Open coil heaters are air heaters that expose the maximum heating element surface area directly to an airflow. The choice of alloy, dimensions, and wire gauge are strategically chosen to create a custom solution based on an application’s unique needs. Basic application criteria to consider include temperature, airflow, air pressure, environment, ramp speed, cycling frequency, physical space, available power, and heater life.
Tutco-Farnam is a leading manufacturer of open coil heaters, specializing in custom-engineered heating solutions to fit exacting requirements.

Engineering and Support is a big part of what we do, offered on an application by application basis. With our extensive heat application experience and over 2,000 heating element designs chances are we have done something similar to your application.
We designed a very open heater with little pressure drop to fit into a very small space. The sturdy construction helps it withstand the force of the airflow.
A very small precision heat torch used to make film cuvettes in real-time for blood storage and testing onboard the Instrument. Fits in a very small space (1" profile). Heats to 380°F in 3.5 seconds.
We developed a low mass open coil heater for installation in a tubular duct. The heater retrofit into existing products as well as new models. The heater's low mass and conical shape, provide the maximum heat profile.
Heater designed to retrofit into an existing line of medical equipment to solve the problem of heater failures in the original device.
A self-contained heat system integrating a blower, heater, and thermocouple inside an easy to clean insulated housing. Operates reliably day and night.
A customer that makes enrobing equipment for the confectionery industry was seeking a better solution for heating and melting chocolate...
We designed a heater to fit in a small space and operate safely in a hospital operating room, with oxygen nearby and patient connected to other machines.
Provides internal temperature regulation for the CT Scanner resulting in improved image resolution.
Our rugged, efficient, open coil Duct Heaters offer you the capability to heat large volumes of air with fast warm-ups and cool-downs.
A system that provides uniform heat distribution, reliability, and low operational cost.
Farnam Heat Torch™ inline air heaters are ideal for rapidly heating air. Industrial strength open coil heaters provide efficient heat transfer through direct heating element contact with the airflow.
Our highly efficient Cool Touch™ option minimizes the skin temperature of the heater and helps protect people and products from hot surfaces. Efficient design reduces heat loss.
Developed for maximum design flexibility, Crossflow Blower Heaters (CB Series) utilize multi-purpose mounting brackets attaching directly to the exhaust of a crossflow blower.
A 1.5kW Cool Touch™ heater + digital controller + flow switch + solid-state relay packaged in a convenient wall-mountable steel enclosure.
A compact version of the TPC 1500. Includes a 1.5kW Cool Touch air heater, temperature control, flow switch, thermostat, and solid-state relay.
The client needed well-mixed air but had a temperature-sensitive material. Single stamped blower and heater mount saved the client money.
A 28" bar heater for a food service cooker. Custom heater replaces an existing inefficient tubular heater. The goal was to decrease heat up time while decreasing power consumption.
Tutco Farnam offers the very best in design and enginering of custom heaters and heating components. Our capabilities are ideally suited to meet demanding production schedules, and we are committed to keeping up with the constant changes occuring in manufacturing and product design.
