SHX Inline Solvent Heater
Ultra-pure heater for IPA and flammable solvents
The SHX is Process Technology’s ultra-high-purity inline heater for IPA and other low flash-point solvents. The chemistry stays inside high-purity PTFE with no contact with metal and no wetted o-rings, and the heater is assembled in a Class 100 cleanroom.
Heating is indirect, with the element isolated from the fluid path. The low watt density lets IPA be heated close to its boiling point without gassing, redundant sensors monitor the temperature, and a purge gives early warning of any fluid-path breach. The low-mass design heats up quickly with little overshoot and follows changes in flow.
