Overview
Aries Solvent Heaters safely heat thermally-sensitive fluids such as Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) and EKC photoresist remover. This heater is ideal for both single-pass and recirculating applications where process temperature, fluid cleanliness and safety are all critical. Furthermore, Aries is an ETL-Listed product, and is UL-823 certified as explosion-proof, dust-ignition proof, and dust-tight, suitable for use in hazardous locations where flammable gases and liquids are present. Several optional controller packages are also available for the Aries on customer request.
Effective & Safe Heating
The solvent heater incorporates design features for effective and safe heating to UL standards. For instance, the insulated housing is explosion-proof, dust ignition-proof, and dust tight. High-pot material epoxy embeds the lead wires, and the heater core comes in a sealed 304 stainless steel enclosure. Furthermore, the ground fault circuit integrator serves as a quick safety switch to prevent too much power into the heater. Finally, the independent fluid path permits the heater to heat flammable fluids.
Isolate Sensors
This heater features a 316L stainless steel coiled tube for wetted surfaces. A durable stainless steel fluid path that is independent of the heater element allows the Aries to effectively heat flammable fluids. Hermetically-sealed electrical and control connections, with thermocouples for process and over-temperature, ensure safe operation.
Cooling Flow Path
The design of the heater includes a cooling flow path, removing residual heat when the process is complete. This ensures that when fluid is not needed, process flow temperature is reduced; protecting both the heater and the operator.
