The pressure compensation elements serve for the aeration and deaeration of components, especially of enclosures.
For drainage plugs, please click here.
This is especially important to avoid damage to built-in components caused by condensation that occurs because of variations in temperature/pressure peaks.

An important performance feature of the pressure compensation elements is the high air flow rate combined with high water retention capacity. Thus the internal pressure of closed enclosures is adapted to the ambient pressure, and at the same time, water penetration is prevented. This pressure compensation is also possible in conjunction with screwed cable glands ( "breathing cable gland").
In addition, we provide elements which dissipate the water from the housing interior and optionally at the same time equalize the pressure.
We are thus 3 possibilities:
- pressure compensation M12 elements from the series GH02/DAE
- cable connectors with integrated pressure equalization from the series GH02/KVDAE
- drainage and venting nozzle from the series EWS and EWLS
Degrees of impermeability attainable with these pressure compensation elements: IP66, IP68 and IPX9-k.
This is technically realized by means of a membrane foil integrated into the element, which is permeable to air on both sides and permeable to water on one side.
Different versions are available which differ in
- material (polyamide, stainless steel V2A (1.4305) or stainless steel V4A (1.4404))
- color (black or RAL 7035 light grey)
- thread length (6.6 or 10mm )
- counter nuts are available

Additional information:
- Usually, 1 pressure compensation element per enclosure is sufficient, but this depends on environmental factors as well as on the sensitivity of the electronic devices present; we would therefore recommend that you carry out your own tests in any case.
Properties of the membrane foil:
- air flow rate: 0.4 l/min at 0.1 bar Delta P to 5.0 l/min at 1 bar Delta P
- water entry pressure: up to 1.0 bar
(this can be increased up to 1.5 bar. For this purpose, you are required to order an IP68-enclosure and the respective individual degree of protection test)
- temperature stability: -40°C to +120°C (as integrated part of an installation)
- dust proofness acc. to EN 60529:2000
- water jet protection and protection against permanent immersion EN 60529:2000
- protection against high pressure/steam jet cleaning acc. to DIN 40050

Air passage test:
The pressure compensation element was screwed in into a thread adapter and subjected to a defined quantity of air by means of a mass flow controller 5 LN/MIN and/or 20 LN/MIN made by Bronkhorst. In doing so, the air pressure was measured with a pressure sensor PMP 4070 from the same company shortly in front of the pressure compensation element.
The following amounts of air, as a function of the air pressure, were determined:

Cable glands series GH02/KVDAE (with integrated pressure compensation)
|
|
With the series GH02/KVDAE cable glands and pressure compensation elements are combined. Pressure distinctions in- and outside of an enclosure can be compensated with a micro-porous, liquid-tight membrane. Hence, condensation is reduced to a minimum. Thus, the series GH02/KVDAE is excellently suitable for using in areas of machine and motor construction, in luminaire production or in industrial equipment construction.
|
|
|
|
With the breathing cable glands all requirements on a cable gland are continuously satisfied, whereas economical aspects are taken into account. Neither further components nor extra mounting or drilling are necessary. Due to the identical sizes, former cable glands can easily be replaced by the new series GH02/KVDAE.
|
