25 August 2011

Axair Fans UK Limited distributes ATEX Category 2 Zone 1 plate mounted & cased axial fans for the ventilation of buildings and rooms in which explosive gasses diluted in air may be present. All products are manufactured by Sodeca and are accredited by Notified Body LOM as satisfying the standards contained in ATEX Directive 94/9/EC.

Sodeca HCDF/ATEX and HDF/ATEX plate mounted fans are available in 11 basic impeller diameters, in two operating speeds according to model, and for both single and three phase electrical supplies. The maximum possible air flow rate is 48200m³/h. The motor has to be EEx-d (explosion-proof) type meaning that a flame caused by an explosion within the motor cannot escape to the surrounding atmosphere.

Sodeca HCT/ATEX is a cased axial range, the fans being contained within in a tube having flanges at each end. 10 basic sizes of impeller are available to provide air flow rates up to 72000m³/h. Non-sparking construction is achieved using cast aluminium impellers and an aluminium strip positioned within the steel casing.

Sodeca HCT/ATEX range electric motors may be selected as EEx-e (increased safety), which is a reduced cost option of non-incendive construction, or EEx-d (explosion proof).
