Summary of Contents for Tutco SureHeat Jet

  • Page 1 Jet Air Heater FOR SAFETY AND LONG HEATER LIFE, CAREFULLY READ THIS MANUAL BEFORE USE.
  • Page 2: Specifications

    THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING THE JET AIR HEATER TUTCO JET AIR HEATER The Jet provides a compact, efficient heater for heating air or inert gases to 1400°F (760°C) in either a 3kW or 8kW, 240V 1PH unit. Two (2) type “K” thermocouples with a convenient terminal block are included for ease of wiring.
  • Page 3: Electrical Shock Hazard

    WARNINGS! TUTCO SureHeat Process Air Heaters contain high watt-density elements and must be controlled carefully to prevent element failure. IMPORTANT: Be sure to read and understand this operating manual before turning the system ON. Follow all checklists shown in the manual. Failure to do so can cause a heater failure and may void warranty.
  • Page 4 Operate at safe voltages as shown on the Performance Curves (see page 12). Excess voltage will cause premature failure. (See Proper Temperature Controller Setup on Page 8 for details.) Using the Jet heater with the Jet Control Panel provides loss of airflow protection if wired properly.

  • Page 8 (0% output) before the contactor is engaged and immediately applying full power. 4 Use proper closed loop control (PID) settings. TUTCO SureHeat typically uses the following PID; Proportional (P), Integral (I) and Derivative (D); settings as a starting point for stable temperature control.

    “K “ THERMOCOUPLE WIRES must be Teflon Coated and Teflon Insulated, note RED is NEGATIVE ( - ). • S1 Type “K” Thermocouple Sensor on heater connects to INLET LIMIT controller. TUTCO SureHeat sets INLET TEMP LIMIT to 300°F (150°C). • S2 Type “K” Thermocouple Sensor on heater connects to EXIT TEMP controller.
