Heatgun.com is home to a large collection of hot air heating tools which benefit from temperature control. No matter the object you’re working on, the necessary temperature, or your working environment, we have an air heater that matches your application’s needs.

Meeting your needs in durable, effective, and quality air heaters is demonstrated by our Leister LHS range. The LHS 15 air heater might only come in a tiny package, but it is capable of delivering temperatures up to 1202°F. Built to last with high-quality components, the LHS 15 is used across a variety of industries. Do you require a tool with an even greater output temperature? The LHS 91 tool is built for the most demanding situations, where its high performance means many gas-fired heaters can be replaced.

Another popular option is found in the form of our LE range. Compact yet capable of delivering high outlet air temperature, these hot air heaters are one of the best choices when you need to produce heat that is both targeted and controlled. With different LE 5000 and 10000 variations, there’s one that is likely to match the temperature levels demanded by your application.

As these air heaters don’t integrate power electronics, they need to be paired with the right controllers and power. Don’t worry – at Heatgun.com, we also stock a selection of controls and interfaces to manage air flow, temperature, and power with ease. Our Leister CSS temperature controller allows you to change the temperature precisely, for example, while the Solid State Relay (SSR) provides robust power control for your air heater.

The benefits of air heaters by Leister are limitless. Here is how we’d categorize the first top five air heater benefits, which include the following:

1. Targeted heat: only heat the space you want.
2. Controlled temperature: you can choose the exact temperature of the heat.
3. Environmentally friendly heating solutions: the environment won’t be damaged.
4. Integrated project solutions: you can easily use air heaters in your projects as needed.
5. Cost-effective: the cost of an air heater and the power to use it is budget-friendly.

Hot air heaters are used for a large assortment of applications. With hot air temperature, it is possible to solder, shrink, melt, bake, cut, dry, cure, and much more. As a result, these tools are used across many different industries, making them an ideal solution for both commercial and industrial projects.

Whether you are using it as an isolated solution or one that is part of a closed loop system, Leister air heaters are easy to use. Once configured correctly, there’s not much difference between using air heaters and space heaters. It is simply a case of adjusting the temperature to the desired heat level, directing the air at the object that requires heating, and switching the heater on. Then you just have to ensure the temperature is right – or if it needs changing for greater results.

Certain heat tools, such as heat guns, are integrated with temperature controls. However, hot air heaters might not have these controls built in from the start. Due to this, you will have to incorporate your own temperature controls. As for how these controls work, they are kept nice and simple. They will typically have two buttons that allow you to adjust the temperature up or down. This means you are able to change the heat levels efficiently and effectively you want to produce.

When you need a heating solution, you often have one of two goals. You either need the air surrounding your project or material to be heated or you need a targeted heating solution.

A hot air blower blows targeted and heated air. Hot air blowers range in size but are relatively simple in design.

Air heaters, on the other hand, use centrifugal force creating heat to warm the environment to a certain temperature. Air heaters don’t have an air supply; they have a heating component. This means they are slower to heat an environment than a hot air blower.

When you’re ready to buy an air heater, there are four main considerations:

1. Required Temperature: What maximum temperature do you need? Air heaters have a maximum reachable temperature, but they may not be able to sustain its absolute maximum at all flow rates. Consider choosing a heater that can go above your required temperature to ensure consistent heat.
2. Size, Shape, and Type of Object to be Heated: The type and amount of material you need heated should also be a consideration. Think of the beginning and ending temperature, the heating duration, and the heating requirements for each project and material.
3. Working Environment: The volume of air in a chamber, losses in the environment, and even the material in the chamber are considerations in which air heater you choose.
4. Voltage and AMPS: Ensure you have access to your air heater’s voltage and amperage needs.
