2.3.2
Purge Air Inlet and Regulator
This is a pressure regulator with air input that is connected to an instrument air source. The
regulator is necessary to ensure that the input pressure does not exceed a certain value.
Excessive pressure could damage other components in the purging system. The air is
connected to the electronics enclosure at the reduced pressure. All instrument air must be
clean (free of particulates and flammable vapors) and dry.
