Heaters and thermostats

XC Explosionproof Electric Heaters

XC explosionproof electric heaters from Eaton's Crouse-Hinds Division are used for standby heat to prevent process heat loss in areas where flammable liquids, gases or vapors are present.

For rugged locations including: petroleum refineries, gasoline storage, areas that use flammable liquids for cleaning parts in dip tanks, petrochemical plants, paint spraying areas, hydrogen fuel cell and battery storage, and more.

Design features

  • Sloped-top cabinet prevents objects that restrict airflow from being set on top
  • Corrosion-resistant design with no exposed copper or brass – suitable for H2S environments
  • High velocity airflow heats up area faster with better heat distribution
  • 14 gauge steel cabinet for rugged reliability
  • Short cabinet lengths take up less wall and floor space
  • Optional built-in thermostat (Class I, Division 1, Groups C, D, and Zone 1, Group IIB models) reduces field installation costs
  • Incoloy 840 heating elements have longer life expectancy
  • Radial embossed aluminum plate fins warp less for better heat transfer
  • Galvanized steel mounting brackets for quick installation

Standard materials

  • Heating elements – resistance wire embedded in a magnesium oxide refractory and sheathed in an Incoloy 840 tube
  • Finned tube assembly – aluminum tube with radial embossed aluminum plate fins
  • Cabinet – 14 gauge (0.075"/1.90mm) steel, green/gray epoxy powder coated front and side panels; galvanized steel back panel
