Explosion Proof Air Heater | ATEX Certified Air Warmer

Cold and damp conditions can damage electronics, slow workflows, and trigger false alarms. The Atex Air Warmers FAW-C-250 solves these issues with compact, targeted heat designed for hazardous areas. This Explosion Proof Air heater delivers 250 W of steady warming to stop condensation, protect components, and make small rooms or cabinets usable in minutes. It mounts quickly, runs quietly, and stands up to real-world sites with dust, salt, and chemical exposure. Set your control, secure the unit, and keep your process stable all year. Available at Atex Hub.

what is Explosion Proof Air heater

An Explosion Proof Air heater is an electric heater engineered for explosive atmospheres. It keeps any internal fault or spark safely contained so it cannot ignite flammable gases, vapours, or dust. The FAW-C-250 uses ATEX-compliant housings, sealed terminals, and certified cable glands to maintain integrity. A small industrial fan draws air across protected heating elements and sends warm air back into the space. With over-temperature protection and optional thermostats, you get safe, even heat for cabinets, enclosures, and small shelters—without compromising your hazardous-area classification.

key uses of Explosion Proof Air heater

Use the FAW-C-250 wherever cold or moisture harms uptime. Keep PLCs, MCCs, analysers, and instruments dry so boards and sensors stay reliable. Prevent battery voltage drop in low temperatures. Stabilize sample lines and conditioning boxes to reduce drift. Pre-warm pump or compressor enclosures to help sticky valves and viscous fluids behave at start-up. During maintenance or commissioning, this compact heater provides temporary heat with simple mounting and fast results. Because it is Ex-certified, you can run it confidently inside classified areas and still meet permits and method statements.

key applications

The FAW-C-250 fits Zone 1 & Zone 2 gas/vapor areas (dust variants available—confirm during selection). Common applications include electrical cabinets, instrument houses, container modules, battery/inverter rooms, small control rooms, and skid enclosures. Its coated, gasketed housing resists corrosion and ingress in coastal or chemical environments. A sealed airflow path performs well in dusty or humid spaces. Pair the heater with a panel thermostat for anti-condensation duty, or a room thermostat for small-space heating. Flexible mounting and ATEX cable entry options make both new builds and retrofits straightforward.

FAQs — Explosion Proof Air heater (FAW-C-250)

1) What makes the FAW-C-250 explosion proof?
Ex d/Ex e assemblies, sealed terminations, and certified glands contain internal faults so they cannot ignite the external atmosphere.

2) Is 250 W enough for my cabinet?
For most electrical cabinets and small enclosures, 250 W prevents condensation effectively. Share dimensions and ambient for precise sizing.

3) Can I automate temperature control?
Yes. Use a panel thermostat for cabinets or a room thermostat for small spaces. An over-temperature cut-out is built in.

4) Does it suit Zone 1 and Zone 2?
Yes. Models cover Zone 1 & Zone 2 gas/vapor areas. Gas group and T-class are confirmed at order.

5) How does it handle harsh environments?
The IP65/66 enclosure, coated metals, and gasketed panels resist dust, moisture, and chemical splash. Stainless options are available.

6) Is maintenance difficult?
No. The design allows quick inspection and cleaning during planned shutdowns. Follow the IOM for intervals.

7) What documents are supplied?
You receive ATEX/IECEx certificates, nameplate data, wiring diagrams, and Installation & Operation Manuals aligned to your method statements.
