Quality and consistency levels differ between Ex fan manufacturers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Safety is paramount in this important area of fan engineering. Failure is not an option \u2013 the human, economic and reputational costs of getting it wrong are unthinkable. So you need to choose your specialist Ex fan supplier carefully.

This minimises the risk of sparks that could potentially ignite flammable atmospheres.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conductive coatings are designed to create surfaces that do not generate sparks. This is particularly important in environments where even a small spark could lead to a catastrophic explosion. By ensuring that the fan\u2019s surfaces are non-sparking, the risk of ignition is significantly reduced.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conductive and anti-static coatings ensure that ATEX fans can operate safely in hazardous environments without introducing additional risks. This is crucial in industries such as chemical processing, oil\/gas and mining, where the potential for explosive atmospheres is high.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;SPECIALISED MOTORS&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; open=&#8221;off&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Motors used in ATEX fans are designed to minimise the risk of ignition. Non-sparking, flameproof, dust-tight motors are used in the fan design, based on the environment in which the unit is destined to operate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flameproof motors ensure that flames are not emitted from the motor during an internal ignition.

The correct fan assembly T ratings for both gas and dust are applied based on the ignition temperature of the gas or dust present in the environment (as advised by the customer at the quotation stage).<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Motor thermistors are often present. These ensure the temperature of the motor does not exceed the stated T rating.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inlet filters can be used to limit the ingress of dust into the fan. This dust could otherwise build up on the impeller, causing an imbalance \u2013 leading in turn to excessive vibration and subsequent premature component failure.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;\/us\/contact-us&#8221;

Correct impeller mounting is achieved according to the power output of the motor.\u00a0 Appropriate liner material pairings are chosen to suit the environment to ensure that sparking or hot spots cannot be generated\u00a0 in the unlikely event of impeller contact.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Suitable construction materials are selected to ensure a chemical ignition source \u2013 such as a Thermite reaction \u2013 is not present. We also ensure that a galvanic couple is not present. This helps to prevent premature component failure.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Stress calculations are performed on impellers to ensure they can withstand the operating speeds for which they are intended. Temperature rises through the equipment are analysed to ensure the temperature class of the equipment is not affected. Customer fan process temperatures are evaluated to ensure the correct temperature class is applied to the equipment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ductile materials are selected where heat dissipation is required. Heat spinners are used to deflect elevated process temperatures away from the motor.<\/p>\n<p>Vibration monitoring (as required by the standards) is offered for Cat 2D equipment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Paint data sheets are checked to ensure that chemical ignition sources cannot be introduced.\u00a0 Where paints are used over a certain thickness, warnings are added to the fan to instruct the end user of the potential for static build-up \u2013 and how to stop this from happening. Where plastics are used, similar warnings are added for the same reasons.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Anti-static filter media are employed to prevent static build-up on the inlet of the fan.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">PTFE seals are added to the inlet plates and\/or inspection hatches. It is important to allow access for cleaning to prevent dangerous dust build-ups.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Anti-static hose is used for any flexible connections. Grounding points are added to any isolated metalwork, including motor pedestals with anti-vibration mounts and also flexible connection flanges.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Full earth bond continuity checks are performed across the extremities of every blower before it leaves ACI.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Consideration is given to the impact on the environment when selecting suitable materials. More environmentally friendly options are used whenever possible.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A comprehensive user manual is available.

We apply for certification once a product has been fully designed in accordance with the appropriate standards.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Schematic drawings detail the fan types covered. They include any adaptations, accessories, clearances and many other details relating to how the requirements of the applicable standards have been covered.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ignition Hazard Assessments (IHAs) are performed on any new equipment that is added to our certificate. The notified body issues the certificate once all pertinent points have been satisfied.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Generally, once the certificate has been acquired there is no further need to apply again.\u00a0 If anything needs to change in relation to what is held on the drawings or the detail on the certificate, a variation request is submitted to the notified body and a case is opened to ensure this is done officially and correctly.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text &#8211; Right&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.1&#8243; text_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;2em&#8221; text_text_align=&#8221;justify&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; header_2_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;42px&#8221; header_3_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;42px&#8221; header_4_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;42px&#8221; header_5_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;42px&#8221; header_6_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;42px&#8221; header_2_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;34px&#8221; header_3_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;34px&#8221; header_4_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;34px&#8221; header_5_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;34px&#8221; header_6_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;34px&#8221; header_2_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; header_3_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; header_4_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; header_5_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; header_6_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; header_2_3_font_size_tablet=&#8221;34px&#8221; header_3_3_font_size_tablet=&#8221;34px&#8221; header_4_3_font_size_tablet=&#8221;34px&#8221; header_5_3_font_size_tablet=&#8221;34px&#8221; header_6_3_font_size_tablet=&#8221;34px&#8221; header_2_3_font_size_phone=&#8221;28px&#8221; header_3_3_font_size_phone=&#8221;28px&#8221; header_4_3_font_size_phone=&#8221;28px&#8221; header_5_3_font_size_phone=&#8221;28px&#8221; header_6_3_font_size_phone=&#8221;28px&#8221; header_2_3_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; header_3_3_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; header_4_3_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; header_5_3_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; header_6_3_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; header_2_4_font_size_tablet=&#8221;22px&#8221; header_3_4_font_size_tablet=&#8221;22px&#8221; header_4_4_font_size_tablet=&#8221;22px&#8221; header_5_4_font_size_tablet=&#8221;22px&#8221; header_6_4_font_size_tablet=&#8221;22px&#8221; header_2_4_font_size_phone=&#8221;18px&#8221; header_3_4_font_size_phone=&#8221;18px&#8221; header_4_4_font_size_phone=&#8221;18px&#8221; header_5_4_font_size_phone=&#8221;18px&#8221; header_6_4_font_size_phone=&#8221;18px&#8221; header_2_4_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; header_3_4_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; header_4_4_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; header_5_4_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; header_6_4_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; header_2_5_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; header_3_5_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; header_4_5_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; header_5_5_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; header_6_5_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; header_2_5_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; header_3_5_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; header_4_5_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; header_5_5_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; header_6_5_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">ACI currently maintains three certificates: ATEX, IECEx and UKEX.

The CSA Group visits to audit our processes between renewal dates.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">There is full traceability of all materials used in the construction of the equipment. Material certificates \u2013 such as those for the metals used in the fabrication of a fan case \u2013 are held at ACI.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Full motor documentation is forwarded on to the end customer for reference, along with user manuals of any other suppliers\u2019 integrated equipment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">We designate separate part numbers to our stock for use in Ex builds to ensure that non-Ex parts are kept separate. This stops parts that do not have full material certification from entering an Ex build.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We have also invested heavily in a segregated Ex build area, along with an adjoining segregated store specifically for parts for use in Ex builds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243;
