Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nitrogen heater technology, specifically a flow-guided nitrogen heater. Background Technology

[0002] Nitrogen heaters are primarily used to heat airflow from its initial temperature to the desired temperature, up to 850°C. They are widely used in aerospace, weaponry, chemical industries, and universities, and are particularly suitable for testing automated temperature control, high-flow-rate, high-temperature combined systems and accessories. During the heating process, because nitrogen is transported through pipelines and heated by electric heaters, the heating speed is slow and uneven. If there is no nitrogen in the pipeline, the electric heater may heat an empty pipeline, potentially causing damage.

The heater includes a tank with four legs at the bottom; an upper opening at the center of the top and a lower opening at the center of the bottom, each with a plug; a nitrogen pipe inside the tank, comprising an inlet pipe, an outlet pipe, and three sets of auxiliary pipes; the inlet pipe extending from the top of the tank and the outlet pipe extending from the bottom; the three sets of auxiliary pipes arranged parallel and sequentially, each including a horizontally arranged upper and lower pipe, the upper pipe positioned above the lower pipe, with parallel and spaced vertical pipes between the upper and lower pipes; an electric heater inside the tank, and heat-conducting oil inside the tank. This invention is easy to manufacture and reliable in operation.
