Turbo Machinery

TUTCO SureHeat’s SFI High-Temperature Air Heaters play a critical role in research and innovation, particularly within Turbo Machinery applications. These heaters are used to simulate turbo fan engine conditions by providing heated air to test components, validate designs, and optimize new, more efficient design concepts. Their precise and reliable performance makes them invaluable for advancing technology and refining models in this field.

In the energy sector, TUTCO SureHeat SFI Heaters are often employed to support large turbo fan engines, which are a key source of electricity generation. By supplying high-temperature air, these heaters enhance combustion efficiency and contribute to significant emission reductions. Beyond energy production, heated air is instrumental in catalytic processes that minimize pollutants. Electrically heated catalysts are commonly used to remove pollutants from internal combustion engines. New and improved catalyst processes are being developed to support phased approaches to zero carbon emissions.

Electric air heaters are being used in several alternative fuel processes to support zero carbon initiatives. From supporting energy storage applications to electrolysis processes to create hydrogen fuel, high temperature heating applications are critical components in the research and development. High temperatures and high-pressure heaters like TUTCO SureHeat Specialty Flanged Inline Heaters can quickly reach the necessary temperatures at higher pressures to support efficient Solid Oxide Electrolyzer Cell processes.
