Airtorch™ Applications

Airtorch™ System Introduction

Choose the right LTA or AT for your applications and experience greater flexibility with your operations.

(Choose the power required first, the power will determine the flow available at the intended temperature

Approximate quick back-of-the envelope calculation. First asses the power required, then employ the following design criteria ~ about 2.6 SCFM/kW.

Call MHI for confirmation as this is an approximate number only and should not be used for detailed design. MHI applications specialists will guide you through the process.

Example of Use to Augemt Existing Installations.

Example of a 4kW Airtorch™ augmentaion application. In this application, many complex shaped rods are to be heated uniformly. The heat-treater reported that the rods were not uniformly heated in his existing radiant heat furnace. MHI proposed a add-on to his existing furnace with a system of airtorches which then greatly impacted the uniformity and reduced the total energy consumed. More Green Installation and more Profits to the user. Impove oven performances and eliminate bad emissions.

See below for uniform surface heating retrofit example and continuous oven example



	Heating: Create a convective cavity around the assembly using two 4kW Airtorch™ units. Fixture Airtorches™ behind mold and electrodes at angles to create air movement. This should improve the overall heating of the mold. Insulation: The assembly is surrounded by refractory blankets (all 5 sides) to retain as much heat inside as possible. Blankets can be supplied by MHI at customer's request. Solution: By supplementing the existing electrodes with the Airtorch™ and blankets, the watt density is increased on the mold thus reducing the workload of the existing electrodes which should improve performance and life. Other results include an increase of uniformity across the mold surface. Call MHI for more information.

Airtorch™ Applications 2

Nozzle Heating	Gas Preheating
The glass industry uses the high temperature Airtorch™ to enable uniform flow and reflow of molten glass. The air temperature can be as high as 1200°C with a very low flow rate.	Airtorch™ can be used to rapidly heat various atmospheres: Air, Nitrogen, Argon, Helium, etc. Call MHI for more information.
Microprocessor Heating	Light Fiber Processing
Unique heating from 500°C to 1000°C. The Airtorch™ produces laser-like heat to small areas down to 5mm in diameter with stable and accurate control.	Uniformly free carbon from woven fibers with true convection. The Airtorch™ creates hot turbulent air that passes through the substrate for uniform and accurate heating. As carbon is released, the natural flow of clean hot air flushes the airborne carbon away from the part and up the chimney.
Effective Heat Treating	Preheating for Welding
Uniform rapid heating. The Airtorch™ offers uniform high temperature and heat transfer to rapidly heat parts. Very effective for metals when increasing hardness.	With high accuracy and temperatures, the Airtorch™ reduces the guess work out of preheating for welding applications. Offers accurate temperature read-out.
Spot Decarborinzing (reducing hardness)	Ultimate Utility
Over carbonizing causes hardness above most machining capabilities. The Airtorch™ offers locatable, accurate rapid heat-up and cool down to efficiency diffuse carbon allowing tempering of the metal.	Develop your own application. The Airtorch™ is capable of many applications where accuracy, uniformity, power and high temperatures are required. Also benefit from whisper-like operations, energy efficiency, and ease of use.

Special Convective Ovens are also available.
Ideal for moving parts(debind, degrease, remove paint, etc.)
