EXAIR’s ATEX Cabinet Cooler Systems are specifically engineered for use in hazardous environments, making them ideal for UL classified Zones 2 and 22—areas where explosive atmospheres may occur infrequently or for short durations.(visit our website)
EXAIR ATEX Cabinet Coolers – Key Overview
- Certification Requirements: Must be used with a purge and vent system on the electrical panel to maintain ATEX certification
- Purge System Function: Designed to “flush” clean air into the panel, eliminating vapor and dust to create a non-hazardous environment before electrical operations begin
- Maximum Operating Pressure: Up to 8.6 BAR
- Maximum Inlet Air Temperature: 45°C
- Cooling Capacity Range:
- 1,000 to 5,600 BTU/hr
- Equivalent to 293 to 1,642 Watts
- Material Options:
- Aluminum
- 303 Stainless Steel (303SS)
- 316 Stainless Steel (316SS)
ATEX Compliance & Cabinet Cooler Identification
- Laser Marking for Identification
Each ATEX Cabinet Cooler is laser marked with its ATEX classification for quick and reliable reference during installation or inspection. - ATEX Nomenclature Standards
Classification follows the EN/IEC 60079-2 international standard for equipment used in explosive atmospheres, encompassing: - Three distinct zones based on frequency and duration of hazardous conditions
- Two categories of materials: gas/liquid and dust
- Approved Application Zones
EXAIR ATEX Cabinet Coolers are rated for: - Zone 2 – Areas with gas or vapor atmospheres that occur infrequently and briefly
- Zone 22 – Dust-prone environments with low probability of hazardous concentration
- ATEX Designation Breakdown
- Gas Atmospheres:
CE EX II 3 G Ex h IIC T3 Gc - II: Equipment group (non-mining)
- 3 G: Category 3, suitable for gas
- Ex h: Non-electrical protection concept
- IIC: Gas group (includes hydrogen and acetylene)
- T3: Temperature class (max surface temp ≤ 200°C)
- Gc: Equipment protection level for gas
- Dust Atmospheres:
CE EX II 3 D Ex h IIIC 200°C Dc
- 3 D: Category 3, suitable for dust
- Ex h: Non-electrical protection concept
- IIIC: Dust group (conductive dust)
- 200°C: Max surface temperature
- Dc: Equipment protection level for dust
This would include industries like oil and gas, chemical processing, pharmaceutical, and food processing plants. Designed for quick and easy installation, the ATEX Cabinet Cooler mounts through a standard electrical knockout and maintains NEMA 4/4X integrity even in demanding environments. Optional thermostat controls reduce compressed air usage, while cold air distribution kits ensure even cooling throughout the electrical panel.
