Description
FE1 heaters are ATEX Approved to Directive 94/9/EC for use in hazardous locations. They are designed for dry indoor industrial applications such as oil refineries, petrochemical plants, pulp and paper mills, hazardous waste storage facilities, wastewater treatment plants, etc., where specific explosive gases or dusts maybe present.
The induced vacuum within the sealed core provides greater efficiency, even distribution of heat across the face of the exchanger, and a faster warm-up. When necessary, the entire core can be safely and easily replaced with a new or factory reconditioned exchange unit.
The heater core assembly is contained in a sturdy, epoxycoated. A steel cabinet which also carries the motor and fan assembly. Adjustable louvres allow directional control of the airflow. A narrow gap, two-piece fan guard is provided to shield all moving parts. All fasteners are zinc plated for corrosion protection.
