Quality Assurance
EXHEAT is a Total Quality Environment committed to continuous improvement to ensure that customers’ requirements
are met and backed up by a level of service necessary to operate in today’s global market place.
We operate a Quality Management System in accordance with the internationally recognised benchmark standard
ISO 9001:2008, which additionally meets the Quality Assurance requirements of both the European ATEX Equipment
Directive (2014/34/EU) and Pressure Equipment Directive (2014/68/EU), as well as the globally recognised IECEx
scheme. Products manufactured for the European market are CE marked and meet the requirements of the European
Low Voltage, EMC and Machinery Directives. EXHEAT is also registered with both Achilles and Achilles FPAL,
ensuring total quality in its products and systems.
Certification
EXHEAT holds approvals from North America, Europe, China, India, Korea, Russia, Brazil and globally through the
IECEx scheme for the manufacture of electrical heating equipment for use in potentially explosive atmospheres.
Compared to other types of industrial heating, such as fuel and gas fired heating systems or indirect heat exchangers
for steam, electric heating offers many advantages:
• Efficiency: Without the need for regular tuning or additional heat sources, electric heating boasts virtually 100%
efficiency, since almost all of the electricity is converted to heat.
• Precision: Being a direct heating solution, electric heating boasts fast reaction times, offering superior
temperature control and the flexibility to deal with varying process conditions.
• Environmental: Without the production of pollutants as a by-product, electric heating avoids the monitoring
and control measures necessary to meet many environmental regulations. This, combined with minimal moving
parts, means noise regulations are no longer a concern.
• Physical Size: Electric heating boasts a small footprint, saving valuable space by not requiring additional piping
and supports.
• Costs: Electric heating equipment are typically physically smaller in size, meaning that initial costs are
considerably lower. Operating costs are also minimised, as the need for frequent and complex maintenance,
down times, and expensive performance monitoring activities are similarly reduced.
• Maintenance: With minimal moving parts, electric heating requires less maintenance.
• Installation: Electric heating boasts a simpler means of operation, with faster setup times.
