Installation
The MiniPurge
®
S
ystem must be installed by a competent engineer, in accordance with relevant standards,
such as IEC / EN 60079-14 and any local codes or practice.
• Mount the purge system in accordance with the hook-up drawing.
• Ensure the system is installed according to the full instructions in the “Installation of the System” section
of this manual.
• All piping must be clean and free of dirt, condensation and debris prior to connection to the purge system
or pressurized enclosure.
• It is strongly recommended that a local isolation valve is installed on the air supply upstream of the purge
system.
Note: Most faults are due to restricted air supply, inadequate supply pipe work or drop in air supply
pressure during the purge process.
Operation of the System
Once the system is installed correctly, turn on the air supply. Refer to Commissioning section.
The purge system commences the purge cycle:
• The purge air will enter the enclosure.
• The pressurized enclosure will obtain a positive pressure.
• The Purge Outlet Valve will open within the Relief Valve Unit.
• The air will then exit the Relief Valve Unit housing via the spark arrestor.
Open the Purge Flow Regulator Valve until the air flow reaches the required rate; the system will initiate the
timed purge cycle. Start a stopwatch when the purging indicator flashes
yellow.
On completion of an uninterrupted purge cycle of the required length, the system will indicate purge complete.
