Zone 2 air compressors are containerised modular compressors that specially designed to work in hazardous areas. Modular compressors are plug and play, no need to install in a building room, suitable for non-fixed gas points with large compressed air demand such as infrastructure construction, road construction, tunnel excavation, etc.

Modular container design and multiple combinations is a worth considering compressed air solution in various working conditions which can provide compressed air reliably anytime and anywhere.

What is zone 2 air compressor?

Zone 2 air compressor is a modular compressor modified from a container, which is equipped with an independent electric control room, air compressor and post-processing equipment. T

ake the KHW series high pressure piston compressor as an example, the piston air compressor, air tank, air dryer, filters, air distribution tank, waste oil collector, control power cabinet and other functional equipment are integrated through pipelines, electrical, instrumentation, sewage and ventilation systems and installed in a container.

Advantages of zone 2 modular compressor

Traditional air compressor rooms are generally fixed houses. factories or worksites need to vacate or build independent air compressor rooms to place air compressors and post-processing equipment.

However, for field construction, road construction, railway construction, tunnel excavation and other situations where the gas-using locations are not fixed but the gas demand is large, the containerized zone 2 air compressor can well meet such gas demand.

The Kotech zone II modular compressor station has an active Pyroban system (meaning no flame trap maintenance), gas detection and a self contained fire suppression system.

The zone 2 air compressor is usually driven by diesel engine and housed in a fully ATEX approved 94/9/EC, protective DNV 2.7-1 galvanised steel container certified for Zone II hazardous area operation. The compressor is fully compliant to the new DNV 2.7-2 standard, complete with forklift pockets and twistlock points to provide greater flexibility for transportation and stacking on site.
