Core Product Features

Explosion-Proof Safety Design

This Explosion-Proof Breather Valve is constructed from high-strength aluminum alloy, offering not only structural durability but also corrosion resistance. The valve body is engineered to prevent ignition of surrounding flammable gases or vapors, conforming to explosion-proof application requirements, especially in ATEX and IECEx certified areas.

Integrated Signal Wiring for Remote Monitoring

Unlike traditional passive breather valves, this model includes electrical signal output wiring, enabling real-time status transmission to monitoring systems. This transforms it into a smart Explosion-Proof Valve With Sensor—suitable for integration with SCADA systems, alarm panels, and remote PLCs. When the valve reaches a pressure change, the electrical signal breather valve setup transmits a warning or status change signal to the operator, enhancing intrinsically safe monitoring capabilities.

Superior Ventilation Performance

• Air permeability of ≥600 ML/min at 1.5 kPa and ≥1000 ML/min at 2.5 kPa ensures that internal enclosures remain within safe pressure ranges.

• Supports both pressure relief and vacuum break functions to avoid tank deformation or seal failure.

• Large fully open exhaust area of 550 mm² enables rapid venting when pressure exceeds safe limits.

• Turning pressure range between 7–13 kPa provides stable and responsive operation for various applications.

Rugged Ingress Protection – IP68/6K9K Rated

The PBA4K-50E is IP68/6K9K certified, ensuring total protection against water, dust, high-pressure jets, and temporary immersion. This makes it an ideal choice for explosion-proof enclosures, battery compartments, or outdoor installations in extreme environments.

Compact Built-In Design

• Installation method: 4-hole built-in mounting

• Designed for flexible integration into equipment panels, vehicle battery boxes, storage tanks, or electrical cabinets.

• Offers space-saving implementation without compromising functionality.

Application Fields

This Explosion Proof Breather Vent is ideal for a wide variety of industrial, petrochemical, and electrical applications:

• Fuel and chemical storage tanks – Pressure balancing and explosion prevention

• Battery enclosures – Prevents thermal expansion and overpressure during charging

• Power distribution cabinets – Venting of gas buildup in explosion-prone zones

• Automotive and EV battery packs – Smart pressure control with feedback signal

• Industrial enclosures in hazardous areas (Zone 1/Zone 2) – Ensures environmental and explosion protection

• Offshore equipment – IP68-rated waterproofing ensures marine safety

By integrating both a ventilation mechanism and signal-based monitoring, the PBA4K-50E goes beyond conventional safety valves, serving as a critical component in digitalized safety management systems.
