Open coil duct heat exchangers offer the most cost-effective solution and simple application. This heating system applies to more low kW applications and is more economical.
Finned tubular duct heat exchangers require a high kW output to reduce watt density. This type applies to outdoor and harsher environments. Finned tubular systems use stainless steel due to the material’s resistance to corrosion and moisture.
A duct heater serves as a primary or supplementary system, depending on your space, for your heating and cooling system. It can assist systems like water heaters, mini split systems, air source heat pumps (ASHP), and gas furnaces.
This type of heating system works as a forced air system and accelerates warm air through ductwork. Contact your local HVAC technician to see what heating application a duct heater serves your home or business.
In electricity, the phase refers to the power load distribution system. The difference in consistency of the power delivery sets them apart.
A 1-phase duct heater supplies power through a single conductor. Most residential homes and nonindustrial businesses use a duct heater with a 1-phase.
A 3-phase duct heater supplies power through three conductors. Commercial and industrial facilities typically use a 3-phase due to the duct heater’s ability to handle a higher load.
Open coil is. You use the control panel to heat an area at a specific point in time. This allows an efficient transfer of heated air without wasting energy.
UL stands for Underwriters Laboratories, a company specializing in product safety testing and certification.
A UL Listing means UL tested samples of a product and determined they meet specific safety requirements. The UL’s nationally recognized safety standards set the requirements that products should meet for a UL Listed label.
