Description

This unit is used to heat industrial products and spaces that may have frozen because of the weather.

Unit

A heavy-duty 2kW air heater with an illuminated power switch with fan and fan control. Plug-in  208-240V Model. Industrial use. Scroll to the bottom of this page for a video clip.

Output air at 800C is about 8 ACFM (226 liters per minute).  For 400C output ~15 SCFM. The fan-blower supplies can be set to different flows.

Flameless Electric Heating is ideal for melting Snow and quick heat. 2KW = 6824 BTU/hr. Electric energy is unlimited, unlike a propane torch, which has a container.

The Vittori extender tube (see video) may be purchased using the options. Vittori tube is 304 Stainless Stainless Steel 1200°F/1250°F air capable. About ~8″ bend diameter depends on the length.

It can be used as a hot air water bubbler into a tank of water as long as there is at least a 2 ft Vittori tube and no water splashes onto the unit.

For long life, the suggested maximum rated temperature of the air at the exit of the VTA is ~750°C (1382°F). The unit can also perform to a maximum of ~900°C (1652°F). A temperature drop will be experienced at the end of the Vittori tube – when used at this temperature.

Typical Specifications:  

• 2kW Hot Air Unit • 208 to 240V Supply. 50/60Hz
• ~22″ long. 1/2″ NPT output. Weight with blower ~4.6 kg. Legs provided.
• Speed control for a fan to adjust the temperature.
• Please use the TC Read toimonitorfor display or displaying temperature.
• On-off Power Switch for Heater
• The unit contains an integral thermocouple (requires optional TC-Read-110V display or equivalent for temperature read-out.).
• The typical SCFM expected for a 750°C temperature is ~5 SCFM (for 240V). This varies with room temperature, voltage input, and type of use.
• Free flow of air required.  Not meant to pressure

Adjustable fan flow control included  – fan included.

The thermocouple is included.

The TC-Read or BPAN-O-PLUS  are optional items. Note that the TC-Read is only available in the 110V 50/60Hz.    If an option is not listed, don’t hesitate to contact MHI.

The plug is not supplied in the standard unit. Users must use a locally approved plug standard for the voltage and power of the Airtorch..
