PORTABLE HEATING & VENTILATION FOR HAZARDOUS AREAS

Improve Safety | Increase Reliability | Reduce Costs

Thorne & Derrick continue to bring ATEX Innovations to the Oil & Gas industry.

Appearing this month on the front cover of Platform magazine are our new Portable Heating & Ventilation solutions for use offshore.

As Main Distributors for EXHEAT & Woodcock & Wilson Ltd we distribute ATEX & IECEx portable ventilation fans and electric heaters to improve safety, increase reliability and optimise productivity in explosive atmospheres

October Webinars

Due to COVID restrictions, T&D will be carrying out three webinars during October to demonstrate the products and answer any technical questions. For more information, please contact Terry McDonald 0191 410 4292.

HAZARDOUS AREA FAN HEATERS

ATEX CERTIFIED | UP TO 40KW

High Power Temporary Heater

A major development in offshore and hazardous area heaters sees the launch of the LFH high power fan heater. The first heater in the world to combine high power and ducting options to get heat where you need it.

Existing fixed fan heaters have always offered high power and impressive heat up performance but it has never been possible to add ducting to these heaters. This is because the ducting disrupts the airflow and can cause such heaters to overheat. It is always stated as a special condition of use on any EX certificate for such heaters, that ducting must not be added. The LFH is a gamechanger. This heater provides class leading heat up, air flow and can be ducted front and rear.

EXHEAT LFH Hazardous Area Fan Heater Can Be Ducted Front & Rear

Zone 1 & Zone 2 (IIB) | T2 T3 & T4 Temperature Classes

Designed specifically for the offshore industry and harsh industrial environments. incorporating a stainless steel casing for added toughness and durability, the LFH electric fan heater is designed to operate in ambient temperatures of -40°C to +40°C,

Certified to the new EN 80079-36 and EN 80079-37 standards for constructional safety, the EXHEAT LFH is supplied ready to ‘plug and play’, with the option of fitting a plug, or hard wiring to an isolator unit.

Depending on the heater model selected, inlet air temperatures can be increased by up to 46°C. Heaters are available up to 40kW output and provide class leading, energy efficient heating solutions for both onshore and offshore applications. The LFH Fan Heater combines superior electrical heating efficiency with simple functionality to provide a next-generation heating solution for use in hazardous area environments where the explosive atmospheres could be present.

EXHEAT MFH Fan Heaters – Applications

Fuel servicing areas
Chemical plants
Offshore installations
Battery stores
Gas installations
Containers
Explosive stores
Paint / solvent stores
Dusty environments
Sugar refineries
Firework factories
Ammunition depots
Portable washdown heaters
Heating and drying manholes prior to spraylining

OFFSHORE HEATER VARIANT

Certified and modified for offshore applications.

Following the launch of the MFH Bulldog, Thorne & Derrick have worked in close collaboration with the offshore oil and gas industry – this includes exploration and production companies, engineering contractors and ATEX compliance inspectors to ensure the heater was fit for purpose. This process involved gaining feedback on the basic design and taking advice on what users needed to comply with offshore regulations for safe use of portable equipment. The offshore model has now been developed and received an Offshore Inspection Release Notice.

The Bulldog heater is now currently being used on assets owned and operated by some of the largest international O&G companies including BP, Shell, Apache and Total.
