Heating solutions
Heating solutions are essential for maintaining safe and reliable operations in hazardous and industrial environments. In ATEX and IECEx zones, where flammable gases, vapors, or dusts may be present, specialized hazardous area heating systems help ensure safety, prevent equipment failures, and meet strict international standards. Whether used for freeze protection, process heating, or temperature maintenance, the right system improves efficiency and reduces operational risks.
Why Heating Solutions matter in hazardous areas?
In industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, food production, and pharmaceuticals, temperature control is essential. Uncontrolled cold conditions can lead to equipment damage, production downtime, and safety hazards—particularly in outdoor installations or unheated facilities. Industrial heating systems help prevent such issues by keeping critical infrastructure at the required operating temperatures.
In hazardous areas, standard heating equipment is not suitable due to the risk of ignition. Instead, ATEX heating systems are used. These are specifically engineered and certified to operate safely in explosive atmospheres (Zones 1, 2, 21, and 22), with designs that prevent sparks, hot surfaces, or faults from becoming ignition sources.
Two key types of Heating Solutions
Our heating solutions category includes two primary product types designed for industrial and hazardous area applications:
1. Heaters
Industrial heaters are used to warm air, surfaces, or enclosures. Common applications include:
-
Cabinet and enclosure heaters: Prevent condensation and frost inside control panels or switchgear.
-
Space heaters: Maintain ambient temperature in equipment rooms, shelters, or processing zones.
-
Immersion heaters: Directly heat fluids such as oil, water, or chemicals inside tanks and vessels.
-
Convection and fan heaters: Distribute heat evenly across larger spaces.
These heaters are available in ATEX-certified models for use in flammable or dusty environments. Key benefits include long service life, minimal maintenance, and robust construction suitable for demanding industrial use.
Trace heating, also known as heat tracing, involves the use of electrically heated cables that run along pipes, vessels, or tanks to maintain or raise their temperature. It’s widely used for:
-
Freeze protection of water lines, fire suppression systems, and chemical pipelines.
-
Process temperature maintenance in oil & gas pipelines, chemical feed lines, and food processing lines.
-
Condensation prevention in instrument lines and sensitive equipment.
Trace heating systems often include thermostats, sensors, and control units to ensure accurate, energy-efficient operation. Certified ATEX trace heating systems are available for use in hazardous zones where reliable performance and ignition protection are required.
Benefits of industrial heating in hazardous areas
Choosing the right hazardous area heating solution offers a range of advantages:
-
Safety: Prevents freezing, overheating, or condensation that could lead to failures or hazards.
-
Compliance: Meets international standards such as ATEX and IECEx for use in explosive atmospheres.
-
Performance: Maintains consistent temperatures for critical processes and systems.
-
Efficiency: Many systems are energy-optimized and equipped with advanced control features.
-
Durability: Built to withstand corrosion, vibration, and extreme environmental conditions.
Whether protecting a pipeline from freezing or ensuring the stability of temperature-sensitive processes, heating solutions are an integral part of industrial infrastructure in hazardous zones.
