Heat Torch™ 050

The half-inch diameter Heat Torch™ 050 process heaters are compact and highly-reliable air heaters for applications which require a modest amount of focused air. In-service applications include staking, curing, drying, heat-shrinking, sterilization, and adhesive activation.

The Heat Torch™ 050 process air heaters are available in power ratings from 100 to 500 watts with standard increments of 50 watts. Allowable air flow is from 1 to 10 Standard Cubic Feet per Minute. Maximum air input temperature is 250° F. Maximum air output temperature is 1300° F. Standard configurations include a choice of air inlet and exhaust fittings.

Calculate the electrical power, flow rate or temperature requirement as follows:

Watts = SCFM x ΔT/3

SCFM = airflow in standard cubic feet per minute.

Δ T = temperature rise in degrees F from the inlet to the exhaust.
