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.  All single phase.

The maximum power rating is 10kW 50/60Hz for a 240V (1P) 50/60 Hz electric supply.  The maximum power is 9kW 50/60Hz for a 208V or 230V electric supply.

For air:   For use at a maximum  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 use.    The unit plugs into a supply of 208-240V (single phase)  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), and 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.

Heat shields are provided. 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.  The XPAN panel has a phase angle SCR and other features such as an ethernet port. Sealed feed-troughs are optional.  

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.  

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 sthe unit is purchased with the electrical control panel unit.

• Built-in Thermocouple can be linked for external display.

The units as offered are for atmospheric use or up to 2 Bar only with the optional feedthroughs. The dimensional drawing includes the heat shields.  For more tan one atmosphere use please select the option for the feed-throughs -otherwise flow pressure is restricted to one bar.  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 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 900C, 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.
