Purge Panel

AXIS offers engineered Purge Panels designed for use in hazardous environments (Zone 1 / Zone 2, Division 1 / 2) where standard electrical and electronic equipment needs to be safely operated. These systems use a controlled purging and pressurization technique to eliminate and prevent the ingress of flammable gases or vapors into the enclosure, enabling the safe use of non-explosion-proof equipment in classified areas. During the initial purge phase, compressed air or inert gas is used to displace the hazardous atmosphere inside the panel. A maintained overpressure is then applied, ensuring continuous protection by preventing external gas ingress. The system is ideal for applications where weight, cost, or equipment constraints make explosion-proof alternatives impractical. AXIS Purge Panels are designed with IP65 protection, Ex-AC certifications, and scalable dimensions to accommodate a variety of instruments, analyzers, and control systems. The panels are optimized for electrostatic discharge control, moisture-free operation, and hydrocarbon (HC) accumulation mitigation, ensuring safety and compliance in the most demanding operational environments.
