Choosing an Air Process Heater

Step-by-step breakdown of how to specify a heater that will work for your application.

Features

These high-temperature, moderate-volume air heaters are designed for continuous high-temperature operations up to 1200°F while supplying a good flow rate up to and in excess of 50 CFM. This kind of heater is especially suited for vacuum and pressure environments, as well as other applications where a heavy-duty construction is desirable. Design features include a nickel-chromium heating element supported inside of a high quality ceramic core. The outside sheath is stainless steel with heliarc welds and fittings. The terminals are a high-quality ceramic-to-metal especially designed for heavy loads and high pressures.

• Designed for high volume and high temperatures
• Pressure rating: 100 PSIG at room temperature – higher pressure ratings are available
• Made in the USA

Wattage calculation and heater selection

For applications with input temperatures below 120°F, you can find the required wattage quickly by plugging the flow rate (R_flow, in SCFM) and temperature rise (Δ_T, in °F) into this formula:

Required kW = R_flow • Δ_T3,000 • 1.2
