Electric duct heaters - railway

The electric heaters, produced by Reart, formed by several heating elements connected to each other and mounted on a single structure/frame, are designed and conceived to be used in the heating process of air flows or inert gases.
Construction materials:

  • GaL.V.D.anized iron or stainless steel frame
  • Aisi 321 stainless steel heating element
  • Aisi 304 stainless steel heat exchange fin
  • Ceramic or Porcelain insulators
     Electric Duct Heaters are used for different types of applications:
  • Air handling unit (AHU)
  • HVAC air conditioning systems
  • Coating plants (ovens)
  • Load cells for power dissipation
  • Silos and Autoclaves heating
  • Drying plants, fume reduction plants, air drying plants;
  • Heating of railway cabins

The heating elements are of the ‘finned heaters’ type, to facilitate the heat exchange between the heater and the gas to be heated. See the section “Finned heaters” for the type of elements applied. For applications with high operating temperatures on the process, smooth elements are used to form the heating assembly of the electric coil.

They are sized by the technical office, with the help of software for thermodynamic sizing, thanks to which it is possible to obtain the real operating conditions, based on the needs and specifications of the customer to create air flows at a controlled temperature. Thanks to the use of this software for the sizing of Electric Duct Heaters, it is possible to define the main parameters including:

  • Electric power needed
  • Process side pressure drops
  • Surface load or specific power
  • Maximum surface temperature of the heating element
  • fluid flow rate inside the coil passage section
  • Electric coil dimensions
  • Building materials
  • Battery condition during normal expected operating conditions

Electric coils, designed to be inserted in conduits with a square or rectangular section, in tubes or in packs for ovens, are in direct contact with the process gas to be heated.

All the Electric Duct Heaters supplied can be supplied with various safety systems (thermal sensors such as thermostats, thermocouples or temperature probes) to limit high temperatures, in case of anomalous operation of the system on the process or on the electric heating beam.      

Together with the frame, the connection hoods between the passage section of the coil and the process section of the customer plant can be supplied. 

The Electric Duct Heaters can be supplied on Skid and with relative electric command and control panel.

Special executions are also provided on request and customer specifications.
