With its high level of efficiency, the W22X 800 is also suitable for use in explosion-proof areas. This high level of efficiency is achieved, among other things, by a special tube cooling system made of stainless steel to optimize the air flow. The motors have a rigid steel housing and are available with 2, 4, 6 and 8 poles at frequencies of 50 and 60 Hz.
Contrary to the usual strategy of designing large engines as project-oriented one-offs, the W22X 800 was designed as a series engine with numerous option modules. It currently has the Atex and IEC Ex certifications for the Ex d(e) IIB T4 Gb area – more will follow. The combination of robustness and low maintenance makes the W22X 800 a perfect engine for energy-intensive applications with demanding environmental conditions, especially in the oil and gas sector and in mining.
Water-cooled electric motors: compact, powerful, quiet
Thanks to their cooling system, the ultra-compact, water-cooled motors from KATT achieve 1,5 to 2,6 times higher power density than conventional water jacket cooled motors. They are extremely compact in size, which in comparison to conventional water-cooled motors can often save several sizes while maintaining the same performance. By comparison, a conventional water jacket cooled motor with 300 kW in 315 size corresponds to an ultra-compact Katt 180 motor.
