Recirculating Indirect Process Air Heater (IAH-R)

High Efficiency/ Recirculating Indirect Air Heater (IAH-R)

Request Quote

Recirculating indirect air heaters feature hot combustion air recirculation to provide clean (free from the by-products of combustion) hot air in thermal efficiencies up to 90%.

With high thermal efficiencies, Stelter & Brinck’s hot side recirculating process air heater provides lower fuel and operating costs than our non-recirculating units. Our recirculating indirect model is best suited for higher flow, higher temperature, long production hours or other applications where fuel efficiency is of primary concern. (Designs up to 1200°F process air outlet temperature are standard- call factory for higher temperature requests.)

Stelter & Brinck’s IAH-R-USDA unit has been certified as being USDA compliant equipment for the dairy industry.

USDA INDIRECT FIRED AIR HEATER (IAH-R-USDA)

After a thorough evaluation, The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Dairy Equipment Review Program certified S&B’s IAH-R-USDA as compliant in the USDA Dairy Grading Branch Survey Program (read more). Dairy drying plants which require USDA Dairy Grading certified equipment can now benefit from the clean, hot air provided by Stelter & Brinck’s USDA Indirect Air Heater.

The IAH-R-USDA takes advantage of recirculated hot side combustion air to provide high temperature capabilities and high thermal efficiencies to 90%. These indirect air heaters are completely packaged with hot side blowers, burner, gas valve train, heat exchanger and controls. Our USDA units are built to meet your construction standard requirements and arrive on-site prewired, and pre-piped.

  • Horizontal or vertical layouts available; designed to fit your plant’s layout and footprint needs.
  • UL508A enclosure
  • Low emissions options available.
  • S&B’s internal QC team test-fires and tunes before shipment.
  • On-site start-up and on-going maintenance available.
