Drying ovens & dryers
Hot air supply and recirculation for batch and continuous dryers.
DUCT HEATER
Duct Heater
Tubular elements in a flanged frame, mounted directly into your duct — the whole air stream passes through the heated bank.
OVERVIEW
What it is
An electric duct heater heats process air directly: straight or finned tubular elements are mounted in a flanged frame that bolts between two duct sections. Finned elements enlarge the heat-transfer surface, so a compact bank can carry high power at moderate air velocity.
Staging or stepless SCR control keeps the outlet temperature stable while the fan ramps up and down. Interlocks with fan status and a downstream over-temperature thermostat protect the heater when airflow is lost.

SELECTION INPUT
What we need from you
Five inputs are usually enough for a preliminary selection and power estimate. You do not need a complete data sheet to start the conversation.Air volume (m³/h) and duct cross-section
Inlet and required outlet temperature
Available pressure budget — finned banks add resistance
Fan interlock and safety thermostat requirements
Hazardous area or dust atmosphere, if any
FAQ
Common questions
What happens if the fan stops?
Airflow must be proven before power is enabled. We supply fan-differential-pressure interlocks and a redundant over-temperature limiter as the standard safety chain.
How clean is the air allowed to be?
Finned elements need reasonably clean air. For dust-laden exhaust we widen spacing, use straight tubes and recommend filtration upstream.
Can one heater serve two temperature zones?
Yes — element banks can be segmented and controlled independently in one flanged frame.
How is heater power controlled?
Power can be divided into stages or controlled continuously with an SSR or SCR, matched to airflow and the required outlet temperature.
