VTA900-10BL. Power 10 KW. Use up to 900°C

Description

VTA900-10BL (230/240V 1P)

This 10 kW VTA class gas electric heater can be used to heat Air, Nitrogen, Inert Gases, and CO2. The exit at 10 KW power can be up to 900°C (range).  The XPAN control panel (offered as an option) is highly recommended for use temperatures above 700°C.

Please check with MHI prior to purchase as the pressure drops and maximum temperature depends on the gas, the electrical supply available and the type of use.  The unit is a two-body flange model (see picture below).  The special sale price is only valid while the stock lasts.  Several types of optional electrical XPAN control panels are offered.

PLEASE CHOOSE THE SEALED FEEDTROUGH OPTION if a high degree of sealing is required and for use at more than 1 bar and closer to 1.5 bar inlet pressure.  Pictures below show units with and without the optional sealed Feed-throughs. The dimensions with heat shields (not shown) are 613mm long and approximately 300 mm diameter.

 

Plug in for any single-phase voltage 208V to 240V (see below for  the maximum delivered power for each supply).  Not for use beyond 240V single phase supply. Minimum supply is 208V single phase. Heat shields provided. Stainless steel construction for low distortion.

Use with voltages 208/220V /230V/240V.

The maximum power is 10kW 50/60Hz for a 240V electric supply.

The maximum power is 9kW 50/60Hz for a 208V or 230V electric supply.

For air:   For use temperatures close to 900C, with about ~18 SCFM flow for air.  The pressure drop is less than ~0.3 psi for up to 750 °C exit temperature.  Note that the inlet region (the top entry) may change in dimensions if the sealed feed-troughs i.e., more than one atmosphere use is elected.

Temperature:  The pressure drop is less than ~0.3 psi for up to 750°C exit temperature for continuous air flow, about 850°C for CO2.   Typical use output ~ (is up to 850/ 900°C).   The temperature at the exit can be controlled with flow or power variations. The unit plugs into a supply of 208-240V electrical supply for a flow and temperature setting of up to 900°C.   If a control panel is selected, the exit temperature can be adjusted with flow rate (user scope), power (XPAN required), or temperature settings on the PID controller.

Unit Description: Custom VTA/MTA Airtorch® Heavy Duty Industrial Air Heater for close to one atmosphere flow.

Outlet 2″ NPT. Inlet 2″ NPT female (see product images). The picture shown may be illustrative only.

Inlet 2″ FNPT.

The unit shown in the photograph fits a 9″ Diameter (at flange)  and 22″ Long envelope.  Heat shields not included in dimensions.

Pictures also show outlet and inlet, power chords, and T/C wires.  The XPAN is also offered with an optional UL 508A rating and with an optional stand.   

Lower temperatures are obtained by flowing a higher gas amount than the minimum required or using the HIPAN/XPAN control temperature and power control panel to control both temperature and power.  The XPAN panel has a phase angle SCR and other features such as an ethernet port.

Not rated for hot gas input beyond 70°C.   Not rated for wet input.  Note: Parts of the surface are hotter than 50°C during use. This Airtorch® has a Type “K” thermocouple installed as a standard; an over-temperature T/C is provided as an option 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. Note that the unit is a plugin (into a 208 to 240V single phase supply) with a minimum flow required when energized depending on the power.
• Inlet gas not to exceed 70°C (can be increased to 100°C with the sealed feedthrough option)
• Outlet 2″ NPT.
• Inlet 2″ FNPT.
• 1 Bar use (unless the feed through option is selected in which case a 1.5 bar  to 2 bar inlet is permitted). Please choose the feedthrough option if a sealed unit is required.  When this option is selected, MHI provides a 2 Bar internal pressure test certificate for the unit.
• Supply:  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 and power. 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 900°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.
• Standard Accessories:
• Display – Not included- optional
• Built-in Thermocouple can be linked for external display.
• 

The units as offered are for atmospheric use or up to 2 Bar.  For more tan one atmosphere use please select the option for the feed-throughs.  Control panels that provide a feedback control are highly recommended when using above 600C, although the unit can plug into a  single phase volts (208 to 240 V) for use with the correct flow.  The 240V single phase supply is required for 10 kW.  For users who wish to adjust power along or wish to use at a lower than the maximum power, an XPAN Control Panel 208V/220V/240V is recommended. Generally, when operating close to the maximum rated temperature, it is advisable to use the XPAN control panel which is a SCR-based control panel 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 items from the the options menu.  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 rated temperature. Please contact MHI at 513-772-0404 for electrical control panel quotes or use the pull-down menu above for standard panels.
