INTRODUCTION
Novatec's highly efficient indirect fired gas heater is designed to be a more economical, durable
alternative to electrically heated units. Like all Novatec products, the GFH-Series heaters
incorporate rigorous design and manufacturing standards as well as the highest quality materials.
The gas heater complies with NFPA-86 standards and utilizes components that carry UL, FM, and
AGA markings. IRI Gas Trains and other options are available. The Control Panel is UL/C-UL
Classified and includes a Disconnect Switch. At the heart of every Novatec GFH-Series heater is a
nozzle mixing gas burner manufactured by Eclipse, Inc., who is the acknowledged leader in
industrial process air heating systems.
The fixed air nozzle mixing burner's unique features include a high turndown temperature range,
which allows for the processing of a variety of resins requiring different drying temperatures. The
system includes a heavy-duty stainless steel heat exchanger. This advance design typically
provides operating efficiencies up to and above 90% depending on conditions, and results in a cool
flue temperature. It totally isolates combustion products from the process air stream. The GFH
series components that are exposed to extreme heat are manufactured to the highest standard,
which guarantee low maintenance and a longer life. The result is a safe, more cost-effective,
indirect fired gas dryer.
