Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
ATEX certification confirms that the flameproof heater has been designed, tested, and certified by an accredited notified body to meet the requirements of the ATEX directive for use in explosive atmospheres within the European Union and beyond.
Zone 1 heaters are certified for areas where explosive atmospheres are likely to occur during normal operation, while Zone 2 heaters are certified for areas where explosive atmospheres are not likely to occur during normal operation but may do so occasionally.
Kerone's Flameproof Heaters are available in gas groups IIA (propane equivalent), IIB (ethylene equivalent), and IIC (hydrogen/acetylene equivalent), providing coverage for virtually all commonly encountered flammable gases and vapours.
The temperature class (T1-T6) is selected based on the minimum ignition temperature (MIT) of the flammable material present in the hazardous area. The maximum surface temperature of the heater (at the selected T class) must be below 80% of the material's MIT.
No, standard non-certified heaters cannot be modified or adapted for use in certified hazardous areas. Flameproof heaters must be specifically designed and type-certified to explosion protection standards before use in hazardous areas.
Flameproof heaters must be maintained by competent personnel in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and applicable standards. Flameproof enclosure joints must not be damaged or modified, and only approved replacement parts may be used.
Flameproof construction contains any internal spark or flame within the enclosure so it cannot ignite the surrounding atmosphere. Increased safety protection instead focuses on preventing sparks and excessive heat from occurring in the first place. Kerone's heaters use flameproof enclosures.
The terminal box has its own flameproof rating and construction standard, since it is the point where external wiring connects, and Kerone certifies it as part of the complete heater assembly.
Yes, anti condensation heaters can be built in where the installation experiences temperature swings that might otherwise cause moisture to form inside enclosures or panels.
Options include Inconel, Incoloy, stainless steel 316 and 321, Monel, and titanium, selected based on the process fluid or atmosphere the heater will be exposed to.
Kerone's flameproof heaters use individually replaceable elements, and removable type versions allow element replacement without draining the vessel, reducing disruption during maintenance.
Kerone's flameproof heaters are certified by CPRI, confirming they meet the requirements for safe use in Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous areas.
Yes, Kerone's flameproof heaters are certified and suitable for use in high ambient temperature conditions, which is common in outdoor or tropical industrial installations.
Individual enclosures are built up to 1000 kW, and for larger heat loads, multiple certified enclosures can be combined to reach the total capacity your installation needs.
Regular visual and functional inspection of the enclosure joints, terminal box integrity, and element condition is recommended, carried out by personnel trained in hazardous area equipment maintenance.
Kerone’s custom-designed heating and processing solutions are built to meet the demands of your growing operations. Whether you’re upgrading equipment, expanding production, or need a tailor-made solution
