Fans for ATEX EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES

An ATEX area is a mixture of air and inflammable gas, the vapour of an inflammable liquid, a fog of combustible liquid
or combustible powder, which, if they catch fire, do so at once in their entirety.

Sensitivity to the ignition of gases:

LIE Minimum concentration of explosivity » % volume.
LSE Maximum concentration of explosivity » % volume.
EMI Minimum ignition energy » 10-6 μ Joules
Flash Point Minimum temperature of a liquid forms inflammable gases
Temperature – Temperature at which a gas ignites
temperature – T1, T2, T3, T4, T5 and T6

Sensitivity to the ignition of solids:

LIE or CME Minimum concentration explosive » g/m3
CLO Maximum concentration of Oxygen » % volume
EMI Minimum ignition energy » 10-3 μ Joules
TMI Minimum ignition temperature in ºC:
- In a TMI n cloud (a cloud of dust in contact with a hot surface).
- In a TMI c layer, ignition of a 5 mm layer.
- (limit of T the lesser of: 2/3 of TMI n or TMI c -75ºC)

• Zone 0 / Zone 20: mines with danger of firedamp or explosive powders.
Present continuously, during long periods of time • M1 Category: must remain operative
or frequently. It is not possible to use electric motors. • M2 Category: it must be possible to cut off the energy supply
• Zone 1 / Zone 21:
It is probable in normal operating conditions GROUP II: Other danger zones
• Zone 2 / Zone 22: • Category 1: a very high level of protection. Highly probable area.
The creation of an ATEX zone is not probable under normal • Category 2: a high level of protection. Probable area.
operating conditions • Category 3: a normal level of protection. Improbable area.
