    Description

    The FP-C range of flameproof removable single and multi-core heaters offer hazardous area heating solutions for oil and similar applications where low heat density is required. Designed for convenience, the elements can be withdrawn for inspection without system drain down. A standard heater consists of a single element (or multiple cores) fitted into a mounting flange. A robust Ex d terminal enclosure protects the electrical connections. The watts density of the element core fitted depends upon the media to be heated and the kilowatt rating required.

    The FP removable core-type immersion heater range is certified for use in hazardous areas where the atmosphere is classified as a Zone 1 or 2 (IIA, IIB, IIC) gas group, or a Zone 21 or 22 (IIIA, IIIB, IIIC) dust group.

    • Mild steel or 316 stainless steel terminal enclosure with weatherproof protection to IP66 or Enclosure Type / NEMA 4 or 4X
    • Choice of built in process temperature sensors
    • Suitable for ambient temperatures from -60°C to +60°C (subject to cert parameters)
    • Mounting of the heater can be by a threaded NPT or BSP boss or an industry standard flange
    • Designed for horizontal installation (vertical mounting version available on request)
    • Can be supplied with the terminal box mounted away from the fixing boss / flang
