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?
Electrical specifications vary by model and region. Please consult the product datasheet or contact our specialists for details relevant to your application.
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.
