Specifications:Steam Superheater-1kW- INL for Dry Hot Steam |
|
Model: | Dry Steam Superheater-1kW- INL (110V, 1kW)
Superheater for dry air-gas input. Or Dry Steam input. The dry steam (~2 kg/hr) input of 100C will produce a steam output of about 500C. Dry air output will produce an 850C air output maximum. Not for wet steam. For wet steam, please get in touch with MHI. Unit sold as is where is – no returns. |
Unit Description: | Model Steam Superheater-1kW- INL belongs to the Airtorch series of inline hot air/steam tool devices with continuous hot air discharge of up to 900°C. This Airtorch heater is specially treated for steam-nanostructured GAXP.
Such hot air/steam guns are used in steam-air cooking, plastic welding, heat shrinking of thermoplastics, ceramic drying, on-site heat treatment, plastic forming, and many other inline uses. The unique construction provides efficient heat recovery and management, providing high-efficiency hi-temperature discharge. If controls are not used and the unit is energized, a minimum flow of 50 slpm (gas) is required for 1 KW. A lower power input can allow a lower flow. For a flow lower than 50 slm, one needs a control panel that limits power and temperature—like the BPAN-O-PLUS, which allows a lower power setting. Dry Steam: Without a control panel plugged into 110V. Maximum Temperature use conditions are 900C at 110V plug-in at 100 slm@ gas full 1 KW power. Lower outlet temperature for steam. If dry steam is input the 1 KW may give ~800C steam output for 2 kg/hr steam gas. If the inlet steam is wet, there may be unsafe leak currents. We recommend GFI (ground fault detecting 120V plus) With Control Panel For a slow steam rate of less than 50 slpm, a control panel that limits power and temperature can be used —e.g., the BPAN-O-PLUS, which allows a lower power setting—is needed. This recuperating design eliminates radiant heat loss while enhancing efficiency and maintains a cooler outer shell temperature. Note: For high exit steam temperatures beyond 400, parts of the surface may get hot. This unit is for inline stand-alone use. The steam superheater has an in-built Type “K” thermocouple and an available temperature read-out (optional). Flow generation is with a steam generator and flow meter, both in the user scope. Plug and play. Optional: BPAN-O-PLUS and TC Read display. These are shown in the pull-down menu. If less than minimum flow is maintained – please use a lower power setting than 1 KW. This can be done by proportionately reducing the voltage or using the BPAN-O-PLUS Controller. When the BPAN-O-PLUS is purchased, the power can be reduced by ~50%. Below that power, a higher temperature may not be achieved. |
Dimensions: | Unit: 1.5″ dia x 15.25″ L (collar is 1.95″ dia)
Air inlet: 1/4″ NPT male fitting |
Weight: | Lightweight with a compact, ergonomic design |
Temperature: | The dry steam input of 100C will produce a steam output of about 800C for ~2.25 kg/hr dry steam input. Dry air output will produce an 800C-850C air output maximum at 1 SCFM. |
Airflow: | For Air-gas input, the minimum required is 1.8 CFM air at the inlet at max power for a 120V plug-in. Adjust the flow meter (optional) to get minimum airflow. Steam max is 2 kg/hr dry gas. |
Voltage: | 110/120 VAC |

Optional Accessories:
BPAN-O-PLUS and TC REad (Pictures shown above) |
Note the unit has its thermocouple.
Power controller BPAN-O-PLUS (120V) is an option for power control. This interfaces with the built-in thermocouple. The TC read purchase includes an additional K- thermocouple and its stand (TC Read+TC+STAND) or can be used with the BPAN-O-PLUS power controller (optional). The Built-in thermocouple can also be connected to the optional TC Read system for an external display. The TC-Read unit plugs into a 115/120V single-phase socket. Optional: 3 1/2″ LCD display switchable between °C and °F (TC Read) |
THE MINIMUM AIRFLOW REQUIRED Air-gas input FOR SAFE USE IS ~1.8 SCFM OR MORE.
