OMEGA Engineering, Inc. Low Flow Air Process Liquid Circulation AHPF

The AHPF series heaters are used to heat low flows of air, gas, water, or aqueous solutions. Applications include those where clean air is necessary, as in laboratories and environmental testing areas. The stream of air is heated by passing over an enclosed heated surface rather than directly over resistance elements. This method assures that no foreign matter will enter the stream of flow. The AHPF series is also used as a miniature circulation heater for small volume of liquids as in photographic developer solution, chemicals, dyes, and inks. Calculate the flow rate, temperature rise, or power requirement as described on page J-17. For heating liquids, use the formulas on pages Z-10 or Z-41. The Thermocouple “T” fitting AHPF-NPT12 can be used with the subminiature thermocouple probes and with the SSLK series stainless steel compression fittings (see the OMEGA Complete Temperature Measurement Handbook and Encyclopedia®) and with stainless steel compression fittings (model SSLK-18-14) to monitor or control temperature at the outlet of the AHPF series heaters.
