Description
Explosion Proof Split Unit Air Conditioner – ATEX Zone 2
The Atexxo AIR-EX-FTXM-20-R410A is an explosion-proof split air conditioner designed for hazardous-area cooling and heating in Zone 2 (equivalent to Class I Division 2). Engineered for 24/7 use, this unit is ideal for chemical plants, offshore platforms, battery rooms, and hazardous goods storage areas requiring safe and reliable climate control.
Equipped with R410A refrigerant and built-in heat pump functionality, this unit delivers year-round operation with both cooling and heating modes. The explosion-proof modifications preserve the original features of the indoor and outdoor units, allowing easy installation, maintenance, and wireless control via included ATEX-rated remote. All components are designed to meet stringent safety standards for gas groups IIA, IIB, and IIC.
What Has Changed with This Model?
This unit continues to utilize the proven and reliable R410A refrigerant, which has a zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP). While the industry is gradually shifting towards refrigerants with a lower Global Warming Potential (GWP) like R32, the Atexxo AIR-EX-FTXM series with R410A remains a fully certified, compliant, and widely deployed solution for hazardous areas. It provides a stable and familiar platform for facilities with established maintenance procedures for R410A systems. For new projects or sustainability mandates requiring the latest refrigerant technology, please contact our specialists to discuss our R32-based ATEX-certified alternatives.

- 🔹 AIR-EX-FTXM-20-R410A (7,000 BTU / 2.0 kW Cooling – 2.5 kW Heating)
Updated Comparison of Current Options
While this page details the 7,000 BTU model, Atexxo offers a range of capacities up to 24,000 BTU to suit different operational needs. Selecting the correct capacity is critical for both safety and efficiency in a hazardous environment. An undersized unit will fail to maintain the required temperature, while an oversized unit can lead to inefficient cycling and increased energy costs. Our technical experts can help you perform a heat load calculation based on your room volume, ambient temperatures, and internal heat sources to identify the perfect fit.

FAQs:
Can this unit be used in C1D2 applications in North America?
Yes, ATEX Zone 2 is the European equivalent of NEC Class I Division 2.
Is R410A refrigerant suitable for hazardous locations?
Yes, it is used in certified systems and has zero ozone depletion potential.
What is the operating voltage and frequency?
200–240V AC, 50/60 Hz. Wider input ranges available upon request.
Can I request a higher BTU unit or multi-split system?
Yes, Atexxo offers a full range of capacities and configurations – contact us for details.
What is the difference between the R410A refrigerant in this unit and newer R32 options?
This model uses R410A, a highly reliable and widely used refrigerant with zero ozone depletion potential (ODP). While newer regulations favor refrigerants with lower Global Warming Potential (GWP) like R32, our R410A units remain fully compliant, certified, and available. R32 systems may offer slightly higher efficiency but require different handling protocols. We offer both types to meet varying site requirements. Please contact our specialists to determine the best fit for your project.
How do I select the right BTU capacity for my facility?
Choosing the correct capacity (measured in BTUs) depends on several factors, including the room size, insulation, ambient temperature, and heat-generating equipment. Our hazardous area specialists can perform a heat load calculation to recommend the precise model (from 7,000 to 24,000 BTU) to ensure efficient and safe climate control. We recommend requesting a quote to start this process.
