Frequently Asked Questions
Closed-loop control (PID + thermocouple) is strongly recommended for high-wattage systems or applications requiring tight temperature regulation, safety, and repeatability.
Designers should evaluate pressure drop, airflow rate, blower capacity, inlet temperature, voltage availability, and whether thermocouples or monitoring components are needed for closed-loop control.
Ideal applications include curing, drying, adhesive activation, heat shrinking, air knives, air scrubbing, sterilization, large-scale forming, semiconductor processing, and OEM integration requiring high airflow and consistent temperatures.
Longer bodies support higher wattages:
• 5" length: 1,000–4,250 W
• 9" length: 4,500–8,500 W
• 13" length: 9,000–12,500 W
Longer bodies also increase heat-transfer area, improving thermal uniformity at high flow rates.
The Heat Torch 200 is designed for maximum airflow and high-capacity heating, handling 9.6–100 SCFM and wattages up to 12,500 W—far exceeding the capabilities of the 030, 050, 075, and 150 models.
