What is the HTC Process Air Heater? The HTC process air heater is designed to control the temperature of dry air as it enters a material hopper. This process air heater can be set to increase, or “raise”, the temperature of air that was dehumidified at a central dryer or from a blower as part of hot air drying. The HTC includes a control center, heater box with electric heating elements, an airflow differential pressure switch, and an RTD temperature probe(s). The differential pressure switch

2 Description Typical Applications Carousel Plus “W” Dryer The HTC process air heater is designed for use with a dehumidifying device that supplies dry air, such as a central dehumidifying dryer in which the process heaters (if present) have been disabled, or with a stand alone blower for hot air drying. The HTC can be used successfully in applications that require: • Drying temperatures up to 350°F (176.7°C) (250°F [121.1°C] on HAD models). • The ability to dry multiple materials requiring diff

How it Works The HTC process air heater works a lot like the thermostat and heater in your house. The RTD probe measures the temperature of the air entering the hopper. If this air is not warm enough to properly dry the material in the hopper, the RTD sends a message to the temperature controller which tells the heater to begin heating. The heating elements inside the heater enclosure heat until the RTD probe senses that the air entering the hopper is at the setpoint entered by the user. The
