Description

The TRYCLOPS X purge controller is a compact, intelligent solution designed to safeguard electrical enclosures in high-risk industrial environments. Developed by Purge Solutions, it enables standard equipment to operate safely in Class I Division 1 purge areas by eliminating explosive atmospheres and maintaining a safe internal pressure.

Ideal for petrochemical facilities, refineries, and chemical processing plants, the TRYCLOPS X supports critical safety and compliance goals. As a Type X purge system, it allows users to downgrade the internal classification of an enclosure to non-hazardous, significantly expanding equipment options while meeting strict safety standards.

Certified Performance with Smart Integration

The TRYCLOPS X is certified to NFPA 496, ATEX, IECEx, and Class I, Division 1 standards. It features a redundant sensor system to monitor pressure and flow, automatically triggering alarms or shutdowns if unsafe conditions are detected. These certifications validate its use in the most hazardous areas.

For integration, the controller supports RS-485 Modbus communication for real-time monitoring. It can independently manage up to three enclosures, reducing hardware needs. Its compact design simplifies installation in tight panels, making it ideal for both new builds and retrofit projects.

This hazardous location purge controller combines safety and efficiency in one proven device. Built by Purge Solutions, it delivers high-performance protection without adding system complexity. It’s a smart investment for any operation requiring a reliable purge and pressurization system.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Type X purge?

A Type X purge system protects enclosures in Class I, Division 1 or Zone 1 hazardous areas. It uses clean instrument air or inert gas to remove flammable vapors, then maintains positive pressure inside the enclosure. This isolates electrical components and prevents ignition of explosive gases.

The purge process downgrades the enclosure’s classification from Division 1 to unclassified. This enables the use of general-purpose equipment in environments that would otherwise require expensive explosion-proof solutions. Type X purging is essential for safety and flexibility.

What is the difference between X Purge and Z Purge?

The difference lies in the hazard level and application. Type X is used in Division 1 or Zone 1 areas with constant or likely explosive risks. It reduces the enclosure’s classification from Division 1 to unclassified and is suited for non-rated equipment.

Type Z purge systems are used in Division 2 or Zone 2, where explosive conditions are less likely. They downgrade the classification from Division 2 to unclassified. Type X provides a higher level of protection than Type Z and is used in more critical areas.

Why should I trust the TRYCLOPS X Purge Controller?

The TRYCLOPS X is a third-generation controller trusted in critical hazardous applications. Built by Purge Solutions, it features redundant sensors, RS-485 Modbus connectivity, and independent control of up to three enclosures. It’s engineered for long-term reliability.

Certified to NFPA 496, ATEX, IECEx, and Class I, Division 1, the TRYCLOPS X meets global safety standards. Its compact design allows for easy installation in tight spaces. With proven field performance, it delivers dependable protection in demanding environments.
