What is explosion-proof FFU?

Explosion-proof FFU (Explosion-Proof Fan Filter Unit) is a kind of clean air supply equipment for special environments.

Like ordinary FFU, explosion-proof FFU uses a fan to drive air through a high-efficiency filter to provide filtered air for clean spaces; the difference is that for application scenarios where there may be risks such as flammable gases, steam or dust, corresponding explosion-proof electrical configurations can be adopted according to project requirements.

Typical structures include:

  • FFU cabinet

  • Explosion-proof motor or fan assembly that meets project requirements

  • centrifugal impeller

  • HEPA/ULPA filter

  • Current sharing and diversion structure

  • Electrical and control components

    How to constitute explosion-proof FFU

    Air → Fan → Uniform flow → HEPA → Clean air

    Basic structure of explosion-proof FFU

    01|Air entry

    Ambient air enters the equipment from the FFU air inlet side.

    02|Fan driver

    The fan assembly generates the required airflow, and the corresponding motor and electrical system are configured according to the project requirements.

    03|Air flow equalization

    The internal flow guide and flow equalization structure help the air enter the filter area evenly after passing through the fan.

    04|High efficiency filtration

    The air passes through a HEPA or ULPA filter to filter particulate matter in the air.

    05|Clean air delivery

    The filtered air is sent into the clean area from below the FFU or from the designated air supply direction.

    Note: The specific fan, motor, explosion-proof level, filter level and control method need to be determined according to actual project conditions.
