Explosion-Proof Space Heating
Keep equipment, people, and areas warm even in hazardous locations.
Sometimes freeze prevention is as simple as maintaining a warm environment. Or you have a work area that requires a comfortable environment to get the best from your team. For areas of all shapes and sizes, Catco is your partner for a safe space heating solution.
Meter Houses & Instrument Sheds
For metering, measurement, and analysis applications in a building, Catco can keep the building warm to keep equipment working properly. Catco offers both catalytic and electric explosion proof heating solutions, both certified for use in hazardous locations.
Catalytic Heaters
In most small buildings, a single catalytic heater rated between 6000 and 48,000 BTU/hr will equipment operating and the environment comfortable. Catalytic heaters are especially useful when permanent power isn’t available, or there’s not enough to reliably deliver the load needed for electric heating equipment.
CXE Electric Heaters
If industrial power is available, sometimes the solution is electric. A single CXE Electric Heater, rated from 3.0-7.5 kW is usually the choice for smaller buildings. With a variety of power options and accessories available, the CXE Heater is a reliable option to maintain suitable temperature in small buildings.
Compressor Buildings & Industrial Workspaces
Large buildings such as compressor stations can pose significant challenges for heating. Often these buildings are classified as hazardous locations due to the potential presence of explosive vapors. And heating needs for these buildings need to not only heat the equipment, but also the teams working inside. Catco catalytic and electric heaters are up to the challenge.
Catalytic Heaters
Larger buildings usually use Catco’s highest BTU heaters. Compressor buildings and large industrial work areas use multiple units ranging from 48,000 to 72,000 BTU/hr. The infrared heat makes spaces comfortable for people and protects critical equipment.
CXE Electric Heaters
If industrial power is available, sometimes the solution is electric. A single CXE Electric Heater, rated from 3.0-7.5 kW is usually the choice for smaller buildings. With a variety of power options and accessories available, the CXE Heater is a reliable option to maintain suitable temperature in small buildings.
Analyzer & Instrument Cabinets
Analysis and measurement equipment can become inaccurate or stop working if not kept at the right temperature. Catalytic heaters have long been trusted to ensure this equipment works as it was intended. Keep your cabinet warm with a small catalytic heater that’s safe for your application.
Catalytic Heaters
Analyzer and instrument cabinets usually only require a low BTU catalytic heater, typically 3000 BTU/hr or less. Catco heaters are often deployed in conjunction with a thermostat to maintain the proper temperature in the cabinet.
