bug screens are acceptable).
5.2.2 User Responsibility
The operating temperature range of the standard SPM
is 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). Options are available for
use outside of this standard temperature range.
The user is responsible for providing purge inlet air
temperature which will not let the internal temperature
of the enclosure fall outside of the SPM’s operating
temperature range.
Purge Supply
The typical purge supply gas is “instrument quality” air.
The air source for the purge system is to be free of oil
and liquid. Ordinary plant compressed air is normally not
suitable without the proper conditioning. Nitrogen gas
may be used for purge supply instead of compressed
air.
The compressor source of purge air is to be physically
located in a non-hazardous area. The air supply lines
from the compressor to the SPM should be made of a
non-combustible material.
See NFPA 496-1993 for additional information on purge
supply.
