ATEX Fan Heaters – Offshore Portable Fan Heater – EXHEAT MFH “The Bulldog”

Product Overview

Offshore Portable Fan Heater | Zone 1 or Zone 2 (IIB) or Zone 21 or Zone 22 (IIC)

atex certified

EXHEAT MFH “Bulldog” offshore portable flameproof fan heatersprovide safe portable, hazardous area certified heating and air warming for Zone 1 & Zone 2 (Flammable Gas) and Zone 21 & Zone 22 (Dust) hazardous areas and explosive atmospheres according to ATEX Directive in offshore hazardous areas.

The Bulldog offshore portable fan heater is the world’s first truly portable hazardous area fan assisted heater. The ATEX heaters feature a patented design (GB1614657.3) which utilises salt-water resistant materials to provide a portable heating solution for use in offshore environments where the potentially explosive atmosphere is classified as hazardous area Zone 1 or Zone 2 (IIB) or Zone 21 or Zone 22 (IIC).

Offshore “Bulldog” flameproof fan heaters are certified to meet ATEX equipment directive and are tough and durable with a casing made from steel reinforced polymer. The unit has adjustable feet allowing for the heater to be angled into position and the compact design means it can be easily stored or transported.

Typical heating applications include offshore containers, production platforms, paint curing and stores, spray booths, oil refineries and drilling and fabric maintenance.

The Offshore “Bulldog” can be used with or without ducting to provide a warm stream of air that can be felt up to five metres away, in ambient temperatures as low as -40°C or as high as +40°C.

The hazardous area portable fan heater comes ready to plug and play with the option of fitting a plug, or hard wiring to an isolator unit and can be optionally fitted with an additional safety device above and beyond the requirements of the certification.

features

• Authorised and certified for offshore applications/installations
• T Classes Available in T3 and T4 temperature classes for hazardous area zones
• Temperature range – Suitable for ambient temperatures as low as 40ºC and up to +40°
• Heater Power Rating – Up to 6kW. The heater can be directed at an engineer working in a larger space, or at the same time, warm a mid sized room to a comfortable operating temperature for all within
• Design – Fan heater offshore design includes a standard local isolator, anti-static castors and two side handles
• Portable and lightweight, allowing for single user manipulation / operation. Can be supplied on a long flying lead to get heat where you need it

Product Range

Fan heater suitable for hazardous area Zone 1 & Zone 2 (IIB, IIC) gas groups.

* Voltage tolerance +0/-10%.
** Minimum SWA multicore cables required: 3Ph 380V–690V heaters require 4mm², 1Ph 220V-277V T4 heaters require 4mm², 110V-120V T4 & 220V-277V T3 heaters require 6mm², 110V-120V T3 heaters require 10mm².
*** ΔT (Delta T) refers to the air temperature difference at the inlet and outlet. For example, if the ambient is +6°C and the ΔT (temperature rise) is 15°C, then the outlet will be +21°C.
**** The maximum current includes the maximum motor inrush.
All values based on 25m cable lengths and an acceptable voltage drop of 4% at +40°C ambient.
