What aspects need attention in the air velocity control of duct heaters?

  1. I. Variable Frequency Drive Speed Control Solution

    1. Applicable scenarios: Environments requiring precise temperature control (e.g., ±1℃) and continuously adjustable airspeed, such as industrial production assembly lines and thermal air supply for precision equipment.

    2. Operation logic: Adjust the fan power supply frequency (5-50Hz) via the frequency converter. Higher frequency results in faster wind speed, with real-time fine-tuning of the frequency based on temperature sensor feedback.

    3. Core Advantages: High temperature control accuracy, low energy consumption, smooth fan operation, and reduced mechanical wear.

II. Multi-speed Fan Control Solution

1. Applicable scenarios: Situations where wind speed adjustment is not highly required, only needing fixed wind speed switching, such as small workshop heating and general ventilation heating.

2. Operation Logic: The fan is equipped with three internal windings for high, medium, and low speeds, which can be switched via relays or switches to correspond to fixed wind speed parameters.

3. Core Advantages: Simple structure, low cost, easy maintenance, and no need for complex debugging.

  1. III. Temperature-Controlled Linked Automatic Speed Regulation Solution

    1. Applicable Scenarios: Situations requiring unattended, constant-temperature operation, such as warehouse constant-temperature heating and equipment insulation systems.

    2. Operating logic: The thermostat sets the target temperature, while the temperature sensor continuously monitors the air duct outlet temperature. When the temperature is high, the fan speed is automatically increased (for faster cooling), and when the temperature is low, the fan speed is reduced (to concentrate heat and raise the temperature).

    3. Core Advantages: No manual intervention required, strong temperature stability, preventing overheating or insufficient temperature.

  1. IV. Considerations for Solution Selection

    1. Priority matching of fan types: Both centrifugal fans and axial fans support speed regulation, but an appropriate frequency converter model must be selected.

    2. Avoid excessively low wind speed: Slow wind speed may cause localized overheating of the heater, triggering protective mechanisms or damaging components.

    3. Energy efficiency first: For long-duration operation scenarios, prioritize frequency converter speed regulation, which is more power-saving than step control.
