APS’s Explosion proof ACBs and compressors work great for protecting more than just people. When you have Control Rooms or Enclosures where explosive and flammable dusts and gases are present in hazardous quantities, it is that these spaces are ventilated, maintain a required temperature and remain free as possible of dust and other particles in the air that could cause explosions or fires and allow equipment to overheat and seriously hinder their performance.  APS designs its “explosion proof” compressors specifically for these types of environments so that manufacturers can build relatively compact, quiet and long-lived chillers, air conditioners and refrigerators for use in these tough conditions., while ACBs will help ventilate, cool, purge, keep clean or pressurize these rooms without any filter media to maintain.

Easy Installation, Maintenance and Repairs:

Andover Protection Systems makes all of their compressors with a threaded plug on the 3 1 /2” (8.9 cm) ID enclosure. This makes wiring, and even rewiring, easy because a technician can fit their hand inside to work on the wiring.

No other compressors are tested and expressly recognized by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) as safe for use in either Division/Zone 1 or Division/Zone 2 locations in any class or group.

APS does not change the operation or performance of the compressors, just makes them safer.

When you assemble a complete product, APS’s proven designs and UL’s recognitions assure that the compressor is safe for the indicated environments and therefore that part of the unit will not have to be tested independently to verify its safety, thereby reducing the costs of UL listing of your products.

Protect electrical connections in corrosive, wet, and other harsh environments
APS protects all its compressors with resistant coatings to assure long life in corrosive environments.

Durability

APS offers scroll and reciprocating compressors with POE, mineral and other types of oils in capacities from 1/20 Horsepower to 30 HP and for low, medium and high-temperature applications.

Reminder about “Explosion-Proofing”

Even when APS adapts its units for flammable and explosive environments, they retain all their other harsh-duty advantages and durability. Therefore, they afford a far better return on investment than do residential or commercial units modified for hazardous locations. In addition, APS makes a special priority the development and production of robust Division/Zone 1 and Division/Zone 2 compressors.
