Class 1 Div 1 group D heater?

Class 1 Div 1 group D heater?

Class 1 Div 1 group D heater?

(OP)

   I am needing help finding a heater to heat an evaporative room that evaporates alcohol from powder material. The room is to be held @ 125 F and I need an explosion-proof heater for this. Does anyone know where I should look, I have tried all day to no avail. I am now looking for a water-air heat exchanger thinking that I might be able to use a hot water heat system; but this hasn't helped much!

RE: Class 1 Div 1 group D heater?

I used ("explosion proof" "unit heater") in a google search and had 263 hits. Are the heating element temperatures for a conventional explosion proof unit heater too high for alcohol vapors at 125 degF?

RE: Class 1 Div 1 group D heater?

Try any of the following Chromalox (USA), Watlow (USA), Heatex (UK) - they all do hazardous area electric heaters

www.chromalox.com
www.watlow.com
www.heatex.co.uk

you will have to trawl through the websites but I suggest just give the local sales agent a call may be the easiest option

hope these help
