EXHEAT Industrial’s range of FX fixed duty and self-regulating enclosure/cabinet heaters offer a compact and effective heating solution for small and medium sized enclosures/cabinets through convection and radiation, and are certified for use in hazardous areas where the atmosphere is classified as Zone 1 or 2 (Gas groups IIA, IIB, IIC) and Zone 21 or 22 (Dust groups IIIA, IIIB, IIIC). The FX enclosure/cabinet heaters can also be easily integrated with the FXT range of thermostats for enhanced temperature management.

The FX enclosure/cabinet heaters are offered in the following variants:

Fixed Duty Enclosure/Cabinet Heaters

The fixed duty range of FX enclosure/cabinet heaters utilise a hard anodised, extruded aluminium profile, making them suitable for offshore applications, and include a fixed duty, cartridge type heating element in order to provide a powerful heating solution for small and medium sized enclosures/cabinets.

Fixed duty heating elements produce a constant power output regardless of the ambient temperature, giving a specific temperature rise above the ambient. EXHEAT Industrial’s FX fixed duty enclosure/cabinet heaters have been certified to operate in an ambient temperature range of -60°C to +40°C for T4 and T3 heaters, and -60°C to +80°C for some T3 heaters.

The FXB-FD heaters are designed with a double-sided finned profile which may only be installed vertically to provide the greatest power output within the range. These heaters are supplied with a single mounting solution that can be used to affix the heater either directly to an enclosure/cabinet or to a rail within one. The FXH-FD heaters have one flat side which can allow flexibility, they can be mounted horizontally or vertically to suit possible space constraints.

Due to the nature of fixed duty heating solutions, these heaters must not be allowed to exceed their ambient temperature limits; however EXHEAT Industrial can supply all heaters within the range with an integral inline thermostat which safely de-energises the heater when a certain ambient temperature is reached.

Self-Regulating Enclosure/Cabinet Heaters

The self-regulating range of FX enclosure/cabinet heaters utilise a hard anodised, extruded aluminium profile, making them suitable for offshore applications, and include a self-regulating, cartridge type heating element in order to provide a controlled heating solution for small and medium sized enclosures/cabinets.

Self-regulating heating elements produce a variable power output based on the ambient temperature, which removes the necessity of an additional thermostat. EXHEAT Industrial’s FX self-regulating enclosure/cabinet heaters have been certified to operate in an ambient temperature range of -60°C to +180°C for T3 applications and -60°C to +130°C for T4 applications.

The FXB-SR heaters are designed with a double-sided finned profile, but unlike the fixed duty heaters, may be installed in any orientation (although vertically will provide the greatest power output). These heaters are supplied with a single mounting solution that can be used to affix the heater either directly to an enclosure/cabinet or to a rail within one. The FXH-SR heaters have one flat side which can allow flexibility, they can be mounted in any orientation and directly to components that require heating.

Due to the nature of self-regulating heating solutions, these heaters cannot exceed their ambient temperature limits under their own power; if there are other sources of heat within the enclosure/cabinet, it may be necessary to include an integral inline thermostat to safely de-energise the heater when the ambient temperature limit is reached.
