ATEX Approved Coolers

ATEX approved coolers are hydraulic heat exchangers that meet the requirements of the European ATEX directive (2014/34/EU), which governs equipment intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. These coolers are designed to prevent ignition sources and ensure safe operation in Zone 1, Zone 2, or other classified areas.

Typical features include:

• Intrinsically safe or explosion-proof fan motors

• Anti-sparking construction and materials

• Certified enclosures and temperature controls

• Compliance with ATEX equipment group and category requirements

• Certified safety – fully compliant with ATEX and UKEX standards for hazardous zones

• Reliable heat dissipation – maintains safe oil temperatures in high-risk environments

• Durable construction – built to withstand corrosive, dusty, or flammable conditions

• Flexible configurations – available in air-oil or water-oil formats, with AC or DC fan options

• Expert support – backed by our in-house knowledge of ATEX regulations and system design

These coolers are essential for maintaining operational safety and performance in industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, marine, mining, and energy.

Our technical team has extensive experience in specifying and supplying ATEX-compliant hydraulic equipment. We can help you:

• Select the correct ATEX zone classification

• Identify suitable cooling technology for your application

• Ensure full documentation and certification

• Integrate coolers into wider ATEX-approved hydraulic systems

You can learn more about our capabilities on our ATEX market page, or explore our free eBook on European ATEX and British UKEX regulations for a deeper understanding.

We source ATEX approved coolers from a wide network of manufacturers, including:

Emmegi … and many more

As an independent supplier, we offer unbiased recommendations based on your system’s needs – not a manufacturer’s catalogue.

What does ATEX stand for? ATEX is short for “Atmosphères Explosibles” – the European directive for equipment used in explosive atmospheres.

Can you help with UKEX compliance too? Yes – we support both ATEX and UKEX requirements and can advise on cross-border compliance for UK and EU markets.

Are ATEX coolers available in different voltages and fan types? Absolutely. We offer a range of AC and DC fan-driven models, with options for air-oil or water-oil cooling.
