Explosion protection as per ATEX 95
The water extraction units of the FluidAqua Mobile FAM-ATEX series satisfy all the
requirements of the new EU directive 94/9/EC, ATEX 95 applicable to areas in
which potentially explosive gas mixtures are likely to occur.
The designation of the explosion-proof ATEX-compliant FAM is:
II 2G IIB+H
2
T4 (+10°C<Ta<40°C)
II 2G IIB+H
2
160°C (+10°C<Ta<40°C)
This means that the FAM may be used only in accordance with:
Equipment group
II
Potentially explosive atmospheres in which
vapors or gas/air mixtures are likely to occur.
Equipment category
2G
Equipment providing for a standard degree of
safety.
Designated for cases in which atmospheres
posing an explosion hazard can be expected to
occur very rarely and, if so, only briefly.
Explosion hazard
subgroup
IIB+H
2
Typical gases:
Town gas, acrylonitrile, ethylene, ethylene
oxide, ethylene glycol, hydrogen sulfide,
ammonia, methane, ethane, propane, ethyl
alcohol, cyclohexane, n-butane, n-hexane and
hydrogen
Ensure that vapors, gases or mists occurring at
the place of operation belong to explosion
groups IIA to IIB.
Temperature class
T4
Maximum permissible surface temperature:
135°C
