It can be used, but it is not recommended, as belt drive has low reliability; it is typically used in fans with moderate to low power levels (75 kW). If a belt drive must be used, the belt should be anti-static and oil-resistant (engine oil can cause the pulley to age)

Please refer to GB50160-2008, clause 5.7.7: Belt drives shall not be used for combustible gas compressors, liquefied hydrocarbons, or combustible liquid pumps； If belt drives must be used for other rotating equipment within the explosion-hazardous area, anti-static belts should be employed.
