Conductive Heating Element: Many commonly-used chemistries do not readily absorb infrared heat, making infrared heaters a poor choice for some processes. Heaters employing this technology often have maintenance issues and require cooling or a purge to prevent overheating failures. IMTEC chose a special conductive heater element to reduce maintenance and overall cost of ownership.
Power Modulator: IMTEC’s proprietary power modulator ensures that the exact amount of heat for any process is applied- no more, no less. During initial heat-up, the rate of heat transfer gradually decreases with time. When the rate of heat transfer bottoms out, the power modulator turns the heater off, allowing the heat built up in the quartz to disperse into the liquid.
Turning off the heater when it isn’t needed means that there is no wasted energy, and no undue stress on components caused by over-heating. IMTEC’s proprietary technology ensures minimal heat-up times with an efficient use of energy for any application.
Quartz Fluid Path: Quartz performs well with almost any chemistry including solvents. Since the fluid path is quartz, IMTECs in line units can also be used as high purity solvent heaters.
