Duct Heater Applications
Air duct heaters are commonly found in industrial settings due to their versatility and affordability. They are primarily used for ventilation and comfort-heating applications, with specific uses including:
- Primary space heating
- Secondary space heating
- Auxiliary heating
- Reheating
- Multi-zone heating
- Air volume heating
Types of Duct Heaters
With numerous industrial applications for duct heaters, manufacturers have developed an assortment of systems to meet various needs. Murphy & Miller can help you select the ideal duct heaters for your building. Some of the most popular options include:
- Open coil duct heaters: Fast heat up times, inexpensive replacement parts, and low maintenance requirements make open coil duct heaters among the most efficient and economically feasible units for most heating applications.
- Tubular duct heaters: Capable of reaching very high temperatures, tubular heaters perform efficiently in heavy-duty industrial applications. They protect against electrical shock and have increased corrosion resistance for use in high-humidity environments.
- Finned tubular duct heaters: This describes a heater with fins around its tubular elements. The fins maximize the surface area of each heating element, which helps to dissipate heat more quickly—and prolongs the element’s lifespan.
- Explosion-proof duct heaters: This type of specialty duct heater is designed for hazardous areas, including aircraft hangars, oil drilling rigs, and flammable product storage rooms. An explosion-resistant cast aluminum enclosure protects the hardware inside and each unit is sized to fit the duct in which it’s installed.
