- Determine required voltage configuration. For 50 Hertz models, contact factory.
- Determine hazard classification per National Electric Code (NEC). For example, Class I, Group D, Division 2.
- Select the model number following the order code.
- Scan the “Options and Accessories” listing and select the desired items. Order by adding a slash and the order code of the selection accessory or option. For example: PACX – H – 050 – 1 – B – ID2 / EH (4) / FDI
- For technical or pricing information, contact your representative or Sales Engineering at 225-926-6950.
How to Order PB 10 Series Pressure Blowers
- Determine the required airflow and hazard classification, i.e., 1100 CFM and Class I, Group D, Division 2.
- Determine the PBX 10 Series model number using the description shown. For applications requiring airflow greater than 2600 CFM use Series PBX 15 or PBX 20.
- Next, select any additional options and accessories that may be required. Order these items separately.
- For technical or sales information, call your local representative or our Technical Service at 225-926-6950.
How to Order PB 15 Series Pressure Blowers
- Determine the maximum airflow required by the PB or PBX (explosion-proof) pressure blower. NFPA 496 requires a minimum of 60 feet per minute across all door and other room openings
- Determine hazard classification outside of the pressurized structure, e.g., NEC Class I, Group D, Division 2.
- Determine the model number following the description.
- Select additional options and accessories that may be required. Order these items separately. For systems requiring special particulate, chemical or carbon filters, contact factory for computer sizing.
- For technical or pricing information, contact your local representative or Sales Engineering at 225-926-6950.
Packaged Air Conditioners with Room Pressurization/Filtration
Industrial Control Rooms, Analyzer Buildings, Motor Control Centers, and other installations in or near hazardous or dusty locations require both packaged air conditioning and pressurization. NFPA, API, and related industrial codes mandate both the building pressure and the airflow across a door or other openings that must be maintained. Pre-assembled and pretested PB(X) 20 systems provide these functions automatically. The control panel includes all controls for setting and monitoring room temperature, pressure, and pressure loss alarm. Models specified as “Explosion Proof” comply with Articles 500-503 of the National Electric Code (NEC) for Class I, Groups C and D or Class II, Groups F and G, Divisions 1 and/or 2.
A low noise, Vari-Speed blower automatically maintains the desired building pressure. The supply air can be limited to the amount required to offset air loss from the pressurized structure and from door openings. The results are lower heating and cooling requirements, substantial energy conservation, and lower operating costs. Gone are sluggish responses and the repeated need for adjustment and maintenance of damper-controlled designs.
Maximum make-up airflow can be specified in the range of 1300 to 6000 cu-ft per minute. The matched packaged airconditioning system operates in a recirculating mode. Ample external static pressures allow for any required distribution ducts. Cooling capacities range from 2 to 50 tons. The built-in housing will accept a wide variety of air filters for particulate or gas-phase corrosion and odor control media. Additional options are an audible pressure loss alarm, timer-controlled air purge, and gas detectors.
