Does electric heating in Zone 2 with explosion protection need to be explosion-proof as well? If I want to do it, how should I proceed?
Explosion protection must be installed! Take a look at **standard execution!
Since it’s specified as Zone 2 explosion-proof, explosion-proof equipment is necessary. There are many manufacturers of explosion-proof electric heating systems in China, and they also offer complete systems; just ask them how to do it.
It is necessary to determine the explosion-proof rating, model, and requirements based on the specifications and production conditions; generally, EXD2BT4 or higher is sufficient
Since it has been designated as an explosion-proof area, products that meet explosion-proof standards must be used. It’s just heat tracing, right? If no suitable electric heat tracing is available, then steam or hot water can be used for heating, and this will definitely meet the explosion-proof requirements.
