Explosion-Proof Unit Heaters
With an understanding of the damaging effects of corrosive environments, these heaters are equipped with advanced corrosion-resistant coatings and materials, ensuring durability and longevity in harsh conditions. Optional 316 stainless steel and Heresite® coating offer additional protection in corrosive settings.
The Explosion-Proof Unit Heaters are designed to operate reliably and efficiently across a range of temperatures. The T3C temperature rating of 320°F provides additional reliability and safety, ensuring optimal performance in applications from freezing cold to scorching heat.
airflow capabilities
The IP55 motor and type 4 outdoor-rated enclosure further ensure reliability in wet locations
Equipped with automatic and manual reset overtemperature cutouts, as well as a low 70 PSIG relief valve setting, the heaters provide an added layer of safety by preventing overheating and controlling pressure release. The explosion-proof unit heaters feature industrial-grade, corrosion-resistant cabinets and louvers, making them suitable for various installation scenarios.
The IP55 motor and type 4 outdoor-rated enclosure further ensure reliability in wet locations. With airflow capabilities ranging from 550 to 3850 CFM, these heaters efficiently distribute warm air across large areas, providing consistent and comfortable heating.
