Product catalog summary
Performance Data
The device operates within a temperature range of 10 to 50°C and is suitable for ambient temperatures from 0 to 50°C. It measures air pressure from 0 to 300 Pa and regulates air velocity in ducts between 2-13 m/s. It features housing leakage class C and damper leaf leakage class 3 as per DIN EN 1751 standards.
Special Features
Designed for aggressive air environments, the device allows for position-independent installation and offers low pressure loss. It supports volumetric flow and linear pressure control, with an optional spring return actuator. The device is pre-wired and programmed for easy installation and commissioning.
Tests and Standards
The device complies with VDI 6022 for hygiene, DIN EN 13779 for non-residential building ventilation, and meets leakage air standards EN 1751. It is approved under ATEX 2014/34/EU, RoHS 2002/95/EC, REACH 1907/2006, and EMC 2004/108/EC.
Function
The volumetric flow controller regulates air flow in ducts, with adjustable setpoints Vmin and Vmax. It can also serve as a room or duct pressure regulator, calibrated at a 13 m/sec flow rate with a maximum deviation of +/- 5% from nominal flow.
Areas of Application
Suitable for supply and return air systems in hazardous zones 1, 2, 21, and 22, including explosion group IIC. It handles air contaminated with aggressive media and is fit for constant or variable air volume installations.
Processing
The housing and damper blade are made of plastic PPs-EL, with a silicone-free PUR seal. The device is airtight to DIN-EN 1751 class 3 and includes a plastic PP measuring cross.
Available Sizes and Volumetric Flow Ranges
Sizes range from NW 110 to NW 400, with volumetric flow ranges from 61 m³/h to 5534 m³/h, ensuring airtight sealing to DIN-EN 1751 class 3.
Accessories
Includes a flat flange made of plastic PPs-EL, with dimensions specified for each size.
Static Minimum Pressure Difference
Specifies the minimum pressure differences required for various sizes and flow rates to ensure proper function.
Flow Generated Noise
Noise levels are detailed for pressure losses of 150 Pa and 200 Pa, with octave band data provided.
Specifications
The ATEX volumetric flow controller VPEX is made of hardly inflammable and conductive plastic PPs-EL, suitable for supply and return air systems, constant or variable volumetric flow regulation, and laboratory ventilation systems. It handles aggressively contaminated exhaust air, with all media-contact parts made from plastic. The differential pressure range is 50-1000 Pa, and the ambient temperature range is 0 to 50°C. It supports duct velocities of 2-13 m/s and allows for post-installation adjustment of the operation volume flow.
Procedures
Assembly and maintenance instructions emphasize inspection accessibility, avoiding sticky and greasy air, and careful storage. Assembly should be performed by experts following technical rules, with all electric components connected to equipotential bonding.
Norms and Standards
References DIN EN 1751 for airtight sealing and housing leakage class, compliant with ATEX 2014/34/EU regulations.
Recommendations
For combinations with fire dampers or silencers, larger minimum distances must be observed, with specific distances provided for bends and other connecting pieces.
Calculation Formulae
Formulas are provided for calculating nominal volumetric flow (Vnenn) and setting minimum (Vmin) and maximum (Vmax) volumetric flow values, essential for configuring the controller to meet operational requirements.
Order Details
Provides a detailed breakdown of components and configurations available for the VPEX controller, including type, nominal size, attachment assembly, mode, volumetric flow set values, damper position, and duct connection options.
