GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AHP Series in-line air heaters are used to heat clean, dry air or gas for baking, drying, laminating, metal
working, packaging, plastic welding, preheating, sealing, soldering, shrink fitting and synthetic fabric sewing.
Outlet temperatures are varied by adjusting the voltage and/or the air flow. Closed loop control can also
be achieved with temperature controllers and “T” fittings to mount thermocouples. Consult tables below to
determine maximum and minimum recommended flow rates.
Calculate the flow rate, temperature rise, or power requirement as follows:
Watts = SCFM x ∆ T/3
SCFM = Standard Cubic Feet per Minute
∆ T = Temperature Rise in Degrees F from the Inlet to the Outlet
The cold air entry should always be at the termination end of the heater. Do not run without proper air flow.
Controls should be used to prevent operation of the heater without air flow, i.e. and air flow switch. Incoming
air should be filtered prior to passing through the heater and be free of moisture, condensation or other
contaminants.

* Indicates watts per inch of heated length. The watts per inch of heated length can be changed by
reducing the operating voltage or by ordering a custom made heater.
** These air heaters can be operated on either 120 or 240V. Specifications are shown for operation
on both 120 and 240V.
