Helios EHSAFE20AL 2kW ATEX Approved Heater

• Single element
• IP66 rating
• Easy to fit tilt and swivel mounting bracket
• Gold quartz halogen element for neutral light output
• Optically designed parabolic reflector for maximum heat output
• Rugged powder-coated mild-steel enclosure

This is the latest version of the ATEX certified shortwave infrared heater developed by Star Progetti (patent pending) designed to deliver usable warmth in areas where potentially explosive gases may be present (Zones 2-22).

Compared with other types of ATEX compliant heaters, EHSAFE20AL provides a very high heat output coupled with very low purchase price and running costs. Other ATEX-approved heaters work by warming the air whereas this heater delivers shortwave infrared, making it ideal for spot heating cold, damp and draughty workplaces. It is particularly suited to ATEX areas where high ventilation rates are needed to extract fumes and/or hazardous dust particles —areas where attempting to warm people by warming the air would be impractical.

EHSAFE20AL is both dust tight and impervious to strong direct water jets (IP66). The heavy-duty cast aluminium enclosure is designed to convect away surplus heat for maximum reliability. Features a high-emissivity ROBAX glass front and a substantial tilt and swivel mounting bracket. Four M6 threaded suspension points are included to enable the heater to be suspended from chains. Typical heated area is 20m².

Warning:
Please note: This heater is suitable for installation in explosive atmosphere conditions, classified zone 2-22, persuant to directives 94/9 and 99/92 EC ATEX.
Zone 2-22 indicates that the atmosphere, which is normally not explosive during routine use, may, on rare occasions, briefly become explosive (generally in the presence of a malfunction). The heater therefore cannot be installed in zones other than those classed as ZONE 2-22. T2 indicates that the ignition temperature of the flammable gasses of the clasified zone must be higher than 300°C. The table below (from EN 13463-1) lists other temperature classes.

Please note: Controls will need to be mounted outside the ATEX zone.

240v and 110v versions available. Please note that the 110v version is made to order.
