DEFINITIONS
The following definitions are in accordance with the ISA-RP12.4-1996 and NFPA 4961998 documents. Alarm: A piece of equipment that generates a visual or audible signal that attracts attention. Enclosure Volume: The volume of the empty enclosure without internal equipment. Flammable Limits: The lower (LFL or LEL) and upper(UFL or UEL) percentages by volume of concentration of gas-air mixture that will form an ignitable mixture. Hazardous (Classified) Location: A location in which fire or explosion hazards may exist due to flammable gases or vapors, flammable liquids, comestible dust, or easily ignitable fibers or flying. Ignition Capable Equipment: Equipment that under normal operating conditions, produce sparks, hot surfaces or a flame that can ignite the hazardous area. Ignition Temperature: The autoignition temperature of a hazardous location. Indicator: Equipment that shows flow or pressure. Maximum Operating Pressure: The maximum internal pressure permitted for an enclosure. Pressurization: The process of supplying an enclosure with a protective gas with or without continuous flow at sufficient pressure to prevent the entrance of a flammable gas or vapor, a combustible dust, or an ignitable fiber. Protective Gas: The gas used to maintain pressurization or to dilute a flammable gas or vapor. Protective Gas Supply: The compressor, blower, or compressed gas container that provides the protective gas at a positive pressure. The supply includes inlet (suction) pipes or ducts, pressure regulators, outlet pipes or ducts, and any supply valves not adjacent to the pressurized enclosure. Purging: The process of supplying an enclosure with a protective gas at a sufficient flow and positive pressure to reduce the concentration of any flammable gas or vapor initially present to an acceptable level. Specific Particle Density: The density of individual dust particles.

Type X pressurizing: Reducing the classification within the protective enclosure from a Division 1, Zone 1 to nonclassified. Type Y pressurizing: Reduces the classification within the protective enclosure from a Division 1, Zone 1 to Division 2, Zone 2. Type Z pressurizing: Reduces the classification within the protective enclosure from a Division 2, Zone 2 to nonclassified.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Type Z, Class I, Division 2 / Class I, Zone 2 locations are where flammable liquids are processed but are normally contained or confined in a closed container or system, and are only present outside the container or system when there is an abnormal condition such as a rupture or breakdown of the system. (See Article 500-5(b) of NFPA 70, National Electrical Code). The RITTAL Type Z and Y Purge system allows general purpose devices to be operated within a pressurized NEMA 4 or 12 enclosure located in the hazardous area. Explosive gases are flushed out of the protective enclosure by sending a protective gas such as instrument air or an inert gas through the system until 4 enclosure volumes have been exchanged. (Exception: if a Class I motor is in the enclosure, 10 volume changes must be performed. After the purging cycle is completed, power can be applied to protective enclosure. If the pressure drops below a minimum value ( as specified in the NFPA 4961998 standard), immediate attention is required. Type Y, Class I, Division 1 / Class I, Zone 1 locations are where flammable liquids are always or periodically present. (See Article 500-5(a) of NFPA 70, National Electric Code). The RITTAL Type Z and Y Purge system allows devices rated for Class I, Division 2 / Class I, Zone 2 to be located in the protective enclosure and operate in a Division 1/ Zone 1 area. Explosive gases are flushed out of the protective enclosure by sending a protective gas such as instrument air or an inert gas through the system until 4 enclosure volumes have been exchanged. (Exception: if a Class I motor is in the enclosure, 10 volume changes must be performed). After the purging cycle is completed, power can be applied to protective enclosure. If the pressure drops below a minimum value ( as specified in the NFPA 496-1998 standard), immediate attention is required.

COMPONENTS FOR THE Z AND Y PURGE PANEL

Enclosure volume must be less than 75 cubic feet. Type Z and Y Purge panels provides the basic components to purge and pressurize a protective enclosure of less than 75 cubic feet of volume. PURGE PANEL * Regulator: Provides regulated protective gas to the protective enclosure. * Pressure Gauge: Pressure of regulated protective gas. * Filter: Filter for regulated protective gas supply. * Purging Valve: Ball valve for supplying high flow rate of protective gas supply for purging. * Pressurization Valve: Needle valve for supplying a continuous protective gas supply for pressurization. * Differential Pressure Gauge: Indicates internal pressure. The gauge is is only used in verifying internal pressure and is not used as an alarm indicator. * Start-Up Labels: The start-up labels will provide the correct procedure for purging and pressurizing the protective enclosure. * Warning Labels: Stainless steel label must be placed onto the protective enclosure and indicates this is a pressurized enclosure. * Differential Pressure Switch: Provides a contact output when the pressure inside the protective enclosure drops below 0.2 water pressure. The contact output is used to drive an alarm for pressure loss inside the protective enclosure.

PRESSURE RELIEF VENT A pressure relief vent is required for all pressurized systems regardless of the class and division of the installation. The relief vent has a spark arrestor screen for hazardous area mounting and acts as a relief vent during and after purging. The pressure relief vent must be mounted in a upright position. Before operating the Z and Y purge panel, the vent should be checked to make sure the ball inside the vent moves freely. This operation should be done before the protective gas is supplied to the protective enclosure. A warning label on the vent indicates this testing procedure.

INSTALLING PANELS TO PROTECTIVE ENCLOSURE

Good engineering practices should be conducted when installing the Z and Y Purge panels. Below are some practices to consider. * Use 3/8 or 5/16 bolts to mount the panel to the protective enclosure. A sealant may be applied to the bolts so they will not leak. * Each panel will have two connections to the protective enclosure. Both of them on the panel are SWAGELOK fitting. The reference pressure is 1/4 and the protective gas supply is 3/8. Minimize the number of bends for each tubing so that the pressure loss is reduced to a minimum. This is especially important for the protective gas supply entering into the protective enclosure. * The 1/4 and 3/8 tubing should not have a wall thickness greater than 0.035. * If the hazardous vapors are heavier than air, then try to place the vent near the bottom of the protective enclosure and the protective gas supply near the top. If the hazardous vapors are lighter than air, place the vent near the top of the protective enclosure and the protective gas supply near the bottom. * Make sure all entrances to the protective enclosure are sealed. All wiring going to and leaving the protective enclosure must be in accordance with the wiring methods for that area. * Mount stainless steel warning plate in a place that is highly visible to all personnel. * The protective enclosure must not have an external surface temperature which exceeds 80% of the hazardous vapor ignition temperature. s * The equipment within the protective enclosure must not exceed 80% if the hazardous vapor ignition temperature, unless it can be proven it will not ignite the hazardous vapor present or a warning label indicating that the enclosure can not be opened for a specified time to allow for cooling of the equipment and the door can not be opened without a tool. * Any windows or displays on the protective enclosure must be shatterproof. * The enclosure should meet or exceed NEMA 4 or 12 ratings. The protective enclosure should withstand a internal pressure of 6 water pressure. * For Type Z purging, equipment in the protective enclosure can be general purpose equipment. For Type Y purging, equipment in the protective enclosure has to have a Class I, Division 2 / Class I, Zone 2 rating.

* If multiple enclosures are connect together and operated by one Z and Y panel, the combined volume must not exceed 75 cubic feet. The enclosure should be connected in series with the vent and the Z and Y panel separated by the first and last enclosure. * Verify that the protective gas supply can handle the flow rate required. The actual flow rate for the 3/8 panel is 15 SCFM. * The supply pressure must be at a minimum of 80 psig and the regulated pressure must be at 60 psig minimum.

* The pressure relief vent must be mounted in a upright position.

INITIAL START-UP PROCEDURES

1. Turn off the purging valve and fully close the pressurization valve by turning the know clockwise (CW). 2. Connect the protective gas supply to the regulator-filter. 3. Test the pressure vent by making sure the ball in the shaft moves freely. 4. Verify there is 80 psig supply pressure and regulator is set at 60 psig minimum. 5. Adjust pressurization valve so that the differential pressure gauge reads 0.3 water pressure. 6. Turn on the purging valve and verify that there is flow. 7. Energize power to protective enclosure. 8. Verify function of the differential pressure switch by adjusting the pressurization valve clockwise (CW) so the differential pressure gauge drops below 0.2 water pressure. 9. Remove all test instruments.

START-UP INSTRUCTIONS
1. With protective enclosure power off, and protective gas supply turned off 2. Test protective vent in accordance to the instructions on the vent and seal enclosure. 3. Set protective gas regulator to 60 psig minimum. Adjust pressurization valve so that the differential pressure gauge reads 0.3 water pressure. 4. Turn on the purging valve for specified amount of time specified on the start-up label. 5. After purging has been completed, close purging valve. 6. Wait for differential pressure gauge to reach its pressurization pressure. If low pressure alarm is not on, and differential pressure gauge is above 0.2 water pressure, energize power to protective enclosure. 7. Loss of pressure requires immediate response unless power is deenergized.

The pressure relief vent 9968229 is required for all pressurized systems. The 9968229 provides an exhaust for the protective gas during the purge cycle and acts as a relief vent. The spark arrestor screen is made of stainless steel and provides safe venting for Type Y, Division 1 areas. The main component of the vent is a PVC ball (UL94V E0) that rises when the pressure inside the enclosure reaches approximately 1.4 water pressure. During purging, the protective gas enters the protective enclosure and causes the ball to rise, allowing the hazardous vapors and gases to leave the enclosure. After purging if the enclosure pressure drops below 1.2 water pressure, the PVC ball will settle in the chamber a provide a seal. This operation is dependent on gravity and must be mounted in an upright position. Right angle vents, 9968230 provide side mounting. ...
