply pipe.

Unless a supply shut-off valve has been fitted to the MiniPurge® system, an external shut-off valve with the same, or larger, thread size as the Control Unit inlet fitting should be fitted by the installer to prevent any restriction of purge flow.

The purge air from the MiniPurge® Control Unit should be piped within the pressurized enclosure to ensure purging of potential dead air spots. The purge system is fitted with an internal regulator factory set to 3 bar feeding the logic. 5.4 Purge Air from CU to PE When the CU is mounted directly on the top of the PE, no connection will normally be necessary, as the purge air will discharge into the PE directly. When the CU is not mounted on the top, or where internal air distribution is necessary a connection should be made from the purge air outlet on the CU (normally ½” NPT Female), via pipe pressure rated at least to the supply pressure, to the PE. This should be kept as short as possible and should be adequately sized to ensure that the full purge flow can be delivered. 5.5 CU to Enclosure Pressure Monitor When the CU is mounted on the top of the PE, no connection will normally be necessary, as the enclosure pressure monitor point will sense directly inside the PE. If the CU is not directly mounted or if there are fans, which may create localised low-pressure areas within the PE, it is necessary to pipe this connection. The connection is made to the enclosure pressure sensor fitting (normally 1/8” NPT Female) on the CU. There is virtually no flow in this circuit, so small bore tube may be used. Expo recommends 6mm O/D metal tube. Make sure that all connections are free of leaks.

ML442 | v19 Page




5.6 CU to Flow Sensor In Continuous Flow (CF) systems, a Differential Pressure Sensor is combined with the Minimum Pressure Sensor and measures the "DP HI (High) / Enclosure Pressure" within the PE and the pressure in the monitoring device at the back of the SAU "DP LO (Low) SAU Connection". This connection requires a pipe connection between the CU and the SAU25. In Leakage Compensation (LC) systems a dedicated Purge Flow Sensor measures the differential pressure between the "DP HI (High) / Enclosure Pressure" and the pressure in the monitoring device at the back of the RLV "DP LO (Low) RLV Connection". This connection requires a pipe to connect the CU to the RLV25. 5.7 Power Supplies and their Isolation All power entering the PE shall be provided with a means of isolation. This requirement also applies to any external power sources, which are connected to equipment such as "volt-free" or “dry" contacts within the PE. Printer signal, network cards, etc need isolation. Exception: Power to other apparatus that is already suitable for the hazardous area need not to

be isolated by the MiniPurge system.

In all cases the application and the isolation of the power must be controlled by the MiniPurge system. Refer to Specification Sheet for output options available. 5.8 Adjustments and Settings Purge Time If no specific purge test has been performed on the PE, the volume of the PE must be determined by the manufacturer or user and the necessary purging time calculated based on the purge flow rate specified by the “standard” being used. It is the user's responsibility to verify

or enter this data on the PE and/or MiniPurge system nameplate. Ask Expo if in doubt. The IEC / EN 60079-2 permits 5 free volume changes and an example of the calculations is as follows:

If the PE external dimensions indicate an internal free volume of 500 Litres then, 500 litres enclosure volume x 5 volume changes = 12 minutes purge time

225 litres/minute purge flow rate If the PE is a motor, experience of purge testing shows that it is prudent to multiply the motor internal "free” volume by ten to get the purging volume.

500 litres enclosure volume x 10 volume changes = 23 minutes purge time 225 litres/minute purge flow rate

The following applies for NFPA 496 standards where 4 complete volume changes are permitted for enclosures except when the PE contains a motor when 10 volume changes are required.

If the PE external dimensions indicate a total volume of 8 cubic foot, then, 8 cubic foot enclosure volume x 4 volume changes = 4 minutes purge time

8 cubic foot/minute purge flow rate, (see above) If the same PE contains a motor, then,

8 cubic foot enclosure volume x 10 volume changes = 10 minutes purge time 8 cubic foot/minute purge flow rate, (see above)

ML442 | v19

The standard MiniPurge units have an adjustable electronic timer

system as shown in Figure 8 MiniPurge Time Selector Switches. The purge time is set by adjusting the Time Selector Switches so that the time equals or exceeds the required purge time. If the time is set to ‘00’, the purge time will be indefinite.

Figure 8 MiniPurge Time Selector Switches

Purge Flow Rate (Orifice Size Selection) – Only for CF Systems The purge flow rate is selected by placing the appropriate orifice plate in the SAU. The purge flow rates given in Table 2 are based on standard setting of the flow sensor of 2.5mbar, 1” WC, 250Pa. For LC systems the purge flow rate is set by the selection of the RLV and is not user adjustable.

Action on Loss of Pressurization The action on loss of pressurization is the responsibility of the user. The action on loss of pressurization can be set to ALARMS ONLY (AO), or ALARM AND AUTOMATIC DISCONNECT OF POWER (A&T). For both Leakage Compensation and Continuous Flow systems, the action on loss of pressurization is set by moving the jumper tube (see Figure 10 Action on Loss of Pressurization Jumper Tube). The standard setting is Alarm and Trip where the link is from C to A&T, with a plug in AO. Changing to Alarm Only (AO) is user adjustable by moving the link from C to AO, and plugging A&T.

Figure 9 Action on loss of pressurization jumper tube

The selection for action on loss of pressurization depends on the area of operation and the following guidelines should be followed. The user must make use of this alarm facility in accordance with the local code of practice for "action on pressure or flow failure". Most codes include the following recommendations:

ML442 | v19 Page




Zone 1 Installations: Alarm and automatic disconnect of power. Exception: If the equipment inside the PE is suitable for use in Zone 2, the power trip may be performed manually, (no automatic power trip), if the pressure or flow failure persists for an unacceptable time. Zone 2 Installations: Alarm Only on pressure or flow failure with power being removed manually by turning off the air

supply to the MiniPurge system if the failure persists for an unacceptable time. Class I Division 1 Installations: Alarm and Automatic Trip of Power. Note: NFPA 496 states power to the circuits shall be permitted to be continued for a short period if immediate loss of power would result in a more hazardous condition and if both audible and visual alarms are provided at a constantly attended location. Class I Division 2 Installations: Where automatic timing is preferred, Alarm Only on pressure or flow failure with power being

removed manually by turning off the air supply to the MiniPurge system if the failure persists for an unacceptable time. 5.9 Internal Gas Release If the PE contains an internal source of release of flammable gas or vapour, the procedures for assessment of the release as given in NFPA 496 or IEC / EN 60079-2 should be used. Expo is pleased to provide assistance or consultancy and advice on such matters. The user must verify that the specifications of the Expo system e.g. pressure, continuous flow (dilution) rate and type of protective gas are correct for the specific application. 5.10 Multiple Enclosures More than one PE can be protected by a single system. Where PEs are connected and purged in "series" e.g. "Daisy Chained", the RLV and when using a CF system, the SAU25 should be fitted on the last enclosure with the Purge Inlet connected to the first enclosure. The bore and length of the pipe or conduit used to interconnect the enclosures is critical and will determine the maximum pressure experienced by the first enclosure in the series. Advice on sizing can be obtained from the Expo sales office but in general terms when using RLV25 or SAU25, the pipe bore size should not be less than 25mm (1”). A common fault of installing small bore pipe leads to over pressurizing of all but the last enclosure. PEs should not be connected in parallel.

6. Commissioning

Start by check that the system has been installed in accordance with this manual.

Disconnect the supply pipe from the inlet to the MiniPurge system and blow it through for at least 10 seconds per meter (3ft) of length to remove any debris or condensation. Connect a temporary pressure gauge or water manometer to

the PE or MiniPurge system pressure test point (Remove the red plug on the low pressure sensor and connect 4mm OD nylon tube).

Figure 10. PE or MiniPurge system pressure test point

Unless a supply shut-off valve has been specially fitted inside the MiniPurge system, it may be advisable to install an external shutoff valve with the same, or larger, thread size as the

MiniPurge CU inlet fitting upstream of the connection. 6.1 Continuous Flow (CF) Systems Open the Flow Control Valve (FCV) until the alarm/pressurized indicator just turns from red to green. Clockwise will reduce the flow and anti-clockwise will increase the airflow. If the FCV is opened fully and the indicator has still not turned green, check the air supply pressure at the inlet to the control unit while flow is taking place. It must be above the minimum 4 bar/ 60 psig/ 400kPa specified.

Check that the internal logic gauge reads 2bar /30 psig/200kPa. The electronic purge timer will start as soon as the ‘alarm/pressurized’ indicator turns from red (alarm) to green (pressurized). Check that the time delay between the indicator flashing yellow and the application of power to the PE is not less than the minimum time required to purge the PE. When the purge time has been completed, the ‘purge complete’ indicator will stop flashing. After the power has been turned on by the CU, the air flow will continue at the same rate to provide dilution as required.

Figure 11. Flow Control Valve (FCV)

ML442 | v19 Page




6.2 Leakage Compensation Systems (LC)

• Open the Leakage Compensation Valve (LCV) fully, turn anti-clockwise.

Clockwise will reduce the flow and anti-clockwise will increase the airflow.

• Open the supply regulator SLOWLY and allow the PE pressure to rise until the RLV opens.

• Check that the RLV opens at or below the figure specified in the documentation.

RLV tolerance of +0, -20% of default setting.

• Repeat the test several times.

Figure 12 Leakage Compensation Valve

• Open the supply regulator to between 4 and 8 barg / 60 and 115 psi / 400 and 800 kPa and the purging flow will start.

• Check that the internal logic gauge reads 2 bar /30 psi / 200 kPa At this time the "alarm/pressurized” indicator should be green and the "purging” indicator should be flashing yellow. If the “purging” indicator remains black the flow through the RLV is below the minimum for which the flow sensor has been calibrated. Check the air supply pressure at the inlet to the control unit while purging is taking place. It must be above the minimum specified. The electronic purge timer will start as soon as the "purging" indicator starts flashing yellow. Check that the time delay between the “purging” indicator flashing yellow and the application of power to the PE is not less than the minimum time required purging the PE. Times in excess of the minimum are permitted. If the time is too short it must be increased accordingly. After the power has been applied via the CU, the purging valve will close and the air flow into the enclosure will be controlled by the LCV. The initial setting of fully open will normally be too high. It should now be adjusted to set the PE pressure and leakage. There are three possible situations:

Air continues to come out through the RLV Spark Arrestor after power has been applied in considerable quantity. The LCV is much too far open and the air flow is holding the RLV open continuously. Close the LCV slowly. The PE pressure will start to fall as the flow decreases but eventually the RLV will close and the enclosure pressure rise again. At this point the RLV may start to open intermittently as the PE pressure rises to the point where it exceeds the RLV opening pressure. When the RLV opens the pressure will fall quickly to the point where the RLV re-closes and the enclosure pressure starts to rise again. This is entirely normal for this type of RLV.

If the RLV is opening intermittently the LCV is slightly too far open. When the RLV opens the enclosure pressure falls quickly to the point where the RLV re-closes and the enclosure pressure starts to rise again. This is entirely normal for this type of RLV and shows that it is working correctly. Continue then to close the LCV until the cycling stops and the enclosure pressure starts to fall. Carefully adjust the LCV until the PE pressure is approximately 50% of the RLV opening pressure and stable. This pressure may be around 5 mbarg / 2” WC / 500 Pa and will be the "normal working pressure".

ML442 | v19




E:[email protected]



We recommend that the setting of the minimum pressure sensor be checked at this time. Note the position of the LCV knob. (A pencil mark placed on the knob at “12 O'clock” can be used). Slowly lower the PE pressure by closing the LCV further, counting the number of turns from the "normal working pressure" position. Note the pressure at which the "alarm/pressurized" indicator turns from green to red and check that it is not lower than the figure given in the documentation. Check also the "alarm" electrical contacts. As soon as the "alarm/pressurized" indicator turns red, the system will start to re-purge. If Alarm and Trip function is selected the enclosure power will be switched off. While it is re-purging return the LCV to its "normal working pressure" position so that, at the end of purging, the enclosure pressure should immediately settle down at the correct "normal" pressure.

If, at the end of purging, the PE pressure falls below the minimum pressure sensor setting and the LCV is fully open, the system will start to purge again. This is indicative of excessive leakage from the enclosure. In this case, check the enclosure for leakage, and reduce or eliminate the leaks. This time, at the end of purging, the enclosure should stay pressurized and the RLV action is as in a) or b) above. Proceed as described above.

6.3 Normal operation Turn the air supply on or off to start or stop the system. After this the pressurizing and purging sequence is entirely automatic 6.4 High Pressure Valve This valve is set at Expo and should not be changed. The function of this valve is to set the delay time of the purge system restarting after the maximum HP sensor pressure is reached.

ML442 | v19 Page




7. Maintenance of the System

The maintenance recommended for the system consists of the following items, supplemented by any additional local requirements imposed by the local Code of Practice. Expo recommends that the commissioning tests be repeated at least every six months. In addition, the following checks are also recommended at that time:

• Check the RLV and all Spark Arrestors. Remove all debris & corrosion or replace with a spare.

• Check the condition of the air supply filter element. Clean or replace it as necessary.

At least every two years check the following additional items:

• Apparatus is suitable for the Hazardous Location

• There are no unauthorised modifications

• The air supply must be to the correct quality, refer to section Air Quality

• The interlocks and alarms function correctly

• Approval labels are legible and undamaged

• Adequate spares are carried

• The action on pressure failure is correct The Intrinsically Safe Battery Pack should be changed at least every three years, and the commissioning tests repeated. After the timing phase has elapsed, the battery may be ‘hot-swapped’ in a hazardous environment without effecting the operation of the MiniPurge Ex px system. Recommended spares ETM-IS31-001 Intrinsically Safe Battery Pack Pressure sensor calibration If it is decided that the minimum pressure /purge flow sensor needs recalibrating it must be returned to Expo for this service. Filter cleaning If the filter element needs cleaning the filter bowl can be unscrewed and removed. The filter element also unscrews and can then be cleaned in soapy water. Do not use solvents on any part of the filter assembly.

8. Fault Finding

If the system does not behave in the manner described above, there is a fault. Some of the more likely faults are dealt with below. If a cure cannot be affected by following the procedure shown below, please call Expo (24 hour answering) or your supplier for further assistance. The system has been designed for ease of fault finding and the many of the components fitted are plug-in or manifold mounted. Check components by substitution only after establishing that such action is necessary. If the system is less than 12 months old, parts under warranty should be returned to Expo for investigation, with a full report of the fault and the system serial number. As with any pneumatic system the greatest enemies are water, oil and dirt in the air supply. For this reason, the air system must always incorporate a dust and water filter. This can be part of the Expo system or can be provided by others. However, dirt can enter from other sources and it is vital therefore that the procedures described in Section 2 is carried out before using the system for the first time, or following any disconnection of the pipe-work. Failure to perform this work may cause damage that will not be covered under warranty. Before making the following checks verify that both the main air supply pressure to the purge system & the regulated pressure to the logic are as specified on the system specification sheet. Different flow charts for faulting have been provided for both the CF and LC options.

ML442 | v19 Page




Fault Finding (CF)

Is the PE strong enough?

Is the Pressure / Flow Sensor out of calibration or

faulty?

Pressurized indicator will not turn green or Purging indicator will not flash yellow

Call Expo

Is the supply pipe to the air inlet as least 12mm I.D?

Is there excessive

leakage from the PE?

Is the air supply pressure incorrect?

No

Check the air supply pressure at the inlet to the MiniPurge is stable between 4 - 8 Barg / 60 - 115 psi

Yes

Replace pipe work

No

Yes

Any significant leakage must be corrected. Check for leaks down the cables or conduit. Ensure leakage does not exceed 60 Nl/min (2 cfm)

Yes

No

Yes

No

The standard requires that the PE is tested to 1.5 times the Relief Valve opening pressure e.g. 15 mbarg for many systems. Has this been done?

No

The basic operation of the Pressure Sensor can be checked by unscrewing the 60mm diameter diaphragm housing and, by using a rubber pad, e.g. an eraser, block the 12mm threaded hole in the top of the valve module. The valve should operate and the indicator turns green. If this is correct, the sensor diaphragm needs recalibrating or replacing.

Yes
