ATEX Compact Fan Solution

Save energy safely.

Innovation in the Ex field. ebm-papst presents the first EC fans with explosion protection.

Highly efficient EC technology for ATEX applications

bob手机APP官方下载链接 is a pioneer and manufacturer of external rotor motors based on innovative EC technology. To ensure that ATEX applications also benefit from highly efficient EC technology, bob手机APP官方下载链接 has developed a series of certified motors.

These are available as compact fans, axial fans and centrifugal fans with backward curved impeller blades. They are based on various product series that have set global standards in terms of efficiency, noise behavior and compactness.

Applications

Refrigerants with a lower Global Warming Potential (GWP) value are also becoming increasingly popular in refrigerated counters and bottle coolers. These agents are environmentally friendly but flammable. Our ATEX-certified products ensure safe cooling and:

  • protection of customers and staff.

Air compressor, Close-up external split wall type of outdoor home air conditioner unit installed on outside building. Concepts of cool or heat or hot and air conditioning system maintenance.

Heat pumps are also increasingly relying on environmentally friendly but flammable refrigerants. Our ATEX products offer compact solutions for the safety concept of the heat pump. In the event of a leak, the Ex-fan vents the housing and offers even more benefits:

  • Quickly ready for use thanks to Plug & Play system.
  • Protection of people and property.

Fuel cells play an important role in energy generation and therefore also in the mobility of the future. Our compact fans cool the power electronics and battery in a fuel cell unit and can also be used for oxygen supply. Our ATEX products offer

  • personal protection.
  • energy efficiency.

Biogasanlage

The production of energy from renewable resources continues to increase. Biogas plants are also part of renewable energy production. The problem: biogas is highly flammable and can form a dangerous, explosive atmosphere with air. Our ATEX fans with explosion protection offer the solution to this problem and impress with their:

  • longevity.
  • energy efficiency with excellent control characteristics.
  • protection of people and property.

If flammable substances with a high degree of dispersion occur as dust, mist or vapor, this can lead to explosions. Our ATEX fans can help to provide:

  • protection of people, warehouse, and materials.
  • energy savings.

Parking lots are not generally considered hazardous areas. Nevertheless, potential risks from exhaust fumes or fuels can be reduced. In addition to the use of non-combustible materials in the building and the inspection of electrical systems, a special focus should be placed on the ventilation systems. Our ATEX products can help with the latter:

  • Protection of people.
  • Protection of vehicles.
  • High efficiency leading to energy savings.

When charging batteries with aqueous electrolyte, such as lead-acid batteries, hydrogen can be produced. This is flammable and can explode under certain circumstances. Our innovative ATEX products can be used in:

  • hazard zones 1 and 2.

Industrial zone, Steel pipelines

When highly or extremely flammable liquids such as petrol enter the sewer system, they float on the surface due to their low density. Depending on the concentration, they can form an explosive mixture. Our ATEX products ...

  • support the maintenance of the wastewater system infrastructure.
  • protect people working in and around the channels.

Oil refinery plant from industry zone, Aerial view.

Flammable fuels are produced in a refinery by distilling crude oil. At high temperatures, gases are produced that can lead to an explosion under certain circumstances. Our ATEX-certified products help to prevent this.

  • Protecting infrastructure and people.
  • High efficiency.

Pipeline above the earth

Oil and gas is extracted, transported, stored and refined under extreme conditions. Thanks to their durability, our innovative ATEX fans can be used safely and reliably. Our ATEX products ...

  • withstand heat, cold and moisture.
  • function reliably in adverse conditions.

Thanks to a perfect plug & play system, the fans are ready for use in no time. This saves time and money:

  • Perfectly coordinated components
  • Pre-wired and parameterized
  • No separate variable frequency drive and motor protection switch required
  • Includes declaration of conformity for motor and electronics

GreenTech EC technology and system solutions also significantly reduce lifecycle costs:

  • Quick and easy commissioning
  • Highly efficient GreenTech EC motor that even surpasses the IE4 efficiency class
  • On average, 30 % lower energy consumption than AC technology

Certified safety

ebm-papst Ex fans are based on the tried-and-tested 3 kW GreenTech EC external rotor motor and are tested and certified in accordance with the European Product Directive ATEX 94/9/EC. Therefore, they meet all requirements for devices in areas at risk of explosion. The axial and centrifugal Ex fans are suitable for equipment group II (areas at risk of explosion outside of mining) and for the explosion group IIB gases and vapors substance group.

Our Ex fans can be used in hazard zones 1 and 2. Therefore, they correspond to category 2G (ATEX) and have the equipment protection level Gb (EN 60079-0).

The facility operator is responsible for on-site classification of the hazard zones as per ATEX 1999/92/EC. The manufacturer, i.e. ebm-papst, categorizes the device.
