Product Type: ATEX

LPT Series – EC Fans for Harsh and Potentially Explosive Environments

Mechatronics IP68 EC Fans for Harsh and Potentially Explosive Environments

Mechatronics ATEX Fan Solutions

Mechatronics offers a variety of fans for use in potentially hazardous applications and environments. ATEX Fans are intended for use in equipment or protective systems where potentially explosive atmospheres can occur (as defined by EU directive 2014/34/EU). Mechatronics ATEX Fans are EC Fans (electronically commutated AC fans) made with encapsulated motors rated to IP68. ATEX Rating levels for Mechatronics fans are listed in the table below. Only fans with the ATEX symbol and rating on the label are intended for ATEX applications.

Features

  • Reduced Power Consumption – as much as 70% lower than that of standard AC fan models
  • Global Voltage option allows the fan to operate from 100VAC ~ 240VAC
  • Improved Performance offers higher airflow than standard AC fan models
  • Speed Control options include pulse width modulation (PWM speed control) input
  • Alarm Output options including tachometer or locked rotor alarm
  • Environmental Protection options available including conformal coating or encapsulated motor (up to IP68)

Applications

  • Commercial Refrigeration
  • Air Conditioning
  • Battery Compartments
  • Food Processing Equipment
  • Freezers & Icemakers
  • Heat-Pump Dryers
  • Water Heaters
  • Industrial Refrigeration
  • Chemical Storage
  • Oil and gas equipment
  • R290 propane and other flammable refrigerants
  • Battery charging & Power storage systems
  • HVAC
  • Lighting
  • Diagnostic equipment

Mechatronics ATEX-rated fans have the suffix “EX” in the full part number and ATEX is indicated on the label.

ATEX-Certified Fans

Mechatronics offers a range of fan sizes and designs for use in potentially hazardous applications and environments. ATEX Fans are intended for use in equipment or protective systems where potentially explosive atmospheres can occur (as defined by EU directive 2014/34/EU). Mechatronics ATEX Fans are EC Fans (electronically commutated AC fans) made with encapsulated motors rated to IP68. ATEX Rating levels for Mechatronics fans are listed in the table below. Only fans with the ATEX symbol and rating on the label are intended for ATEX applications.

What is ATEX and where are ATEX-rated fans used?

Special electric components are required for environments where explosive gases, vapor-air mixture, or combustible dust are possible in concentrations high enough to cause explosions. ATEX directives were adopted to align the technical requirements for products intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. Mechatronics ATEX-rated products comply with the directives. All Mechatronics ATEX-rated fans are marked with ATEX symbols and markings that indicate protection level and conformity with the directive. The ATEX directives not only define product requirements but also classify environment zones and equipment categories.
