To meet these requirements, BN Thermic now stocks a range of ATEX-certified finned tubular heaters, providing a robust and dependable heating solution for industrial environments where safety is paramount.

Designed for straightforward installation and long-term reliability, the TX ATEX heater range is suitable for a variety of hazardous area applications, with compatible ATEX thermostats available to provide safe and accurate temperature control.

The rugged TX ATEX heater range is designed for easy install in hazardous areas

Designed for Hazardous Area Heating

Many industrial processes involve the storage or use of flammable materials, creating environments where standard electric heaters cannot be used safely. The TX range has been developed specifically for these demanding conditions and is commonly specified for applications including:

• Spray booths and spray shops
• Paint stores
• Petrochemical installations
• Chemical processing plants
• Industrial storage facilities
• Manufacturing environments
• Areas where combustible dust or explosive gases may be present

Wherever hazardous atmospheres exist, selecting appropriately certified heating equipment is essential for both safety and regulatory compliance.

ATEX Certified for Peace of Mind

The TX range is fully ATEX certified, making it suitable for installation in a wide range of classified hazardous areas. Standard models are supplied with a T3 temperature classification, while T4 versions are also available for applications requiring a lower maximum surface temperature. The heaters are suitable for use in:

• Zone 1 – Areas where explosive gas atmospheres are likely to occur during normal operation.
• Zone 2 – Areas where explosive gas atmospheres are unlikely but may occur infrequently.
• Zone 21 – Areas where combustible dust may be present during normal operation.
• Zone 22 – Areas where combustible dust is only likely under abnormal conditions.

This flexibility allows the TX range to meet the needs of a wide variety of hazardous area installations.

Built for Industrial Environments

Hazardous locations are often harsh working environments, so the TX heater has been engineered with durability in mind. Each heater features a rugged finned tubular construction designed to provide efficient heat output while withstanding demanding industrial conditions. Additional features include:

• Heat outputs from 500W to 1.5kW

Complete Heating Control with ATEX Thermostats

A heating system is only as effective as its controls, which is why BN Thermic also offers a range of ATEX-approved wall-mounted thermostats designed to complement the TX heater range. The most commonly specified model is the TXST-01, providing reliable temperature control for many hazardous area applications. Where explosive gas hazards are present, the TXST-02 should be selected, ensuring the complete heating system remains suitable for the classified environment. Using certified controls alongside ATEX heaters provides a complete heating solution that supports both operational efficiency and compliance with hazardous area requirements.

A Safe Solution for Specialist Heating Applications

Whether maintaining frost protection, preventing condensation or providing background heating in hazardous locations, the TX range offers a dependable solution for environments where conventional electric heaters simply aren’t suitable. By combining certified safety, rugged construction and straightforward installation, BN Thermic’s ATEX tubular heaters help engineers and facilities managers specify heating systems with confidence.
