can this product be used inside of a refinery? is it a fully sealed electronic device?

It is fully sealed. I've never been in a refinery, but I don't know why it would not operate normally in that environment.

It is not certified as intrinsically safe, but is IP 65 rated, meaning it can repel water sprayed at pressure similar to a garden hose, and is dustproof.

It is tough and water proof as far as I know. I have dropped in snow several times. I would not suggest submerging device in liquid on purpose though.

The case has open, uncovered holes that the LED light shines through. The LED's and the surrounding circuit board are completely exposed to condensation. The aquarium top has a clear plastic window to allow the light through, and it is not sealed as well. Basically, it's not designed properly. If they were to seal the window, and seal the LED top, it would be a great deal for the money. I went with a clear glass top and a stand off LED fixture from a competing brand (Aqueon.)

Yes, I do feel safe leaving said product on will not at home. As a design engineer of switch mode power supplies there not much to the circuit that that can lead to a hazardous condition, but they can fail. The fixture is all metal and certified by ETL. ETL is like UL or CSA. Use it safely and you should not have a problem.

I cannot find any need to oil the pump as it appears to be a completely sealed unit. Have been using for a couple of months without a problem.

No, I'm afraid it's not. The wires and workings are pretty well shielded (I accidentally spiled a cup of water on mine and none of it got in there) but not well enough for exterior use.

Yes it is totally sealed, waterproof where u can submerge it in water. My tank is larger than what it is rated for and works perfect.

No. The unit is not sealed. The filter slides out for easy servicing (See the picture).

the simple answer is yes---that's what this product is supposed to do. however, oxidized contact cleaning is a matter of degree with chemical cleaners. extremely oxidized contacts would not be much helped. but for most of our protected(stored indoors) electronic equip crc is very helpful. watch skin contact as this liquid seems particularly irritating---otherwise it works as it should---esp in small, tight places where one can't hand burnish electrical contact points. mike h.

The unit can be sealed because it is a hybrid, meaning tubes in the preamp phase, and solid state in the output stage. Tubes tend to make much more heat than solid state devices. In this case, the tubes are exposed to allow heat dissipation (and because it looks cool!). The other components contained in the case create very little warmth, but the heat that is created is dissipated through the aluminum case. The case on this unit is designed to be a heat sink of sorts.

I would not think this would be something you would use this for. Unit is very small and I recall you need to hold this device very close (a few inches away) from area being sanitized.

I used tablets to sanitize it. If your oil is hot I would say no and even if cold no.

I would doubt it; this is not an industrial unit. However, in the room that my wife smokes in this unit does a great job of neutralizing the smells associated with cigs.

I definitely would NOT use this inside. In order for it to work it needs to get really hot. It will likely ruin your indoor burners. Also there will be way too much smoke. There is no way to have proper ventilation indoors for it.

Not sure what you mean by "sealed". Give me a little more info and I can look tonight.

Having been a 10 year member of a refinery fire brigade, I would strongly recommend not using this heater in an enclosed area like a garage for a couple of reasons. Any burning hydrocarbon, i.e. butane, gives off carbon monoxide. This is considered the "Silent Killer". The second reason, this heater has an open flame. Any containers of flammable liquids could be ignited by this flame if vapors are released or stored to close for the pressure rating on the container. This heater works great, but should only be used in a well ventilated area.

I purchased two of them and neither were sealed either. I didn't think anything about it at the time. But I've been using it for weeks and haven't had any issues.

Tom, I'm afraid I could only guess-supposing you are concerned with any oil base products in your growing-understood. I know these things do dissipate between the oil and water mixtures sometimes used as adhesive...but, again, have no idea how those units were contained. I do know I'd prefer buying them locally in future as they are much cheaper over-the-counter...hope this helps a wee bit... R
