Pictured: Below is a 15kW Hazloc AEU1 hazardous location heater with a factory built-in electronic thermostat to provide freeze prevention installed on the Torm Almena vessel.
The explosion proof heater is used onboard oil and chemical tankers where it provides heat to the ballast water treatment system deckhouse installed on the main deck.
All the hazardous area certified equipment inside the deckhouse must be minimum Apparatus Class IIB and Temperature Class T4 due to the cargo’s onboard the vessels. The electric heater is used during the winter time where the fresh water and seawater pipes will freeze if the compartment is not heated.
TORM A/S (based in Copenhagen, Denmark) selected Hazloc Heaters to be used on 12 of their current vessels.
TORM is a pure play product tanker company and one of the world’s leading carriers of refined oil products such as gasoline, jet fuel, naphtha and diesel oil. With vessels varying in size from 35,000-114,000 dwt., TORM operates a large modern fleet of product tankers.
Hazloc Heaters for explosive atmospheres are suitable for use in USA, Canada, Russia and Europe with international hazardous area certifications including ATEX, IECEx, EAC Ex and CSA for both gas and dust atmospheres.
These explosion proof heaters provide space heating, air warming and freeze protection in hazardous areas (gas or dust atmospheres).
The Hazloc explosion proof heater range consists of the AEU1 and XEU1 series. Hazloc AEU1 is an ATEX & IECEx Certified Explosion Proof Electric Heater suitable for use in Europe, Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus while Hazloc XEU1 is suitable for the USA and Canada as well as Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus.
Explosion Proof Heaters
ATEX & IECEX Certifications
3kW – 30kW | 230V – 480V (50 or 60 Hertz) T4Â
Hazloc AEU1 explosion proof heaters are CE Marked and certified for hazardous area Zones and locations to meet ATEX and IECEx requirements – the heaters have also received the Eurasian Conformity (EAC Ex) Mark certifying them for hazardous area locations to the new Customs Union Technical Regulations.
3 sizes of AEU1 heaters include the ExCaliber high performance liquid-to-air heat-exchanger cores available in twenty-six 230VAC or 400VAC, 50 Hz model choices to meet the specific heat output requirements and sixteen 480 Volt, 60 Hz models to accommodate shipping vessels, offshore rigs or other applications requiring 60 Hz.
The rugged and versatile AEU1 heater incorporates a high quality immersion heater, high performance fan and motor assembly, a sturdy 2 mm (14 GA) steel cabinet with epoxy/polyester powder coating for corrosion resistance, large control enclosure with an extra port for convenient wiring of an external room thermostat, and enclosure O-rings to minimize moisture ingress. Standard safety features include two temperature high limits and a pressure relief device.
AEU1 electric air heater is suitable for ATEX/IECEx/EAC Ex Zone 1 & 2 hazardous areas (Explosive Gas & Dust Atmospheres) – with 3kW to 30kW high power outputs for the circulation of air flow to large potentially explosive atmosphere areas. Maintaining site efficiency and worker productivity in extreme temperatures and T Class ratings to T4.

A driving factor in converting the ATEX lighting on an offshore platform to LED Technology is the constant maintenance requirements of conventional fluorescent type lighting. An offshore rig is subjected to corrosive atmospheres, continuous vibrations, shocks and fire risk. LEDs contain no moving parts, are more durable and withstand shock and corrosion better. The ability of LED type light fittings to ignite spark-free is also an advantage in flammable environments and explosive atmospheres.
Most industrial LED luminaires and light fittings are rated for 60,000 hours of life at 55ºC. This means that at ambient temperatures of 25°C and 40°C, the useful life of an LED luminaire could be as long as 170,000 hours and 100,000 hours respectively. 170,000 hours equals almost 20 years of continuous, maintenance-free operation for LED type light fittings.
LED light fittings currently occupy around 18% of the market, but this is projected to grow in the medium to long term. According to a report from McKinsey, LEDs will represent 60% of the general lighting market by 2020.
Approximately 20% of the power demand on an oil and gas platform each day is consumed by the demands of lighting. This puts managing energy costs at a high priority.
A 50,000 lumen LED floodlight can consume as little as 450W. This is equivalent to a 1500W HID light at a 65% reduction in energy costs.

Because of their ability to dramatically reduce energy consumption, LED lights are regarded as a green lighting alternative. And, because they contain no hazardous chemicals, their disposal represents less of an environmental threat.
Most LED products have an L70 rating, which means you can expect them to run 60,000 to 70,000 hours before light output is reduced by 30% of maximum capacity. Some of the most advanced boast ratings of up to 100,000 hours, with performance often improving in cold temperatures. Compared to expected ratings of around 20,000 hours for conventional fluorescent-based fixtures, LEDs offer a potential three-to fivefold reduction in hazardous area repair and maintenance.
The solid-state construction of LEDs light fittings is very robust—meaning they are less prone to premature or unplanned failure in harsh and hazardous locations. This makes them ideal for high vibration and abusive applications.
When Mexico’s largest oil company PEMEX decided to replace existing hazardous area lighting with LED technology, it experienced a 66% reduction in energy consumption.
LED lighting technology has now reached a point where quality is high enough for large-scale industrial application, while LED solutions have become affordable enough to make the financial proposition worthwhile. Current estimates suggest that the general payback period for industrial LED installation is now 3 years or less, down from 10 just a few years ago—and that figure is arguably lower for high power consumption operations such as offshore drilling in the oil and gas sector of the hazardous area industry.

Heating Epoxy Resin
Q1/ I’m looking for an IBC heater jacket to warm full IBCs of liquid epoxy resin to 60 degrees Celsius before we decant the resin. The electrical heating process can take place over 24-48 hours – Â we’d need to run on 240V power supply. Your IBC heater jackets look ideal for this application. Please could you advise on the most suitable product for this application and advise typical lead times.
The IBC containers are located within a safe area, non-hazardous therefore no ATEX Certification is required.
A1/ Yes, here we would supply a 3KW IBC heating jacket – our stock item IBC- HF6IBC23 would provide sufficient electrical surface heating to allow decanting of the epoxy resin. Heating jackets are ex stock, delivery is to world-wide locations.
