Tough Environment #1 Corrosive and Damp Environments
Problem
Water and humidity cause metal to rust, chemicals to degrade and erodes materials. Corrosion increases when combined with salts and other chemicals. This can jeopardize both functionality and safety.
Solution
Products manufactured from materials which can withstand these harsh conditions. Sensitive parts of the product are protected with a high protection class, for example under a terminal box cover.
Choose
Elektra C – Electrically heated: outer casing manufactured from acid-resistant sheet steel. IP65.
SWX CS – Water heated: casing and water coil manufactured from acid-resistant stainless steel, IP65
SWX CE – Water heated: casing manufactured from acid-resistant stainless steel with epoxy coated water coil, IP65

Tough Environment #2 Ships and Offshore
Problem
Vibration on board ships and offshore platforms often cause devices and equipment to malfunction.
Solution
Extremely robust products designed to withstand vibration. This can be solved with enhanced or flexible mounting. The choice of material is often important as well as requiring a higher protection class.
Choose
Elektra V - Electrically heated, casing in stainless steel, approved by Det Norske Veritas, IP44
Tough Environment #3 High Temperatures
Problem
High temperatures can damage the product.
Solution
All components must be able to withstand high temperatures, such as motor windings, terminal blocks and switches. These products are often required in environments where there is a need for a higher protection class.

Tough Environment #4 Dusty and/or Combustible Environments
Problem
Penetrating dust can cause malfunction or compromise safety.
Solution
Products with a very high protection class (minimum IP5X) are required in order to prevent dust penetration. Important parts which are not encapsulated must also be clogging resistant and dust must be prevented from accumulating in corners where it may ignite. To avoid electrical fires heating products should have low temperature elements. The choice of material is also very important in these environments.
Choose
Elektra F - Electrically heated, casing in stainless steel, low element temperature, IP65.
