Key Features
Highest outlet temperatures [(1,100°C) (2,012°F due to unique patented design
Power density comparable with gas burners
Excellent outlet temperature accuracy (± 1 °C / F)
Internal thermocouple for secure over temperature protection and controls
Wide flow rate range: 20 – 200 % of nominal flow rate (or higher with custom Flow Heaters)
With a unique design and robust internal temperature control, the Kanthal® Flow Heater can deliver gas outlet temperatures of up to 1,100°C (2,012°F), compared with 800°C (1,470°F) in conventional air heaters, as well as a temperature accuracy within ±1°C. When it comes to drying and preheating processes, flow heaters can deliver the same performance as gas burners but with increased heat efficiency. They can also reduce the CO2 footprint and eliminate combustion-related pollutants such as NOx and SOx from processes or facilities.
