Whether you’re working with drying, curing, emissions control, or another industrial manufacturing process, these high flow air heaters offer the power and efficiency your system needs to perform at its best.
At TUTCO Farnam, we provide customized in line air heaters and control solutions designed to integrate seamlessly into your industrial systems.TUTCO Farnam’s Flow Torch™ family of process air heaters are designed for high-efficiency heating of large airflows, making them ideal for a wide range of industrial applications. These heaters, which can be customized with numerous options to meet specific application and performance requirements can reach temperatures up to 900ºF. Some of the advantages these process heaters offer are:
- Minimal obstruction to airflow (low pressure drop)
- Ideal for low pressure (and economical) blowers
- Support high volume air flow
- Heat air up to 482°C (900°F)
- Fast heat up and cool down due to low mass open coil design
- Can be connected to suitable flexible duct or pipe fittings
- All Flow Torch Heaters are UL recognized components under UL file number E365755
- 250ºF standard inlet temperature *(392ºF possible with modification)
TUTCO Farnam offers a range of graduated sizes for this versatile platform, making it a standard product with multiple customizable options. Our team provides application assistance to help you select the industrial air heater that best suits your needs. Additionally, control packages, pressure drop charts for easy comparison, and regenerative blowers integrated with complete systems are all available. With a long-standing history of dominance in the industrial heating solutions space, you can be confident that your custom Flow Torch™ will deliver optimal performance and longevity.
