Heat Torch™ 150 Inline Air Heater

High-Capacity, Focused Heating for Large Airflow Applications

Made in USA

The Heat Torch™ 150 from TUTCO Farnam is a 1.5" (38 mm) diameter inline air heater designed for high airflow applications requiring consistent, focused heat. Engineered for durability, long life, and substantial airflow, the 150 is ideal for industrial, laboratory, and OEM processes demanding repeatable thermal performance and energy efficiency. 

The Heat Torch 150 comes in two heater body lengths: 
4.7" length – accommodates 500–2,500 W in 250 W increments.
8.3" length – accommodates 2,750–5,000 W in 500 W increments. 

Operating with compressed air or other non-combustible gases, the Heat Torch 150 handles airflows from 4.8 to 70 SCFM, with maximum exhaust temperatures of 1,300°F (704°C) and maximum inlet temperatures of 250°F (121°C). Its stainless-steel body, UL-listed components, and flexible NPT inlet/outlet fittings allow easy integration into existing systems, ducting, or custom assemblies. Power options cover single-phase and three-phase supplies, enabling scalable solutions for large-volume airflow applications.
