INTRODUCTION Inline Deionized Water Heater (IDH) Trebor’s inline deionized water heater provides ultra-high purity and reliability. The flow path is smooth, free of particle traps and constructed entirely of GE 214 quartz and PFA, making it capable of the purest of applications. The design prevents metal ion contamination if the external thin-film heating element should fail.
INTENDED USE AND AUDIENCE The IDH is designed to safely heat DI water. The IDH is not intended for use with combustible or flammable chemistries, such as solvents, or chemistries, such as HF or KOH, with accelerated quartz etch rates. This manual covers the Trebor IDH and heater accessories provided by Trebor.
SAFETY SAFETY PRECAUTIONS This section provides important information for safe operation of the IDH. The equipment described in this manual uses hazardous voltage electricity that can be dangerous. Local policies and procedures for safely operating any Trebor chemical heater(s) supersede the safety considerations listed below. It is the responsibility of all personnel to follow such policies and procedures.
2.2.b Warning Warning A Warning message indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in serious injury. A typical example of a Warning message: Hazardous Voltage Voltage or current hazard sufficient to cause shock, burn or death. Disconnect and lockout power before servicing.
2.3.c Liquid Over-Temperature Protection The maximum liquid temperature (T °C) can be estimated from the element temperature (T °C), heater power rating (P - i.e. 3-kW, 4-kW, 6- kW, etc.) and duty cycle (duty %). T + P * duty * 16.1 Example 1: Given a maximum allowable liquid temperature of 100°C, a heater rated at 6 kW and a 100% duty cycle, the maximum element temperature limit is:...
INSTALLATION Ensure that all heater interlock and safety devices are functional prior to operation (refer to Section 2, Safety Requirements). Before starting the system, it is important to read and understand Section 4, Operation. Only trained, qualified, authorized personnel should operate this heater. Figure 3-1 Use ¼”...
UTILITY REQUIREMENTS Utility Inline DI Heater • System Power: 3ea - 6kW 400 Vac 50/60 Hz, 3Ø, 30 Amp Service • Maximum Pressure 0.55 MPa (80 psig) • Heater Weight: 11kg (24.25lbs) (Approximate) UNPACKING The system should be checked for any damage that may have occurred during shipment.
OPERATION GENERAL Ensure that all heater interlock and safety devices are functional prior to operation (refer to Section 2, Safety Requirements). The IDH is designed to heat Deionized Water in either single pass (trim) or recirculation applications up to 100°C. Figure 4-1 shows approximate flow capacity versus temperature rise per fluid pass.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL An external control system is required for operating the IDH; see Figure 4-2 for a typical control set up. The system should consist of: temperature control system, interlock controls (see Section 2.3), and outlet liquid temperature sensor(s). Operating settings and parameters are to be determined by the user. The control scheme should be set up to not only control the liquid outlet temperature but also limit the heater element surface temperature to a maximum of 250°...
