NH-4 Fluid Heaters Personal Safety To prevent injury follow these instructions. Do not operate or service equipment unless you are qualified. Do not operate equipment unless safety guards, doors, or covers are intact and automatic interlocks are operating properly. Do not bypass or disarm any safety devices.
NH-4 Fluid Heaters The National Spray Equipment Manufacturers Association has created a wallet card that you should carry when you are operating high-pressure spray equipment. These cards are supplied with your equipment. The following is the text of this card: WARNING: Any injury caused by high pressure liquid can be serious.
Clean, maintain, test, and repair equipment according to the instructions in your equipment documentation. Use only replacement parts that are designed for use with original equipment. Contact your Nordson representative for parts information and advice. Halogenated Hydrocarbon Solvent Hazards Do not use halogenated hydrocarbon solvents in a pressurized system that contains aluminum components.
2. Fluid outlet 4. Fluid inlet 6. Electrical enclosure See Figure 1. The standard NH-4 heater is available in both aluminum and stainless steel versions. Refer to the Parts section for a complete listing of available heaters. The heater can be wall or dolly mounted. The heater consists of an electrical enclosure (6) and a fluid section.
This manual covers different types of NH-4 heaters. When procedures or data differs, the following codes will be used: [EXT ADJ]—This code is used for NH-4 heaters that have an external adjustable thermostat control. [INT ADJ]—This code is used for NH-4 heaters that have an internal adjustable thermostat control.
See Figure 3. Mount the NH-4 heater in a vertical position on a wall or panel, allowing adequate surrounding space to perform periodic maintenance. Always locate the heater as close to the spray operation as possible.

THREE PHASE THREE PHASE L2 L1 Figure 4 NH-4 Heater Wiring Diagrams Fluid Lines and Fittings CAUTION: The heater inlet and outlet fittings use O-ring seals which form a leak-proof hydraulic seal if tightened properly. To prevent damage to the seals, do not over-tighten fittings.
NH-4 Fluid Heaters Multiple Heater Installations Configure multiple heater installations in a series or parallel. See Figure 5. Install the heaters in series for all general finishing applications, except for those with very viscous materials or extremely high flow rates, such as continuous coaters.
CAUTION: Use the stainless steel thermometer and fittings with the stainless steel NH-4 heater to prevent damage to the equipment. NOTE: If the thermometer is installed after the filter, use the hex nipple included with the heater installation to install the adapter to the filter.
NH-4 Fluid Heaters Filter Installation Most coating materials and compounds eventually leave residual deposits on the inside walls of the heater. These deposits may separate from the heater as small flakes or granules, which then pass through the system and cause nozzle or fluid tip plugging.
This section covers safety precautions, and single and multiple heater operation procedures for the NH-4 heater. When a procedure is only applicable to a particular model it is identified with a code. Refer to the Description section for an explanation of these codes.
Replace the hose with an insulated hose Relocate the hose or heater Install an additional NH-4 heater assembly Shutdown CAUTION: Always shut down the heater and continue to circulate coating material through the heater as it cools to avoid material curing inside the heater fluid passages.
NH-4 Fluid Heaters Daily Maintenance WARNING: Allow only qualified personnel to perform the following tasks. Follow the safety instructions in this document and all other related documentation. WARNING: Use appropriate respiratory and skin protection when using coating materials and solvents. Obtain and read the Material Data and Safety Sheets from the manufacturer before use, and follow manufacturer’s...
Follow the safety instructions in this document and all other related documentation. These troubleshooting procedures cover only the most common problems.

NH-4 Fluid Heaters Repair WARNING: Allow only qualified personnel to perform the following tasks. Follow the safety instructions in this document and all other related documentation. WARNING: Remove power, relieve fluid and air pressure, and allow the heater to cool down before performing any repairs. Failure to observe this warning may cause serious injury to personnel and/or damage to equipment.
NH-4 Fluid Heaters Heat Limiter Replacement WARNING: Remove power, relieve fluid and air pressure, and allow heater to cool down before performing any maintenance. Failure to observe this warning may cause serious injury to personnel and/or damage to equipment. 1. Remove the thermostat. Refer to Thermostat Removal on page 17.
NH-4 Fluid Heaters Fluid Heating Reservoir Removal 1. Remove the thermostat. Refer to Thermostat Removal on page 17. 2. Remove the heat limiter. Refer to Heat Limiter Removal on page 19. 3. Remove the heater cartridge. Refer to Heater Cartridge Removal on page 19.
NH-4 Fluid Heaters High Pressure Housing Removal − Standard Heaters Only See Figure 9. 1. Remove the retaining ring (6) from the fluid passage body (2). 2. Place a wooden block on a hard surface. Grasping the reservoir assembly firmly, strike the top surface of the fluid passage body against the wood block until the lower O-ring (5) is exposed.
