 General's Model EP8HL hazardous location air
ventilation blower is designed for confined space entry in or where the
possibility of a National Electric CodeŽ Class I, Group D, Class II, Group
G or Class III hazardous atmosphere exists. The unit is designed for use
in areas containing hazardous locations including: petrochemical plants,
fuel servicing facilities, industrial processing locations and grain
elevators.
Powered by a 1/3 HP, 115 VAC explosion-proof electric
motor, the EP8HL features a frame and cast blower housing fabricated from
aluminum alloy for true spark-proof construction. A self-contained on/off
motor switch eliminates the additional need for costly external wiring
devices. The flexible cord and male plug allow the unit to be connected
directly into appropriate, hazardous location receptacles, eliminating the
need for costly hard wiring by certified electricians.
Technical Information
Confined
space ventilation is serious business, and the complexity of working
in and around hazardous atmospheres makes it even more serious. At
General, it was clearly evident that an explosion proof motor alone
would not assure a totally "exposition proof" blower...which is
critically necessary in hazardous locations. We also recognized a
need to utilize electrical power that would conform to the strict
National Electric CodeŽ regulations, but knew requiring a customer
to field wire an existing blower was not a satisfactory solution.
That's why General took a revolutionary approach to confined space
ventilation in hazardous locations with the EP8HL blower.
