When we look at air heating applications, it's important to choose a heating system which works as efficiently as possible. Air heating as the target source is best done in confined areas so as the heated air isn't lost to the atmosphere.

What Do You Need?

Our customers can sometimes utilise small-insulated rooms or even insulated shipping containers for temporary or permanent heating jobs - the HOTCO 'Fan Forced Module' turns any sealed area into instant fan forced oven efficiency.

These innovative HOTCO products have made easy solutions available to what's normally a complex problem. Have to heat and circulate? This is the product you need...whether you're looking at a new installation or a power boost for an existing one, these Modules make the job happen fast!

Finned tubular heaters are most commonly used in air heating applications. The fins along the tubular length assist in even heat dissipation. All elements have mild steel fins copper brazed to the tubular element sheath unless otherwise specified

Finned Elements are available in STRAIGHT FORM - U FORMED and MULTIFORMED Designs

There are 3 types manufactured by HOTCO - Type AFH Type FG and Type FH.

Type AFH are a lower watts density element manufactured to Australian Standards generally used in air ducts with forced drafts - or industrial process heating applications requiring heated air blasts.

Type FG are elements designed for forced convection air heating. This element operates at a black heat in an application where air velocity is in excess of 3m/sec (600fpm).

Type FH series elements are low watts density suitable for applications such as air ducts with forced air drafts and other Industrial applications. Due to the low density, a tight construction can be achieved permitting large heater mass with lower power output.

DUCT AIR HEATING UNITS

Duct heater units consist of group of finned tubular elements fitted to a specified terminal box. The area with exposed group of elements will sit inside the duct chamber (mounted via the terminal box), the cold air passes over the finned elements heating the air. Ideally, for a duct heater unit to be affective - it is ideal to cover as much area with finned tubulars in order to ensure that at some point in passing the group of elements, a large majority of the air must come into contact with the heated fins. Depending on the duct size, we generally group 'U' or 'M' shaped elements together ensuring they reach to the edges of the duct. They are offset in many cases to enable air gaps to be filled. A range of our common designs are listed below, they are by no means a limit to our scope however. Please feel free to contact our sales staff for further information.
