ELECTRIC HEAT EXCHANGERS for air ATEX (esplosion area)
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS:
Electric heat exchangers are referred to as ATEX air heaters installed on board a pressurized cylindrical container for use in explosive atmosphere; are manufactured to meet the most varied industrial applications in the heating of gaseous fluids, whether they are air or gas mixtures.
This type of heaters guarantees high performance and efficiency in maintaining high volumes of gaseous fluids in forced circulation; the heating elements that make up the tubular bundle may mainly consist of U-shaped, eyebolts or torch-wound shapes.
This type of resistors is designed for horizontal and vertical installation, in the direct heating of forced air and / or gas, as well as indirect indirect heating of fluids for the most unlimited use in the major industrial sectors.
Thermal exchange is guaranteed by the use of suitably designed seals (usually 50% or 75% diaphragms or laser cut spacers) to maximize the heat produced by electric resistors with reduced load loss (expressed in millimeters of water columns – mmH2O).
The use of high-quality materials within our production cycle enables our ATEX process electric heaters to achieve high operating temperatures and a medium to long-term operating life.
USE
This type of heaters guarantees optimal thermal exchange, even in very compact dimensions, and at the same time, control the fluid temperature very precisely, especially if the power is controlled by a SCR (Solid Control Relais) control system.
To ensure the design of an efficient flush diving electric heater, you need to know the following technical parameters:
To ensure that these products are installed in hazardous and explosive atmospheres, electrical wiring is housed and hermetically sealed inside one or more enclosures of electrical wiring or tested for use in explosive atmospheres with a protective index IP65 / 66.
The armored heating elements installed on board these special heaters are also drawn and positioned with a precise lay-out, so as to make the heat exchange optimal.
Each element is welded to TIG or silver alloy welded on unified DIN or ANSI flanges or on flange unity joints of variable size depending on working pressure and working temperature.
The skin temperature on the elements depends on the output temperature required by the specific application and the surface load (W / cm²) above, of course the type of fluid to be heated and its speed, measured in meters per second (m / s) or in cubic meters per hour (m3 / h).
The head of explosion-proof electrical connections is the area most stressed by the application to which these heaters are subjected.
We are able to produce process heaters with ATEX-certified anti-deflagrant (certified for use explosive atmosphere Eex-de, Zone 1 and 2 – II2G / D ATEX) CE markings, fully compliant with recent CEI and CENELEC standards.
This type of ATEX process air heaters for air heating is made of high quality materials for the heating tubing of carbon steel, stainless steel AISI304, AISI321, AISI316L, AISI316L S.S., Incoloy800, Incoloy825 and Inconel.
The pressurized tank housing the tube bundle can be made of Carbon Steel, AISI304, AISI316, electrically or extruded, or, alternatively, in special Superduplex SAF-2507 specialty material for marine applications.
The power can be concentrated in one or more power stages with the respective inlet inputs of the Gas, Metric, BSP, NPT or Gk pitch connections. also used for the independent power supplies of the thermoregulation devices installed on the heating heater.

This type of ATEX heat exchanger for air is suitably equipped with efficient thermoregulators (temperature control thermostats with adjustable temperature range, automatic or manual reset, or alternatively, skin safety thermostats with cutout, thermoresistance PT100 and / or thermocouples “J” or “K”), suitable for protecting the heater from overheating and possible premature damage. On the board of the electrical wiring, according to the specific needs of the customer, the power inputs (NPT or GAS) are also sized according to the number of installed elements, the power and the hollow which determines the cable section .
Depending on the specific temperature and the amount of air to be heated, it is possible to configure the design of the electric heat exchanger consisting of one or more pressurized (also suitably insulated) reservoirs connected in series with each other and one or more heads side by side or placed at each other end of the mantle as shown below:
