Duct Heaters

High efficiency, compactness and ease of installation make the utilization of a Forced- Air Duct Heater an ideal solution in applications where fan-forced heating is required. Two designs are available based on the operating temperature;

  • Medium performance ducted heater, for up to 750°F outlet temperatures
  • High-performance ducted heater, for up to 1100°F outlet temperatures

The heat source is a set of tubular elements that are arranged in an optimum configuration to minimize the pressure drop.

Recommended protective devices for Duct Heaters

  • Air-flow switch: Installed on the inlet side of the air duct heater, air-flow switches prevent the energizing of heaters when there is no airflow.
  • Over temperature Protection: A type “K” high-limit thermocouple attached to one of the heating elements monitors the temperature. The thermocouple is attached to a controller that has a manual reset.
  • Fan interlock: To prevent the duct heater from energizing when the fan is not running, the fan starter circuit is interlocked with the heater controls. A time delay can be incorporated in order to keep the fan running after the heater gets de-energized.
