Specifications:Steam Superheater-1kW- INL for Dry Hot Steam |
|
Model: | Dry Steam Superheater-1kW- INL (110V, 1kW)
Air heater for moist or dry air. Air ~ 1.8 SCFM. Dry air output will produce an 850C air output maximum. The dry steam (~2 kg/hr) input of 100C will produce a steam output of about 500C. 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. |

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.
