Datasheets

Bebco EPS 3003 and 3004 are Rapid Exchange® purge systems operating on instrument air or inert gas. They regulate and monitor the pressure inside protected enclosures, perform the required volume exchanges to remove flammable gases or vapours, and then maintain a safe pressure of 0.25" wc. Type Y reduces the internal classification from Class I Division 1 to Division 2, Type Z from Division 2 to non-hazardous, in accordance with NEC (NFPA 70), NFPA 496 and ISA 12.4.

The 3003 protects enclosures up to 2.54 m³ (90 ft³) and requires an EPV-3 vent; the 3004 is listed for volumes up to 250 ft³ and is combined with the EPV-4 vent. Purge and pressurisation valves are combined in an anodised aluminium manifold with 316 stainless steel valves.

Key features

  • LPS versions without pressure switch, WPS with explosion-proof pressure switch (Groups C, D) and WPSA with pressure switch for Groups A, B, C, D
  • WPSA at 120 V AC as standard, 24 V DC, 220 V AC or 240 V AC on request
  • Vertical left (VML) or right (VMR), horizontal top (HMT) or bottom (HMB), panel (VPM, HPM) or component kit (CK, LPS only) mounting
  • VX option with vortex cooler indicator gauge
  • Purge flow 12 SCFM (340 l/min) with regulator set to 60 psi (3003)
  • Optional alarm output via the pressure switch contacts (WPS, WPSA)
  • FM and cULus approvals
