Process Air Heaters

Installed in forced air ducts, these units supply constant heat for industrial processes requiring air temperatures up to 750°F / 400°C. Construction features include heavy gauge mounting flange, insulated terminal enclosure and easily replaced heating elements. Typical uses include forced air dryers, core drying, heat treating, annealing and other high temperature applications.

Options:
Special ratings and/or sizes
Moisture resistant/explosion resistant terminal enclosure
All stainless steel frame construction
Thermowell
Replacement element part number J4W-0110
Thermocouple welded to sheath for high-limit protection
Solid State controls/control panels.
Guidelines:
Maximum Sheath Temperature: 1150°F/620°C
Maximum Outlet Air Temperature: The guideline
is based on 22 watts per square inch.

Unit should not be energized in air with a velocity less than 60FPM.
