Industrial Electric Heater

Industrial electric heaters provide clean, dry, hot temperatures for large-capacity industrial and other enclosed space applications. With one heater activated, the increase in temperature of the air leaving the heater will be approximately 14.4 °C above ambient. Each additional heater will increase the temperature by the same amount. Thus, the air exiting the unit could be 43°C higher than the ambient temperature. Please note, however, that this is the increase in the air temperature exiting the heating unit. We are not able to maintain the steel temperature at this value without appropriate insulation.

Our units are heaters, in which we have three sets of heaters, 18 kW each. There are three switches, and each can be turned on and off. Each of the heaters will increase 10 to 15 °C above ambient temperature. The second heater will increase 20 to 30 degrees Celsius above ambient temperature, and with all three heaters, the temperature will increase 30 to 45 degrees above ambient temperature.

Likewise, the relative humidity also decreases 10 to 15% for each heater. You can see the table below as an example of a case study.

The heater has a blower 440/3/60, 380/3/60, 220/1/60, or 220/1/60, or it can also be air-driven. The size of the mouth of the heater is 16 inches, and this blower will force draft 6000 CFM of air into the vessel/tank through the heater. The air will be blown into the vessel/tank as the heater blower needs to have a capacity of 2,3 or 4 times the volume of the tank/vessel for maximum air exchange per hour.
