The Pressure Torch™ Heater by TUTCO Farnam was designed to bridge a gap between the process heat offerings at Farnam and those available at TUTCO SureHeat. Customers often needed something more powerful than the four psi handled by our Farnam Flow Torch™ heaters but didn’t require the intense 500 psi or 1400°F exhaust temperatures offered by TUTCO SureHeat products. That’s where the Pressure Torch™ comes in—a versatile solution offering up to 150 psi and exhaust temperatures below 932°F. Essentially an evolution of our Flow Torch™ line (think of it as a high-performance hairdryer in a stainless steel tube), the Pressure Torch™ builds on that design by housing the heater in a pressure vessel. This innovative heater comes in three sizes: 4-inch, 6-inch, and 8-inch diameters, with power outputs ranging from 10 kW to 75 kW, capable of handling airflows up to 2000 SCFM.
What sets the Pressure Torch™ apart is its efficiency and user-friendly design. The low-mass open coil design ensures rapid heat-up and cool-down, saving both energy and time, while the heater’s low-pressure drop means minimal obstruction to airflow, even at medium pressures. Flange fittings make installation simple, and the raised junction box enhances functionality by preventing leaks through the wiring and allowing for higher inlet temperatures. Every Pressure Torch™ comes equipped with two thermocouples—one for process monitoring and another for high-limit safety—ensuring reliable operation. To maximize safety and precision, we also offer custom-engineered control panels that integrate seamlessly with the heater for a fully tailored solution.
The Pressure Torch™ Heater is perfect for applications that require heating large airflows efficiently and reliably. Whether you’re operating at medium pressure or need a versatile heater with fast response times, this product delivers exceptional performance. If you’re looking for a heating solution designed to meet your unique needs, the Pressure Torch™ Heater offers the perfect balance of innovation, reliability, and ease of use.
