Introduction
A Duct Heater is a self contained heater designed to be installed in the field in an air stream of a duct system,
external to the air moving unit. It is designed to be installed in a duct where an adequate flow of air from a
separate, interlocked fan or blower system is insured. Such a heater may be located in a main supply duct of
a warm air heating system, in one of the branch ducts, or used as a room heater, at the end of a branch duct.

diversity makes HACE duct heaters the most flexible type of heating system. all HACE units have individually
designed ranges and are custom built form 500 watts to 1.000.000 watts and fit 4”x10” up to 80”x20”ducts. HACE
duct heaters are approved for zero clearance to combustible surfaces and meet U.L. and national electrical code
specifications. HACE duct heaters are easily installed in both existing and new system. electric duct heaters coils
fit most spaces designed for other heating coils with no redesign of existing equipment. Available in flanged and
insert models. HACE duct heaters are designed for many applications: Prime heating, air handling equipment,
heat pump and zoned application, as well as auxiliary heat, and unattended building.

HACE have one standard series of «HF» duct heaters and another optional series «CHMS» to accommodate all
applications.

Insert Type Heaters


Insert heaters are the most generally used type because of the ease of installation in the duct system. The heating
element enclosure is inserted in the air stream through an opening cut in the side of the duct, and is secured by
means of screws applied from within the terminal box. The terminal compartment extends beyond the element
enclosure at least 1/2 inch on all sides so that it will cover the rough opening in the duct. When additional space
is required for built-in components the terminal box is extended on the air inlet side as standard, or leaving air
side either up or down if specified. The “A” dimension can be extended as an overhang when specified.

Figure 1: Insert Type Heater Figure 2: Insert Type Heater Installation

Note: oh can apply to overhang on either side of heater

Flanged Type Heaters


Flanged type heaters are custom designed to be installed as an integral part of the duct system. The inside of
the flanged frame is the same dimensions as the air duct, allowing for mating with, andsecuring to the duct
flanges. A one inch flange issupplied as standard, unless otherwise specified. The flanged element enclosure
and the terminal compartment are flush on the air outlet side. When «M» dimension exceeds «B» dimension,
the overhang will be on the air inlet side, as standard, or leaving air side either up or down if specified. The «A»
dimension can be extended as an overhang to provide space for components when specified.

Internally Insulated Duct Applications


Internally Insulated Ducts can affect the operation of insert and flanged duct heaters and therefore, must be
specified so that the following design factors can be employed which will allow the air stream to pass over the
limit controls and all elements

Figure 5

Insert Type
The element enclosure is reduced in size enough to allow the entire face of the control box to be recessed into
the duct to the depth of the insulation. An angle is installed on all four sides of the terminal compartment to seal
the opening and provide a

Figure 6
Flanged Type
A deeper flange is required so that the inside of the flanged housing is flush with the surface of the insulation
and the face of the terminal compartment is recessed to the depth of the insulation.

Bottom Terminal Box Heaters


HACE Heaters are specially designed to accommodate installations where side mounting is not possible. Since
the resistance element wire must be strung horizontally the safety controls are located in the side terminal
compartment. Other controls except mercury contactors and fusing are located in bottom control box. Heaters
limited to 60 KW max. Remote fusing required for all heaters over 48 Amps.

Figure 7: Bottom Terminal Box

Dust Proof Terminal Box Cover


HACE Heaters are available with a dust tight control box cover where dirt problems could affect the life expectancy
of the controls.

Multiple Heaters In A Single Duct


HACE Duct Heaters are designed as single units in all applications except where height dimension exceed 80”.
Heaters above 80” will be furnished in two or more flanged sections for stacking one on top of the other, for
simplifying shipping and field installation. A special foot design is furnished with these flange units for easy
mounting when stacked.

Figure 8: Multiple Heaters In A Single Duct

Automatic resetting temperature limits are furnished in each heater section, with provisions for wiring them in
series in the field. Built-in accessories, such as contactors, and fusing, are also available. Separate power lines are
required for each section. When preferred, heaters with a long «W» dimension can be divided into two separate
units and one installed from each side of the duct.

Dimensional Data
The HF series terminal compartment depth «E» is normally 4 1/2», however it may be increased when necessary.
The «H» and «W» dimensions are the actual duct height and width. «C» and «M» dimensions depend on several
factors and must be calculated by the factory engineering department, however where conditions limit the size
this must be specified.
The HF series compartment has a solid cover that is hinged on the top or otherwise, also a latch is provided. A
support bridge is installed on the bottom of the element enclosure on all heaters when «W» dimension exceeds
four (4) feet.

Corrosion Protection
HACE Duct Heaters are constructed of the highest grade galvanized steel (standard), aluminized (optional). All
other metal components are either zinc plated or constructed of stainless steel. This type of protection gives
longer life and prevents damage by moisture from cooling systems.

Insulation
Each heater can be manufactured with a 1/2” fiberglass board insulation between the control box and the
duct area. This type of insulation gives maximum protection against moisture condensation as well as thermal
insulation. In installations where noise is a factor, such as high rise apartments, this type of insulation absorbs
part of the air movement sound.

GENERAL CONSTRUCTION

Heating Element
Open Coil Type The open coil element offers many advantages over the sheath type. One of the greatest assets
is its longer life. The open coil releases its heat directly into the air stream, transferring its energy faster, and
therefore operating at a cooler temperature. The sheath type element must release its energy through insulation
and the metal outside sheath. Due to this slower transfer, life expectancy is reduced and service requirements
increased. In some cases, the insulation may contain voids, in which case, the conduction is reduced creating
possible burn-outs. The open coil gives greater adaptability in design and lower pressure drop across the unit.
This feature can help the systems designer maintain a lower static pressure, and thereby reduce the air handling
power requirements, design and system costs.
The low mass coil releases heat immediately after being energized and cools quickly after being deenergized.
The low thermal inertia results in more precise temperature control.

Element Construction
HACE Duct Heater elements are constructed of Nickel (80%) Chromium (20%) alloy high grade resistance wire.
Each element is coiled to the customer’s wattage specification in our plant, assuring high quality elements with a
closely controlled resistance. Each element is checked when produced, and again upon installation in the heater.
“HF” heating element coils are designed for low watt density loading of the surface area of the wire (40 to 55
watts per inch). A heavier than normal gauge wire is used, giving a longer coil to maintain required resistance for
a given wattage. This results in lower coil operating temperature which eliminates glow under standard operating
conditions because of the greatly increased surface area and also gives a sturdier element for longer life.

Modular Frame And Channel Rack


The HF series heaters are furnished with galvanized steel (zinc coated steel) modular frame, aluminized steel as
optional. This design has made it possible for easier servicing in the field should this be necessary. The new HF
channel rack has been designed to give added rigidity and also improved heat dissipation due to staggering of
the rows of heating elements.

Element Termination
The coil is mechanically connected to the high temperature No. 10 stainless steel terminal screw by means of a
loop of element wire being sandwiched between two stainless steel washers. Since a large area of element wire
is used in making the connection, burn-outs due to nicked wire at the connection are minimized. The terminal is
insulated by a two piece mating male and female ceramic bushing.

Insulating Bushings
The high temperature special ceramic bushings, which insulate the coils from supporting metal, float freely in
specially designed element racks. The floating ceramics will not crack or bind due to heating and cooling of the
element.

Steel Welded Safety Screen


When the requirements for additional safety from possible contact to the heating elements of a duct heater,
either from entering air or leaving air side, a screening material is available factory installed.

Application Requirements
1. The duct system must provide uniform air flow over the entire face area of the heating elements.
2. For satisfactory and safe operation the minimum air velocity must be maintained as determined from table.
3. The air duct should be installed in accordance with the standards of the National Fire Protection Association
for the installation of air-conditioning and ventilating systems of other than reside cetype (NFPA 90A) and
residence-type warm air heating and air-conditioning systems (NFPA 90B).
4. The heater should be installed at least 48 in. from the duct flanges of a heat pump or central air conditioner.

GENERAL DESIGN INFORMATION

Temperature Rise
The air temperature rise through the heater is a factor of great importance. The chart should be consulted for
the temperature rise expected to result from the air flow and watt density used.
THE TEMPERATURE RISE CHART aids in calculating requirements or results from the known factors of FPM,
CFM, Temperature Rise, Total KW, or KW per square foot. If two related factors are known, the others can be
determined.

Notes:
A. For values above or below those on the scale, multiply or divide the known factors by aconvenient number. Make the necessary calculations
on the chart, then multiply or divide the answer by the original number for the actual value.
B. If any two factors are known the third may be calculated in a similar manner.

Examples
A. Air (Cfm)-(Kw) Total Heat Required
To find the total heat required at a given temperature rise and CFM, use the top and right scales.
The heat required to achieve a 40°F temperature rise in a duct handling 12,000 CFM.
1. Draw a line vertically down from the 12,000 CFM on the top scale to the 40°F temperature rise line.
2. From the point of intersection draw a horizontal line to the right side scale. Given total heatrequired 150 kW.

B. Velocity (Fpm)-Watt Density (Kw / Ft²)


To find the watt density (kW per sq. ft.) at a given temperature rise and FPM of air, use bottom and left scales.
To find the heat input in a duct handling 700 FPM of air, with a temperature riseof60°F.
1. Draw a line vertically up from the 700 FPM on the bottom scale to the 60°F temperature rise line.
2. From the point of intersection draw a horizontal line to the left side scale giving 13.5 kW per sq. ft. of duct area.

Minimum Velocity Requirements


Electric duct heaters are different from steam or hot water coils, in that the BTU output remains constant as
long as the heater is energized. To eliminate overheating and burn out due to low air velocity, an automatic re-
set temperature limiting control is built into each heater. The minimum velocity required to prevent nuisance
tripping of the temperature limiting control is determined from the air velocity chart (Fig. 2 on the basis of
entering air temperature, and watts per square foot of cross sectional duct area.

H A C E p a g e 9
INSTALLation insturction

CAUTION! Do not operate without proper air flow.


For efficient and trouble free operation it is important that air flow be adequate over the complete heating area
and particularly at element terminals. No electric duct heater should ever be operated with insufficient air flow
because overheating and subsequent malfunction may result. The minimum air velocity required at any point
should be determined from the graph following.

Note:
*20 kW / sq. ft. is maximum wattage permissible
*Formula: H X W divided by 144 = sq. ft. / area
*kW divided by area = kW/sq. ft. duct area (density)
*H = Element Frame Height W = Element Frame Width

Available Watt Density


“HF” series Duct Heaters are built to the wattage and dimensions as specified by the customer.
The “HF” series heaters are available to 1000 kW in all wattages up to 20 kW per square foot of cross sectional
duct area and are suitable for installation with zero clearance to combustible surfaces and up to 100 degrees
Fahrenheit inlet temperature. These heaters are available through 20 feet in width.

Installation Recommendations
1. The heater must be installed to assure equal air flow through the entire face area of the heater. Refer to NEC
par. 424-59.

Figure 11 Figure 12

Electrical Wiring Instructions

WARNING! DISCONNECT ALL POWER SOURCES BEFORE DOING ANY WORK ON THE HEATER INSTALLATION.

1. Use the wiring diagram supplied with the heater as a guide in correlating field wiring with the heater internal
wiring. If there is more than one heating step, wire the unit so the steps are energized in the same sequence
as numbered in the heater.
2. All field wirings to the heater must meet the requirements of the NEC and applicable local codes.
3. Wiring to the heater must be rated for 75°C minimum.
4. Supply conductors must be sized to carry at least 125% of the ampere load of the circuit it supplies.
5. For low voltage control circuits, use NEC Class 1 wiring as described in Article 725 of the National Electrical
Code.
6. The fan must be interlocked with the heater so that the heater is not energized unless the fan is on. A typical
method of accomplishing this is shown on the wiring diagram, if it is not built in.
7. If contactors are field supplied, they must have adequate ratings for the load carried and be UL listed for 100,000
cycles of operation. Do not exceed the control circuit volt-ampere rating marked at the control terminal block.
8. If heater does not have a built-in disconnect switch or main circuit breaker, install a remote disconnect
(furnished by others) in accordance with the National Electrical Code, Article 424-65.
9. Do not bundle, tie or wrap power wiring in groups as this may cause over-heating and eventual breakdown of
insulation.
10. For low voltage control circuits using two supply transformers with a heating-cooling thermostat, one for
heating and one for cooling, a thermostat with isolating contacts must be used to prevent interconnection of
the two different circuits.

CAUTION! For successful service using aluminum wiring, special treatment of all connections is an absolute
necessity in order to prevent high resistance and oxidation problems. For recommended practice, check with
your local electrical utility.

Overcurrent Protection
UL requires compliance with paragraph 424-22 (b) of the National Electrical Code as follows: “Electric space
heating equipment employing resistance type heating elements rated more than 48 amperes shall have the
heating elements subdivided. Each subdivided load shall not exceed 48 amperes and shall be protected at not
more than 60 amperes.” This means that sub-circuit over-current protection must be provided if the total heater
load exceeds 48 amperes. If over-current protection is not built-in, all heaters exceeding 48 amperes total line
current are divided into a sufficient number of sub-circuits, each provided with line terminals for connection to
remote over-current protection

Calculation Of Line Currents (AMPS)


To determine the line current, use the following formulae:

WATTS
SINGLE PHASE CURRENT (AMPS) = -------------------
VOLTS
Example: Single phase 5 KW, 208 Volts
5000 WATTS
------------------ = 24 AMPS
208 VOLTS
WATTS
THREE PHASE CURRENT (AMPS) = ---------------------
VOLTS x 1.73
Example: Three phase 14.4 KW, 208 Volts
14400 WATTS
------------------------------ = 40 AMPS
208 VOLTS x 1.73

Electrical Design
The requirements and practices described below are based on the National Electrical Code and the Space
Heating Standard of the Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL). Although UL requirements are uniform throughout
the country, local electrical codes may deviate from the National Electrical Code, therefore local inspection
authorities should be consulted regarding local requirements. After final assembly and before shipping each
“HF” duct heater must pass a 2000 volt minimum dielectric test

ELECTRICAL DESIGN

POWER WIRE SIZING:

If a long run of wire is required or more than three wires are run in a conduit the allowable capacity on a given
wire size must be reduced as per NEC requirements (see note 13 to NEC Table 310-16 and 310-18).

HEATER POWER CIRCUITRY

See wiring diagrams for details of the various wiring systems mentioned below.
All stages of a heater are of equal kW unless specified otherwise.

1. Single phase power circuits: Each circuit consists of a heating coil (or coils connected parallel) which cannot
exceed 48 amps for over-current protection.
A single stage heater may be controlled directly by a line voltage thermostat without using a controlling contactor
if the heater rating is within the rating of the thermostat, the over-temperature protection controls of the fan
interlock.
Larger loads are controlled by contactors, SCR controllers or load carrying step controllers.

2. Balanced Three Phase Power Circuits: Each circuit cannot exceed 48 amps for over-current protection and
consists of three (or a multiple of three) heating coils factory connected in delta or Wye system at the factory›s
option. The load will be balanced (equal) among the three phases and the entire circuit is controlled as a unit
and operates identically whether the power source is three or four wire. Therefore a neutral terminal is not
furnished on balanced circuits.
Each circuit is normally controlled by a contactor which in turn is controlled by a thermostat or step controller
in the control circuit.
