Description

This 10KW VTA gas electric heater can be used for Air, Nitrogen, inert gases, and CO2. Two-body flange model (see picture). Special price while stock lasts.

VTA units can be used with blowers. The pressure drop is less than 0.2 psi for up to 750C exit temperature.

Plug in for any single-phase voltage 208V to 240V (see below for adequate power for each supply).

Stainless steel construction for low distortion.

Model:VTA500-10 (208/220V /230V/240V).

The power is 10kW 50/60Hz for a 240V input and 9kW 50/60Hz for a 208V input.

The flow is ~34 SCFM at 900F (500C), 75 SCFM at 500F, or close to ~ 100 SCFM for 390F with a 0.2″ psi pressure drop.

For higher temperatures ~25CSFM at 900C with 0. 4″ psi. At above 750C, compressed air flow is preferable.

Note the top will change in dimensions if the feed troughs option is elected.

Temperature: Maximum 900°C for continuous Air. Typical use output ~ (150 – 900°C).   Control temperatures with flow variations. Power can be adjusted on the optional control panel. If a control panel is purchased, flow temperature can be adjusted with flow rate, power, or temperature settings.

Unit Description: Custom VTA Airtorch® Heavy Duty Industrial Air Heater

System Model VTA500 series is a fan or air heater with continuous hot air discharge up to a maximum of 900°C. Outlet 2″ NPT. Inlet 2″ NPT female (see product images). The picture shown may be illustrative only.

Outlet 2″ NPT.

Inlet NPT female.

The unit shown in the photograph fits a 9″ Diameter (at flange)  and 22″ Long envelope.

Pictures also show outlet and inlet, power chords, and T/C wires.

Note that the unit is a plugin with a minimum flow at full power.

Lower temperatures are obtained by flowing a higher gas amount or using the HIPAN/XPAN control temperature and power control panel. This panel has a phase angle SCR and current limit features.

Not rated for hot input beyond 60°C.   Not rated for wet input.

Note: Parts of the surface are hotter than 50°C. The Airtorch® has a Type “K” thermocouple installed as a standard; an over-temperature T/C is provided when supplied with an electrical control panel unit.

 

Unit Features:

• Stainless Steel Shell Construction
• Double flange model.’
• The unit is not rated for pressure.
• Built-in Type K Thermocouple (OTC offered with XPAN)
• Lightweight with a compact, ergonomic design
• 208/220 or 230/240V plugin design
• Rapid heat-up
• Compressed Air/gas compatible
• Inlet gas not to exceed 70°C
• Outlet 2″ NPT.
• Inlet 2″ FNPT.
• 1 Bar use. Please choose the feedthrough option if a sealed unit is required.
• 208-240V 50/60Hz (Single phase).  The Wall socket must be able to provide 10 KW to the device. 240V is required for the highest temperature. Please follow local electrical codes.

Specs:

• Air Inlet: Compressed Air or Gas (DO NOT USE COMBUSTIBLE GASES) Air Outlet 2″ NPT fitting.
• Weight: Lightweight with a compact, ergonomic design
• Temperature: Maximum 1000°C continuous. MHI controls are recommended if used close to the maximum temperature.
• Voltage: 208/220/230/240VAC Frequency: 50/60 HZ. The picture shown above is the approximate unit. It fits a 9″Diameter envelope (at flange)  and a 22″ Long envelope.
• Power Consumption: ~ 10 Kilowatts Output Nominal@240V. It may be used as a 208V, 220V, or 230V plugin. The power is slightly lower at 208V.
• Power Control: The optional control panel allows you to change the airflow or the output power, varying the output temperature.
• Optional: XPAN™ is required if power and temperature control options are needed. Please contact MHI.
• Flowmeter not included. Fan not included.
• Standard Accessories:
• Display – Not included- optional
• Built-in Thermocouple can be linked for external display.

For users who want power adjustment along with temperature control adjustment or wish to use at a lower than the maximum power, an XPAN Control Panel 208V/220V/240V is recommended. The units plug into the 208/230/240 V plugin as long as the minimum flow of about ~25-28 SCFM is maintained and the unit flow does not exceed the minimum temperature. Please contact MHI at 513-772-0404 for electrical control panel quotes or use the pull-down menu above.

Generally, when operating close to the maximum rated temperature, it is advisable to use SCR-based controls with a rapid Overtemperature cut-off T/C (thermocouple) and the process T/C. These are available in the XPAN panels. MHI can provide this extra T/C.  Please select the options menu.
