Description

This unit is used to heat industrial products and spaces that may have frozen because of the weather or for other purposes that need hot air to 750C.  Adjustable flow.

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.

The blower is used to adjust the temperature.  The Output air at 750C is about 8 ACFM (226 liters per minute).  For 400C output ~ 6 SCFM. The fan-blower supplied can be set to different flows.

Typical Specifications:  

• Use for drying or other environmental requirements.
• Flameless Electric Heating is ideal for melting snow and providing quick heat.
• 2kW Hot Air Unit • 208-220V Supply 50/60Hz
• ~22″ long.  1/2″ NPT output.
• 4.6 kg with blower.  Legs provided.
• Speed control for the blower fan to adjust the 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).
• Optional Vittori tube.
• 2KW = 6824 BTU/hr.
• The Vittori extender tube (see video) may be purchased using the options. The Vittori Tube is 304 Stainless Stainless Steel 1200°F/1250°F air capable. About ~8″ bend diameter depends on the length.
• 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.
• 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.  Do not block exit.
• 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 for the 110V 50/60Hz.    If an option is not listed, please 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.

The video below demonstrates the rapid melting of ice cubes with an electric hot air weed killer VTA-2GC with an attached flexible tube extender. The video is meant to illustrate power and efficacy.  It can be used as a hot air water bubbler in a water tank if there is at least a 2-ft Vittori tube and no water splashes onto the unit.
