Air Heaters - 3

Constructed of sturdy 0.430 in. (11 mm) diameter WATROD™ heating elements mounted to a 1/4 in. (6 mm) thick steel flange, duct heaters are easily adapted to many non-pressurized air-heating systems. They are easily installed in applications requiring a wide range of temperature versus air flow combinations. 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 duct work. This reduces downtime costs because the heating elements can be replaced individually....

Air Heaters Duct Heaters LDH SERIES and D SERIES Watt Density vs. Air Temperature/Velocity curve’s intersecting point. This shows the recommended watt density based on a maximum sheath temperature of 1400°F (760°C). For longer heater life, lower watt densities should be chosen. WATROD Duct Heater Watt Density Vs. Air Temperature Velocity WATROD Duct Heater Watt Density Vs. Air Temperature Velocity To decide watt density requirements, first determine the desired outlet air temperature and velocity in feet per minute. Then, follow the lines on the graph for velocity and process temperature to...

Air Heaters Duct Heaters LDH SERIES and D SERIES Pressure Drop vs. Air Velocity The rate at which pressure drops through the duct heater is critical for properly sizing blowers and pumps. The Pressure Drop vs. Air Velocity graph gives recommended maximum velocities in feet per minute and meters per minute according to the air velocity and duct heater size. To determine the pressure drop through the duct heater, follow the air velocity (FPM or MPM) over to the appropriate curve, which identifies the duct heater size. Then, take the intersecting point down to the approximate pressure drop...
