ATEX Gas Bottle Heater | WEXHB

Hazardous Area Gas Cylinder Heater

ATEX gas bottles heaters are used for protection against frost, temperature maintenance and process heating* in the temperature range from -40 °C to +50 °C. A gas bottle heater is useful when extracting and processing gases. The gas cylinder heaters have protection class IP 65 and are ATEX certified.

*Note: Please consider the technical rules TRG 310 / TRBS 3145 / TRGS 745. Maximum operating temperature 50 °C (cylinder temperature).

Together with Winkler, Thorne & Derrick can offer a wide range of gas bottle heaters with ATEX certification for safe use in potentially explosive atmospheres, including Zone 1 & Zone 2 hazardous areas.

Depending on the application, different amounts of heat are introduced to keep the contents at an optimum processing temperature. The robust design and high quality materials and components ensure a safe and reliable operation of the gas bottle heating jackets.
