Overview
The SKORPION ™ Process Air Heater from OSRAM SYLVANIA represents the perfect
combination of power, size, reliability and control in Air Heating technology.
With a closed-loop PID temperature control system, the SKORPION ™ produces air
temperatures from 1200°F (650°C) (120V version) to 1400°F (760°C) (240V version), to ensure
precise control of your process.
If used correctly, an element life of 5000 hours or greater can be expected.
Operation
1. Turn SKORPION air heater ON using two switches
1.1. Switch S1 (blower) sends power to the blower and to heater switch S2.
1.2. Switch S2 (heater) sends power to the heater control circuit.
1.3. Note, for heater safety, S2 (heater) cannot turn ON without S1 (blower) ON.
2. Adjust airflow via a rotational air damper at the blower inlet.
3. Adjust set point (SV) with the UP/DOWN arrows on the temperature controller. Heater will
ramp to temperature.
3.1. The set point temperature (SV) is in GREEN.
3.2. The process temperature (PV) is in RED.
3.3. The process temperature is measured with an internal type “K” thermocouple located at
the end of an element inside the stainless housing.
