Ransburg Air Heater Assy. A11065-05 - Manual (Page 9)

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
In automated finishing applications, the expansion
of pressurized air causes cooling which may result
in condensation on surfaces of electrostatic ap-
plicators. The Ransburg Air Heater Assembly is
designed to reduce or eliminate condensation that
may form in or on the Ransburg TurboDisk and
Rotary Atomizers, or other pressurized applicators
under certain operating conditions.
Ambient temperature and relative humidity in most
installations is hard to maintain. The Air Heater
Assembly is designed to maintain the temperature
of your operating air supply to ensure no moisture
or condensation will occur on/in the applicator or
its feed or exhaust lines. This helps reduce high
voltage faults and rejected parts due to excess
moisture issues.
FEATURES AND
BENEFITS
• Heats up quickly and accurately - Allows
system users to ramp up production in a mini-
mum of time.
• Self contained - Small, compact cabinet fea-
tures plug'n play components making it easy
to fit into existing systems or add into planned
system designs.
• Cabinet is "touch-safe" - Exterior of the
heater is cool to the touch.
• Precision control - Provides users with ac-
curate temperature feedback via audible and
visual displays and alarms.
• Heats drive-air to optimum temperature
INTRODUCTION
- Heats as required to keep rotator housing
warm enough to prevent condensation by
maintaining exhaust temperatures above the
dew point.
• The actual heater process setting depends on
applicator fluid flow rate, booth conditions, air
flow, inlet and ambient air temperatures. The
heater should be set as low as possible, sufficient
to maintain the applicator surface temperatures
above the dewpoint of the booth environment.
