However, Hylec-APL’s venting elements ensure pressure equilibrium is maintained, whilst also preventing the build-up of condensation. The breathable membrane, which can be quickly installed on the wall of the enclosure, allows the internal air pressure to equalise without drawing in any moisture.
Supplied with an M12 thread fitting with a 6 or 10mm length, the elements are constructed from flameproof polyamide. The venting elements, which operate between -40 and +100°C, can be specified to protection grades IP66, IP67 and IP69K. The typical airflow rate is 90-130mnl/min/cm2 at Δp=0.01 bar.
