Explosion Proof Series Chillers
For operations in hazardous environments, we offer Class I, Division 2 (all groups) explosion-proof chillers, designed to meet stringent safety standards. Available in both air-cooled and water-cooled configurations, these units provide dependable cooling without compromising on safety or performance.
Q: What hazardous-location rating do these chillers carry?
Our explosion-proof chillers are built to Class I, Division 2 (all groups) for atmospheres where flammable gases or vapors may occasionally be present. Motors, controls, and wiring are selected and installed to meet that classification.
Q: Are air-cooled and water-cooled explosion-proof units both available?
Yes. Both configurations are offered, so the unit can be matched to your site’s heat-rejection method and ambient conditions. The hazardous-location rating applies to the package regardless of cooling method.
Q: Which industries typically require explosion-proof chillers?
They are commonly specified in oil and gas, chemical processing, solvent and hydrocarbon extraction, and pharmaceutical operations that handle flammable materials. If your area is classified by your facility’s electrical code, the chiller must match that classification.
Q: Can you build to a different area classification than Class I, Division 2?
As a custom manufacturer, we can engineer packages for other classifications and group requirements on request. Provide your facility’s exact area classification and any third-party certification requirements so the build is scoped correctly.
Q: How do I confirm the chiller meets my site’s electrical code?
Send the hazardous-area classification from your facility’s electrical drawings or process safety documentation, and our engineering team will confirm the components and documentation needed. This avoids costly rework or failed inspections at startup.
