We discovered that the fan we will be using to vent an enclosure was not rated for hazardous locations (explosion proof). This wasn't necessarily bad, because we just needed anything for testing purposes, but to be certified we will need an explosion-proof fan (it is, after all, venting out air that could possibly contain H2 gas if there's a leak).
The main question here:
What manufactures would have a nice range of explosion-proof fans?
The current fan is from ebmpapst (model number W2E200-HK38-01 but they don't deal with explosion-proof fans if I understand correctly.
It was supplied by Hoffman in a Filter Fan Package ( : Product number SF1326002), but I can't find anything close to what I need from them.
The fan is 230VAC, 50/60Hz, and will need at least 250 CFM with a pressure drop about 0.3 inches of H2O.
Thank you so much for your help.
Any ideas on suppliers or manufactures is greatly appreciated.
I already send out an inquiry to Comair Rotron regarding this, as they have already been recommeneded to me.
