ATEX Certified | Hazardous Area Locations & Explosive Atmospheres

Thermocoax Isopad FIGB-SR gas bottle heaters are a heavy duty heated enclosure designed specifically to solve the issues associated with gas usage in cold climates such as gas separation, gas liquefaction and reduced capacity in the hazardous area industries.

Many gases are now supplied in metal bottles and although the removal of the gas in many applications poses no problem, cylinders containing higher-quality gases need to be heated to guarantee complete removal of all of the gas.

Gas bottle heaters keep the bottles free from ice, maintain a constant pressure within the bottle, and enable the gas to be kept at an optimum processing temperature.

In hazardous area conditions additional safety is recommended. These gas bottle heaters are designed to control gaseous media within their classified area and temperature class.

Thermocoax Isopad FIGB-SR gas bottle heaters are ATEX and IECEx approved by Baseefa for use within Zone 1 and Zone 2 as well as Zone 21 and Zone 22 hazardous areas and are equipped with a self-regulating heating system as standard.

The FIGB-SR gas bottle heater is constructed from heavy gauge sheet steel with a double skin construction housing the electric heating elements which cover the entire inner surface ensuring the gas bottle is heated consistently. These heating elements are insulated to prevent heat loss through the outer wall and the inner walls are also painted with a thermally conductive paint to give maximum heat transfer. The clam shell design and castors allow the gas bottle heaters to be wheeled up to and closed around the gas bottle, eliminated overhead lifting.
