Marine environments present extreme conditions that demand durable and robust ventilation systems.
Challenges such as salt-water corrosion, fluctuating temperatures, high humidity, and confined spaces are constant factors that ventilation equipment must endure.
VENTILATION SOLUTIONS FOR MARINE AND OFFSHORE ENVIRONMENTS
Benefits of ventilation in marine applications:
-
Air quality control: Maintains clean air in engine rooms and cargo holds.
-
Prevention of hazardous gases: Avoids the build-up of flammable or toxic gases.
-
Temperature regulation: Helps dissipate heat generated by critical machinery.

ATEX Fans: In some marine applications, it is essential to install ATEX-certified fans for explosive atmospheres. This is crucial when transporting or storing chemicals or flammable materials that generate potentially hazardous atmospheres. ATEX fans ensure safe operation under these conditions.
ANTI-CORROSIVE FINISHES FOR EXTREME CONDITIONS
Fans used in marine environments must be prepared to withstand highly corrosive conditions. Casals Ventilación offers centrifugal fans made from stainless steel or with marine-grade finishes, such as C3, C4, and C5M, according to the ISO 12944 standard:
-
Stainless steel 304: Recommended for environments with moderate exposure to corrosion, such as the interiors of ships or areas protected from direct contact with extreme salinity.
-
Staintless steel 316: Specifically designed to resist corrosion in highly aggressive environments, such as areas exposed to direct saltwater and highly corrosive atmospheres in offshore applications.
-
C3: Ideal for urban and industrial atmospheres and areas with high humidity.
-
C4: Suitable for industrial and coastal environments, as well as chemical plants.
-
C5M: Recommended for high-salinity areas, such as marine environments, offshore platforms, and coastal zones.
