Product Overview

The EXHEAT LFH-15 is one of the most powerful ATEX temporary fan heaters on the market, engineered for reliable performance in hazardous area Zone 1 and Zone 2 environments. Designed for demanding industrial applications, the LFH-15 delivers a stable 15kW heating output and class-leading efficiency, making it the ideal choice for temporary fan heating in oil & gas facilities, offshore platforms, refineries and industrial maintenance zones.

Unlike conventional temporary heaters, the EXHEAT LFH-15 ATEX Heater provides continuous, uninterrupted heat thanks to patented heating technology capable of raising air temperature by up to 38°C from inlet to outlet. This exceptional ΔT, combined with an airflow of up to 2,240 m³/hr, enables rapid and efficient heating of confined spaces, temporary enclosures, habitats and critical on-site work areas. Its robust stainless steel construction, anti-static castors, lifting handles and full ducting compatibility ensure simple deployment and long-lasting durability in the harshest operating conditions.
