ATEX Heated Blanket Gas Bottle | Frost Prevents, T6 Thermal Safety

ATEX Gas Cylinder Heaters: Pressure Control and Safety in Explosive Areas

Maintaining a constant and safe flow of gas is a critical requirement, especially when cylinders are located in potentially explosive environments. The ATEX Gas Bottle Heater is the reference equipment designed to solve the problem of pressure drop caused by low temperatures or high consumption. ATEX certified for zones 1, 2, 21 and 22, this heater guarantees the maximum safety of your installation while stabilizing the internal temperature of the gas. By applying uniform and controlled heat, it prevents frost from forming on the bottle, maximizes the vaporization of liquefied gases, and ensures a constant flow of gas essential for precise industrial, analytical, or dosing processes.

ATEX and Tamper-Proof Security T6 to T3 certification

Compliance and security are at the heart of this product's design. The ATEX Bottle Heater is certified for use in the most sensitive gas and dust areas. It is available to meet temperature classes T6, T5, T4 and T3, allowing a precise choice depending on the gas and the environment operated. This safety certification is crucial for the protection of operators and facilities. In addition, its robust design makes it a durable tool, suitable for operating in demanding industrial conditions, with a good protection rating against external elements.

Precise Temperature Control and Built-in Limiter

This heater is equipped with advanced control systems to ensure optimal and safe thermal performance. The model is usually equipped with a fixed temperature limiter (e.g., 40 degrees Celsius) to prevent dangerous overheating. For applications requiring fine adjustment, versions with an adjustable digital thermostat (e.g., from 0 to 90 degrees Celsius) are available. This flexibility of control allows the user to set the ideal temperature for the gas used, ensuring the best vaporization efficiency while respecting safety limits. The option of a safety fuse with manual reset provides an extra layer of protection in the event of a malfunction.

Adaptability and Modular Design for Critical Gases

The ATEX Cylinder Heater is designed to fit a wide range of standard gas cylinders (e.g. 10L, 20L, 33L, 50L) thanks to adjustable fastening systems (such as quick-release buckles). It is ideal for a variety of gases, including CO2, nitrogen, propane, and gases used in welding equipment. The rated power is specifically calibrated (e.g., around 435W to 500W for 230V) to provide the energy needed to stabilize the pressure without overheating. For installation, the 3-meter connection cable is often delivered without a terminal plug, giving the customer the flexibility to install the connector required by their site.

Applications and Business Value

The investment in an ATEX Bottle Heater quickly pays for itself by the value it brings to industrial processes.

• Maximizing Utilization: It allows the liquefied gas to be used down to the last quantity, avoiding waste caused by frost and unusable pressure.

• Continuity of production: By guaranteeing a constant flow of gas, it eliminates production stoppages or quality defects related to pressure variations.

• Increased Safety: Its ATEX approval allows the cylinders to be placed close to hazardous work areas, optimizing layout and working time.

This product is a must-have for any company that values the precision, efficiency and safety of its operations.

Mandatory Temperature Controller: Safety and Performance Maximize

It is imperative to emphasize that, in order to operate safely and in accordance with regulations, this ATEX Bottle Heater requires the use of an external temperature controller. The temperature controller is NOT supplied with the heater and its purchase is mandatory. In an ATEX environment, precise control of temperature limits is vital to prevent any risk of explosion or damage to the cylinder. To ensure optimal compatibility and performance with this bottle warmer, we highly recommend the temperature controller/limiter part number 23-4258. This device not only ensures the accuracy of the heating, but also compliance with the necessary safety thresholds for the specified ATEX temperature classes.
