Description

Compact and efficient process air/inert gas heater, capab le of producing exit temper atures up to 1400°F
(760°C). The serpentine coil elem ent is sup ported a long its ent ire leng th by a thre aded ceram ic rod, an d
is protected by a qu artz tube sheath. The Series heater s are avai lable in either open-ended or nozzled
styles. Wattage ranges from 600W to 4000W. If operated correctl y, element life will be greater than
5000 hours.

Safety

SHOCK HAZARD Only qualified individuals should install this heater and related controls. Follow all applicable

!

electrical codes and use proper wiring.
BURN/FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD Do not use with or near explosive or reactive gases. Avoid contact with the

!

side, or exposure to the exit-end, during or soon after operation. DO NOT USE NEAR VOLATILE OR
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS.

Precautions

!

Use filtered air. Avoid grease, oil, or oil vapors, corrosive or reactive gases that will damage heater.

!

Operate at safe voltages as shown on the PERFORMANCE CURVES. Excess voltage will cause premature

failure.

!

Always have sufficient airflow through the heater before applying power. Otherwise element will overheat very
quickly, and burn out. NOTE: A thermocouple cannot detect temperatures if there is no flow – turn on flow before
applying power, even when a controller with a thermocouple is being used.

!

Use phase angle fired power controllers. On-off controllers may shorten heater life (or burnout element).

!

For closed-loop control, use exposed junction type “K” thermocouple within one inch of the heater exit.

!

For closed-loop control, use a temperature controller with a fast sampling period (500ms) and minimal overshoot.

Installation

" Securely mount the heater.
" Connect the filtered air source to the heater.
" If a thermocouple is used, ensure that it is located within one inch from the heater exit.

Start-up

"

Reference the PERFORMANCE CURVES section for operational parameters before attempting to operate

heater(s).

" Turn on air supply and adjust to desired flow/pressure.
" If using a closed loop system, turn on power to the temperature and power controller, then set the desired

temperature on the temperature controller. If using an open loop system, increase power to the heater through
the power controller until the desired temperature is attained.

Performance Curves

STYLE A (OPEN ENDED) HEATER CURVES:

The attached performance curves show exit air temperatures at different airflows and voltages. Pressure readings
(longer dashed lines) are measured at the inlet to the heater with no entrance or exit restrictions. Solid lines indicate
safe, normal life operating conditions. The shorter dash lines indicate marginal, shorter-life operating conditions
leading to premature burnout. With a known flow (or pressure) at the heater entrance, follow the flow (or pressure)
line across until it meets the desired temperature curve. Drop a line straight down to intersect the x-axis. This point,
along the “Heater volts – true RMS” axis, represents the voltage required to generate the desired exit air temperature
at the chosen flow rate (inlet pressure).

STYLE B (NOZZLED) HEATER CURVES:

With the small nozzle, it is difficult to measure exit end temperature accurately. Therefore, a different set of
performance limits must be used. For these curves, operating with voltages and flows to the left of the curve results
in long heater life. Operating to the right of the curve results in heater burn out.
