Find the air conditioner you need from an online vendor. Before making a purchase, know your options for explosion proof air conditioning units, including:

1. Buy wall-mounted explosion proof air conditioners for a permanent fixture in your office or factory.
2. If you have remotes jobs or want the flexibility to cool different rooms, look for a portable air conditioner.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Install wall mounted explosion proof air conditioning units

For industrial jobs in hazardous locations, the most permanent and heavy duty cooling systems are wall mounted air conditioners. These are usually mounted on the exterior wall of a building or shelter, and are available with cooling capacities up to multiple tons. For larger installations, base support may be required for the unit as well.

I recommend: Marc is an explosion proof air conditioner manufacturer with multiple sizes available for sale. See the specifications for their wall mount air conditioners and choose the one right for you. Matticks Industries sells different varieties of wall mount industrial explosion proof air conditioners. Buy units that are cooling-only, or machines that will produce electric heating as well.

Find a portable explosion proof air conditioner distributor

For single rooms that need air conditioning at a time, or for mobile jobs, a portable cooling system may be exactly what you need. Look for small units that may be wheeled from room to room or for larger projects, look for units that are mounted on truck beds or trailers to tote to remote locations.

I recommend: Cool rooms or smaller areas with a portable model from Matticks Industries. View specifications for multiple portable air conditioners on their website. Applied Companies sells a larger trailer mounted air conditioning units, as well as a range of other air conditioners. If not standardly available, they will make any of their air conditioning units explosion proof.

Rent an explosion proof air conditioner

Temporary or remote jobs can still be hot ones. If you don't want to buy a full explosion proof HVAC system, rent one from an air conditioner distributor.

I recommend: NuTemp is a nationwide supplier of explosion proof air conditioners for rent. Rent equipment for an enclosure of any size, and get help with installation as well. They also offer new air conditioners for sale, and buy used units you are looking to sell.
