High Pressure Heater

Scenario: Customer is a testing facility for different industries. They required a piece of equipment that could test multiple round parts of varying diameters with 250-1000scfm of air volume at 1000-2500 degrees Fahrenheit and at 0-8 psig.

Solution: WCC designed and manufactured a custom direct fired air heater that utilizes a positive displacement blower for air supply. The blower is controlled by a VFD that allows them to provide a specific air volume while the supply pressure is dictated by the size of the part being tested. The heater is supplied with a constant flow and simply modulates its fuel control valve in order to obtain the desired air temperature. The customer has since tested aerospace parts for R&D purposes for their customers.
