• Thermal oil heating coils (duct or AHU mounted) complete with two-way or three-way control valves
• Electric unit blast heaters (safe and hazardous areas)
• Thermal oil unit blast heaters (safe and hazardous areas)

Ventilation systems

EP HVAC supplies dedicated ventilation systems as well as component equipment such as fans, louvers, and moisture eliminators with filter coalescers in stainless or galvanised, including:

• Engine room ventilation
• Mud pit ventilation (explosion-proof fans)
• Shale shaker room ventilation (explosion-proof fans)
• Machinery space areas
• Hazardous-area ventilation
• Hazardous-area cooling

We have extensive knowledge and the experience to deal with offshore hazardous-area ventilation in the production environment. Safety is always paramount.
