EWS CO2 Welding Gas Pre Heater - 240v
Benefits
Available in 110 or 240v and have a flow rate of approximately 28 LPM (60 CFH) .
Compact robust casing ensures maximum service life and minimal maintenance.
Incorporated safety bursting disc in body which ruptures at 190 bar to safeguard the vaporiser from overpressure.
Thermostatically-controlled element protected by a heat fuse ensures that the heater provides gas on-demand and cuts out during the rest periods.
Neon indicator to show when element is heating.
CE approved
The Sirocco CO2 Welding Gas Pre Heater is designed to vaporise liquid carbon dioxide from syphon-type CO2 cylinders where a greater flow rate is required than is available from standard gas take-off cylinders. It heats the CO2 gas prior to entering the regulator to prevent damage to the regulator in high-flow applications.
The Sirocco screws directly onto the cylinder valve by means of a loose CO2 nut and sealing washer. The outlet is threaded CO2 male to accept a CO2 pressure regulator.
The body is forged from class A brass bar which ensures maximum strength, serviceability and safety. The housing is made of flame-retardant PC ensuring insulation.
A CO2 pre-heater is a device that warms the CO2 gas before it enters the regulator. This is important because when CO2 expands from a liquid to a gas, it absorbs a lot of heat, which can cause the regulator to freeze. This can damage the regulator and stop the gas from flowing properly.
You only need a CO2 pre-heater if you are using pure CO2 gas and welding at high flow rates. If you are using a CO2 mix or welding at low flow rates, then you probably don't need one.
Adds cost to your welding setup
Requires additional setup and maintenance
Can be bulky and inconvenient to use
Flow rate: Make sure the pre-heater can handle the flow rate of your welding application.
Voltage: Choose a pre-heater that is compatible with your local power supply.
Safety features: Look for a pre-heater with safety features such as a thermostat and pressure relief valve.
Size and portability: Consider how easy it will be to transport and use the pre-heater.
