Stay warm, safe, and compliant in hazardous areas. Atex Convector Heaters deliver reliable, even heat in sites where explosive gases or dust may be present. Built for the UAE’s demanding conditions—Dubai coastal air, Abu Dhabi refineries, and Sharjah warehouses—these Ex Proof / Explosion Proof Convector Heaters combine solid engineering with simple, low-noise operation. Supplied by Atex Hub, they help you prevent condensation, protect equipment, and keep people comfortable without risking ignition.
An Atex Convector Heater is an electric heater designed specifically for hazardous areas. It warms air naturally (no fan) and spreads heat evenly around the room. Unlike standard heaters, it uses flameproof (Ex d) or increased-safety (Ex e) construction, sealed terminals, and robust housings to avoid sparks or hot surfaces that could ignite vapours or dust. In Dubai and across the UAE, these ATEX certified heaters are widely used in control rooms, MCCs, pump houses, paint stores, offshore cabins, and skids where safety, uptime, and compliance matter.
Condensation control: Keep switchgear, panels, and instruments dry in Dubai and Sharjah humidity.
Process stability: Maintain temperature for chemicals, paints, adhesives, and sensitive media.
Personnel comfort: Quiet background heat for cabins, shelters, labs, and control rooms.
Frost/low-temp protection: Safeguard equipment during winter nights or chilled stores.
Standby spaces: Warm staging zones so equipment starts smoothly when needed.
Oil & Gas (Dubai, Abu Dhabi): Analyzer shelters, compressor rooms, pump stations.
Chemicals & Petrochem: Solvent stores, blending rooms, hazardous material areas.
Marine & Offshore: Vessel cabins, engine room ancillaries, offshore modules.
Utilities & Power: Battery rooms, water treatment plants, gas distribution sites.
Warehousing: Ex-classified stores for resins, paints, aerosols, and flammables.
ATEX/IECEx peace of mind: Purpose-built for Zone 1/2 (gas) and Zone 21/22 (dust) areas.
IP66/IP67 weatherproofing: Works reliably in sand, dust, spray, and coastal air.
Silent, efficient heating: No fans, no drafts—just steady, even warmth.
Low maintenance: Few moving parts, long service life, easy to clean.
Local fit: Voltage options and corrosion-resistant finishes suit UAE plants.
From Atex Hub: Genuine certification packs and quick technical support.

1) Are these heaters approved for Dubai industrial zones?
Yes. Models are supplied with ATEX/IECEx documentation suitable for Zone 1/2 and, where applicable, Zone 21/22 sites in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah.
2) Can I use them in coastal environments around Abu Dhabi and Sharjah?
Yes. IP66/IP67 enclosures and corrosion-resistant finishes handle saline air and washdown.
3) Do they run quietly for control rooms?
Absolutely. Convector heaters are fan-less, providing silent, even heat—ideal for analyser shelters and MCCs.
4) What power sizes are typical in UAE plants?
Common selections range from 500 W to 2000 W. Atex Hub will size the heater for your room volume and heat loss.
5) Can I control temperature precisely?
Yes. Choose an integral thermostat or remote controller to hold the setpoint and limit condensation.
6) Are they suitable for dust zones in Sharjah warehouses?
Yes—choose the dust-certified variant per Zone 21/22 classification and confirm the Ex code on the certificate.
7) How quickly can I get certificates for my safety file?
Atex Hub provides the latest ATEX/IECEx certificates, nameplate data, and a Declaration of Conformity with your order.
When you need safe, quiet, and dependable heating in hazardous areas across the UAE, choose Atex Convector Heaters from Atex Hub. From Dubai analyser shelters to Abu Dhabi pump rooms and Sharjah stores, you’ll get compliant warmth, reduced condensation, and long service life—without compromise.
