Frequently Asked Questions
Open coil heaters expose the resistance elements directly to the airstream, providing efficient heat transfer and fast response. Tubular designs enclose the resistance element within a metal sheath, which can provide additional protection in applications where environmental conditions or equipment requirements call for a more rugged heating element.
Yes. Duct heaters can be designed around specific duct dimensions, airflow requirements, voltages, heating capacities, installation orientations, and control requirements. Custom configurations can be particularly useful for retrofits or equipment with limited installation space.
Depending on the application, systems may incorporate airflow switches, automatic and manual-reset thermal cutouts, disconnects, fusing, contactors, and other protective devices. Specific requirements depend on the heater design, application, and applicable codes and standards.
Yes. Electric heating systems can be designed to interface with building automation and energy management systems using appropriate controllers, sensors, relays, SCRs, and other control components. This allows heating operation to respond to changing building conditions and control strategies.
Sizing typically depends on airflow, entering and required leaving air temperatures, available voltage and phase, duct dimensions, and required heating capacity. Proper airflow across the heater is also critical for safe, efficient operation.
