VALUE ATEX Fan VA3-F-EX for Area Ventilation During Recovery of Flammable Refrigerants R290 and R600a

Do you need to buy large quantities?

The VA3-F-EX is an explosion-proof industrial fan with ATEX certification, developed by VALUE specifically for refrigeration and air conditioning applications using next-generation flammable refrigerants. Compatible with A3 class refrigerants (R290 propane, R600a isobutane), A2 and A2L, it provides fast, safe, spark-free ventilation in all operational contexts where explosive atmospheres may occur. The ECM (electronically commutated motor) ensures low energy consumption and minimal heat generation — essential characteristics in classified environments. With an airflow of approximately 550 m³/h, the VA3-F-EX allows rapid dilution and dispersal of gases, significantly reducing the time needed to make the work area safe. Its compact build and low weight (7.5 kg) with integrated carry handle make it easy to transport — a tool to keep permanently on the service van. Key Features

  • ATEX certification: II 2G Ex h IIA T4 Gb — suitable for Zone 1 and Zone 2
  • Explosion-proof design: spark-free construction and specialist motor
  • ECM motor: low power consumption (approx. 32 W), minimal heat output
  • High airflow: approx. 550 m³/h for rapid gas dilution
  • Operating temperature range: –30 °C / +50 °C
  • 5 m power cable included
  • Compact and lightweight: easy to carry with one hand
  • Quiet operation — ideal during service interventions

Applications

  • Ventilation during installation and maintenance of A3 refrigerant systems
  • Safe gas evacuation in the event of leaks or during work in confined spaces
  • Area purging in explosion-risk environments before and during service operations
  • Commercial refrigeration, air conditioning, industrial installations
