Thermostats for explosion protection
Our Ex-rated thermostats are designed to prevent condensation and frost damage in control cabinets, enclosures, and systems, ensuring that all components operate within their permissible temperature limits. They have been specifically developed for reliable temperature control in potentially explosive atmospheres.
What is an explosion-proof thermostat?
An explosion-proof thermostat is a temperature controller certified in accordance with ATEX guidelines for use in areas with explosive gas or dust atmospheres. This allows the temperature of heaters, fans, or other equipment to be safely controlled without introducing additional ignition sources into the system.
Explosion-proof thermostat – Applications
An explosion-proof thermostat is used wherever flammable gases, vapors, or dusts are present, such as at gas stations, chemical and petrochemical plants, biogas plants, mills, silos, or paint shops. Here, a thermostat protects control cabinets and enclosures from harmful temperature fluctuations and helps maintain a consistently condensation-free, reliable operating environment.
Technical Specifications – Thermostats with Ex protection
Our thermostats feature a robust housing with a high protection rating (typically IP66/IP67) and ATEX certification. Depending on the model, various switching ranges, temperature classes, and contact types are available, ensuring that every Ex-thermostat can be seamlessly integrated into existing heating and control systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
When do I need thermostats for potentially explosive atmospheres (Ex)?
When control cabinets or systems are operated in ATEX/Ex zones, specially approved components are required. Ex thermostats meet these safety requirements depending on the zone and application.
What applications are controlled by thermostats in Ex zones?
Control cabinet heaters are often activated to maintain safe temperature limits. This helps ensure process stability.
Can I use standard thermostats in Ex zones?
No, only appropriately certified devices are permitted in Ex zones.
