In a commercial refrigeration application ATEX compact axial fans are essential. Hydrocarbon (HC) refrigerants are still very popular in the marketplace as they are readily available, cost effective and more environmentally friendly than the previously used HFC refrigerants. HC refrigerants have a high explosion and flammability risk meaning that if the refrigerant were to leak and the fan were to spark this could potentially end in harmful consequences. By using an ATEX fan no spark can be produced therefore reducing the potential for explosions.  

The HEC Compact axial fan for HXHT, Huaxia Hengtai, is not only ATEX but EC and IP68. An ingress protection (IP) rating of IP68 means that the compact axial fan is 100% dust tight and 100% protected against submersion in water. IP68 is the highest possible rating. EC (electronically commutated) fans have risen in popularity to the become the preferred component due to the fact they are more energy efficient and more controllable. EC uses the best of both worlds by combining AC and DC voltages. It is said that using an EC fan can save up to 80% on its AC counterpart.
