Cold spaces in hazardous zones can stop work, damage electronics, and create moisture problems. The Atex Air Warmers FAW-C-1000 solves this with safe, steady heat made specifically for classified areas. This model delivers 1,000 W of controlled warm air inside enclosures, small rooms, and technical shelters without adding ignition risk. You get fast start-up, smooth airflow, and rugged construction that stands up to dust, salt, and chemicals. Installation is simple, control is precise, and service is straightforward. Set the temperature, secure the unit, and keep people and equipment working. Available at Atex Hub.
what is Explosion Proof Air Warmers
Explosion Proof Air Warmers are electric heaters designed for use in explosive atmospheres where flammable gases, vapours, or dust may be present. Unlike ordinary heaters, the FAW-C-1000 uses ATEX-compliant parts, sealed terminals, and certified cable glands so any internal fault stays contained. An industrial fan draws air across protected heating elements and pushes it back into the space, raising the temperature evenly. Over-temperature protection and optional thermostats keep heat safe and stable. You can use one unit for anti-condensation duty in a cabinet, or several units to warm a small shelter or analyser room.
key uses of Explosion Proof Air Warmers
Use the FAW-C-1000 wherever cold harms uptime or quality. Keep PLCs, MCCs, and analysers dry and within spec by stopping condensation on boards and sensors. Warm battery rooms to avoid low-temperature trips and extend service life. In instrument houses and sample conditioning boxes, steady heat reduces drift and nuisance alarms. On pump and compressor skids, raise enclosure temperature before start-up to prevent sticking valves and viscous fluids. Maintenance teams also rely on these warmers as temporary heat during shutdowns or commissioning, because they install quickly and run reliably.
key applications
The FAW-C-1000 fits Zone 1 & Zone 2 gas/vapor areas (dust options available on request—confirm during selection). Typical applications include electrical cabinets, control rooms, container modules, instrument shelters, battery/inverter rooms, and small process rooms. The coated, gasketed housing resists chemical splash and coastal air, while the sealed airflow path performs well in dusty or humid conditions. Pair the heater with a room thermostat for space heating, or a panel thermostat for cabinet anti-condensation. Flexible mounting options and ATEX cable entries make integration faster and cleaner on new builds and retrofits.

With Atex Hub, you also get sizing help, drawings, and documentation that match permits and inspections—so your install passes the first time and keeps performing.
FAQs — Explosion Proof Air Warmers (FAW-C-1000)
1) What makes the FAW-C-1000 explosion proof?
It uses Ex d/Ex e assemblies, sealed terminations, and certified glands so internal faults are contained and cannot ignite the surrounding atmosphere.
2) Is 1 kW enough for my space?
For cabinets and small shelters, 1 kW is often ideal. Share dimensions, insulation, and target temperature, and we’ll size it precisely.
3) Can I control the temperature automatically?
Yes. Choose a room thermostat for space heating or a panel thermostat for cabinet anti-condensation. 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. We confirm gas group and T-class during order.
5) How does it handle corrosion and ingress?
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 straightforward inspection and filter/guard cleaning during planned shutdowns. Follow the IOM for intervals.
7) What documentation comes with the unit?
You receive ATEX/IECEx certificates, nameplate data, wiring diagrams, and Installation & Operation Manuals aligned to your method statements.
Conclusion
The Atex Air Warmers FAW-C-1000 brings 1 kW of compliant, targeted heat to the places that need it most—cabinets, shelters, and small rooms in hazardous zones. With ATEX integrity, IP-rated enclosures, and simple control options, it stops condensation, stabilizes instruments, and keeps teams productive. For safe, reliable warming in classified spaces, choose FAW-C-1000—available at Atex Hub.
