ATEX Duct Heaters for Air Handling Units and Duct Systems

An increasing variety of buildings and industries employ VEAB duct heaters for the primary heating of fresh air supply in HVAC systems, for supplementary heating to individual zones and rooms, and for heating air supplies in industrial processes.
They can be supplied with thermostats and temperature controls as well as “run on timers” for fan control.

VEAB – Rectangular Duct Heaters

Rectangular duct heaters are available in ratings up to 2000 kW and are used for heating the supply air in duct systems, central ventilation units and for industrial processes. If correctly rated, rectangular duct heaters can provide heating for entire houses and buildings. Our flexible production system enables us to adapt the duct heaters accurately to the application. This may be heaters for air handling units, industrial processes or very arduous environments. This may involve the need for strengthened electrical insulation, the use of stainless steel, high power ratings, high operating temperatures or the like.

VEAB – Circular Duct Heaters

Circular electric duct heaters are used for heating the ventilation air supplied to rooms and zones with individually controlled temperatures. In correctly designed systems, they can also heat the entire building. Circular electric duct heaters are also used for reheating the supply air in ventilation units with heat recovery. The duct heaters are available with built-in electronic regulator or for external control. All stocked heaters have an electronic flow monitor as standard.

Stainless Steel casings are available
All have both manual and automatic over temperature cut outs
Power kW = airflow rate m3/s x 1.2 x 1.02 x (TEMP RISE °C)

New Generation of VEAB Heater

February 2025

VEAB have launched a new generation of control boards, packed with possibilities for you.

With the new control board, you can now easily measure power consumption, optimize airflow, and reduce the CO2 emissions. All to bring your modern energy-efficient solution to life. These are available for circular and rectangular heaters.

The previously analogue circuit board has now gone digital.

ViCi is their state-of-the-art multifunctional control board, which was once a specialised solution, is now becoming the standard for everyone.

ViCi is designed to work with the most common sensors such as NTC, PT100 and PT1000, and can also utilise 0-10V, 2-10V, 4-20mA and Modbus. The heaters with electronic flow switch (Q), can now handle as low as 0.7m/sec.

Below are the new heater references paired to their old counterparts.

Previous Term	New Term
MQU, MQEM	ViCi-QO
MQXL	ViCi-QAL
MTU, MTEM	ViCi-O
MTXL	ViCi-AL
M (no controls)	remains

The casing material has been upgraded to Magnelis ZM310, now meeting corrosion class C5
