Description
CHL ATEX Laboratory Refrigerators are engineered for maximum safety when storing volatile or flammable materials that may form an explosive atmosphere. Developed and manufactured in compliance with ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU, these refrigerators are certified for Zone 2 explosive gas atmospheres, ensuring safe use in chemical, pharmaceutical, and research environments.
Each unit features an explosion-proof chamber, marked II 3/- G Ex h IIC T6 Gc/-, confirming conformity with EN ISO 80079-36 standards. The non-sparking internal components and robust construction minimize ignition risk under normal operating conditions, offering peace of mind in explosion-hazardous areas defined by ATEX Directive 1999/92/EC.
The CHL ATEX series provides uniform cooling from 0 °C to +15 °C with forced air circulation and a SMART microprocessor controller for stable, precise temperature regulation. Models CHL 1 ATEX to CHL 6 ATEX vary in capacity but share identical safety and control systems, allowing laboratories to select the size best suited to their sample load and space.
Designed for reliability, compliance, and user safety, these units are indispensable wherever flammable solvents, reagents, or chemicals are present—providing certified protection without compromising temperature performance.
