Adalet Enclosures
Adalet offers many kinds of enclosure types, including explosion-proof options, junction boxes meant for use in all kinds of weather, meter housings and control enclosures. They are constructed of stainless steel or aluminum and each one is made to meet certain and exacting industry requirements and standards.
In places where there are possible internal explosions, enclosures can be constructed that will secure any explosion within them and not allow the surrounding atmosphere to become ignited. This is most important in locations designated as "hazardous" where any of several gases, mists, or vapors can be found. With the increased recognition of the risks that attend the industrial use and handling of these materials, the use of explosion-proof electrical equipment has become a cornerstone in the safe operation of many hazardous facilities.
Versatile Adalet enclosures are customized to suit your specific installation needs. Accessories and fittings allow you to mount panels, terminal blocks, and gaskets either inside or outside the box, to best serve the indoor and outdoor environments as well as hazardous and non-hazardous locations. These enclosures have more than safety in mind—there's also real convenience. Clear lids and easy access make them a breeze to use. And access and ease come without sacrificing the all-important safety of personnel and equipment.
FAQs
Can I add a steel mounting panel be to an Adalet hazardous location enclosure in enclosure systems that are in contact with the outdoors?
Yes, a steel mounting panel can be added to an Adalet hazardous location enclosure designed for outdoor use, ensuring it meets the necessary safety and environmental protection standards.
Purge System Basics
3 common reasons to use purge systems
They allow electrical enclosures to be installed in hazardous areas without the need for explosion proof enclosures.
They recycle the air inside of an enclosure, reducing the internal temperature.
They help reduce the effects of corrosion on components housed within the enclosure.
How does a purge system work?
Purge systems use incoming air from a supply line, solenoid valves, pressure gauges and pumps, to constantly maintain a positive pressure inside an enclosure. This prevents any flammable gases from entering the enclosure potentially causing an ignition event to occur. By maintaining a positive pressure within the enclosure, moisture and corrosive gases are also prevented from entering the enclosure and damaging components. Most purge systems will ensure that the air inside the enclosure is recycled a certain amount of times within a given time period. This air recycle function assists in maintaining a cooler temperature within the enclosure.
