Flameproof Wall Mounted Fan
A Flameproof Wall Mounted Fan is an industrial ventilation fan designed for use in hazardous areas where flammable gases, vapours or combustible dust may be present. The fan is mounted directly on a wall or suitable opening to provide air circulation, ventilation and exhaust while using appropriately certified explosion-protected electrical components.
Depending on the specific model, flameproof wall fans can be designed for hazardous-area classifications such as Zone 1 and Zone 2, with particular gas groups, temperature classes and IP protection ratings. These specifications must always be matched to the actual installation requirements.
