Inline Duct Heater

Inline duct heaters are an important part of many heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. They are made to add extra heat and make sure that the temperature stays the same throughout a network of air ducts.

They are put directly in the ductwork, which is why they are called “inline.” They are especially useful in large commercial or industrial spaces where heat needs to be spread evenly or in homes that need more heat.

They come in many different types and heater assemblies that are made for different uses.

Variants include:

Each is best for different situations, depending on factors such as air quality, the amount of moisture in the air, air flow, the specific heating requirements and even the current air conditioning equipment.

Electric Duct Heaters: Enhancing Temperature Controls in Heavy Duty Environments

In industrial and business settings, electric duct heaters are a key part of temperature control. In addition to warmth, they make sure that the heat is spread evenly across large areas. Electric inline air heaters fit right into the HVAC ducts and provide targeted heating, which is important for different temperature needs.

Versatility and Durability

These heaters are designed to work in wet, dirty, and corrosive areas. They come in different shapes and sizes. They are made of heavy duty materials like stainless steel and galvanized steel and have safety features like thermal holes and thermostats to prevent overheating. Some have substantial heat power, exceeding a hundred kilowatts.

Custom Configurations

Available with thermostatically controlled options and 1-3 kW outputs that are designed to meet vast use cases. Custom duct heaters, including round duct heaters, are designed for installation and adapt to different applications. There are also tubular heating elements available that optimize heat transfer and airflow.

Custom Solutions and Streamlined Heating

Specialized options, such as open coil and supplemental duct-mounted heaters, eliminate the need for complex modifications. We partner with several manufacturers that can provide a custom built and versatile product, from inline units to forced air systems. Integration is easy with components like contactors and fuses.

Efficient Heating for Various Applications

Strategic placement of heat pumps ensure effective heat dispersion in duct systems. Custom-built configurations suit specific requirements, including return air and space heating.
