inline air heaters are ideal for
rapidly heating air. Industrial strength open coil heaters provide
efficient heat transfer through direct heating element contact
with the airflow
Operation
To operate this heater, ensure air is flowing and ener-
gize the main supply disconnect. Set the controlling
device to the desired temperature.
During initial heating, it is recommended to slowly
ramp up the process set point and inspect the heating
system for problems.
DO NOT
operate the heater at voltages higher than the
recommended use.
DO NOT
operate the heater at flow rates below the
minimum flow range (1 SCFM)—reduced flow can
shorten heater life.
Supply clean, dry air to the heater at a max of 120 psi .
CAUTION
Tutco-Farnam Custom Products recommends
installation be performed by qualified personnel
familiar with the National Electrical Code and all
local codes and standards. It is the responsibility
of the installer to verify the safety and suitability
of the installation.
Failure to follow Tutco-Farnam’s recommenda-
tions could result in premature failure, serious
equipment damage, injury or death.
WARNING
DO NOT
mount heaters in an atmosphere containing combustible gases,
vapors, dusts or fibers.
Hazardous voltages are present in this equipment. Lock out and tag the
branch circuit disconnect switch before working on this heater.
Exterior of heater at exhaust is approximately the air temperature. Treat the
exterior of the heater as a burn hazard.
Typical causes for uneven airflow are structural components blocking air or
mounting the heater too close to elbows, transitions or the fan/blower.
