Fan configuration in accordance with ATEX (optional):
If the fan is intended for use in potentially explosive
environments pursuant to Directive 2014/34/EU (ATEX),
intended use is restricted to:
- the field of application
- the equipment group and category
- the explosion group for gases and vapours
- the gas or dust type
- the temperature class
These specifications can be obtained from the ATEX
nameplate on the fan.
Utilisation of the fan is prohibited if the ambient conditions at
the installation site do not comply with these specifications.
The boundary conditions for utilisation of the fan pursuant to
Directive 2014/34/EU (ATEX) are:
- Maximum inlet temperature of -20 … +60 °C
- Absolute pressure of 0.8 … 1.1 bar
- Maximum oxygen percent by volume of 21 %
Deviations from these boundary conditions are permissible in
exceptional cases:
If the fan has been configured and constructed for inlet
temperatures > +60 °C, the maximum permissible inlet
temperature can be obtained from the following sources:
- On the nameplate on the fan
- On the fan data sheet
- In the declaration of conformity pursuant to Directive
2014/34/EU (ATEX)
If the fan has been configured and constructed for ambient
