EXHEAT AFT Flameproof Air & Process Sensing Thermostat

IP6X-rated ATEX thermostat offering effortless climate control

The EXHEAT AFT Flameproof Air & Process Sensing Thermostat is specifically engineered and certified for use in hazardous areas. It is suitable for use in Hazardous Area Zones 1 and 2, which consist of explosive gases in Groups IIA, IIB and IIC. It is exceptionally efficient and suitable for challenging and hazardous environments where conditions can be extreme. This thermostat offers three different temperature control options, allowing you to select the one that best fits your needs and preferences.

The AFT is also an industrial thermostat designed to provide an externally adjustable feature that enables convenient and precise control of variables for air applications. The thermostat can be wall-mounted for easy access and comes with a user-friendly interface that makes it simple to adjust settings as needed. Being space-saving and convenient, the thermostat is going to make onsite applications a breeze. In addition, it is possible to specify threaded bosses or flanges of any material within the specified design parameters.

The unit is designed with a robust and durable construction, ensuring long-lasting performance even in harsh conditions. This makes it an ideal choice for industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing and mining. Its enclosure is made of cast aluminium and finished in orange and grey. Featuring an IP6X rating, it offers the highest level of protection against dust. The enclosure offers a maximum of two cable entries and both external and internal earthing connections, reinforcing the importance of safe and reliable operation in hazardous environments.

The EXHEAT thermostat functions effectively within a wide temperature range of -60°C to +60°C. This highly adaptable temperature range makes it suitable for diverse environments, such as industrial settings where extreme temperatures are frequently encountered. It carries a T6 temperature rating, ensuring that the maximum surface temperature of the AFT unit does not surpass 85°C. Therefore, the thermostat is appropriate for use in environments where substances have ignition temperatures higher than the equipment's maximum surface temperature.
