| Watlow Hannibal has developed a
new line of process air heaters that offer improved performance and increased versatility
in medium to low temperature applications.
The new duct heaters are modular and consist
of two parts. The first is a 6 kW heater available in either 240 or 480 volts, single or
three phase.
The second part of the heater consists of the electrical housing that protects each
module's termination area, and a main flange that bolts into the user's ductwork. The
heater modules are installed in the housing and main flange via rectangular slots in the
main flange. The range of modules that can be accommodated in various duct heater
assemblies, range from 1-10 modules. A range of 6-60 kW, in 6 kW increments is achieved.
The new design of the modular duct heater offers increased reliability. The individual
modules are removable through the housing of the assembly, which eliminates the need to
pull the complete heater from the ductwork. This reduces downtime and costs because the
heating elements can be replaced individually.
Performance improvements include quicker response time and reduced infiltration from
the air stream being heated into the electrical enclosure. |
