PAGE 4 MODEL IQ CHEMICAL HEATER OPERATION / MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1.1 INTENDED USE AND AUDIENCE
The IQ chemical heater is designed to safely heat acids, DI water, and other
noncombustible quartz-compatible liquid solutions up to 200°C. The IQ chemical
heater 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 only covers the Trebor IQ chemical heater and heater accessories
provided by Trebor. The user is responsible for the external control system and
all necessary connections required to safely operate the heater (see Sections 4.3
and 7)
The Trebor IQ chemical heater is not to be used for proposes other than that
which is designed for. The heater and optional components are to be used only
with liquids and parameters stated within this manual. This manual assumes
personnel are familiar with the installation, operation and maintenance
requirements of chemical heaters.
The IQ chemical heater is intended for use by properly trained personnel. Read
and understand this manual prior to installation and/or operation of the heater.
Do not use this equipment until familiar with its operation and safety features.
1.2 HEATER SIZING
Sizing Formula
Required kW = 0.264(Flow)(Temp Delta)
Conversion Calculations:
GPM = LPM/3.8
°C = 5/9(°F - 32)
Heater Sizing Formula Example
Temperature delta per pass = 15 °C
Required kW=0.264(1 GPM)(15 °C) = 3.96 kW
For optimal temperature response and to compensate for overshoot; Trebor
recommends adding 25% excess heating capacity.
3.96 kW(1.25) = 4.95 kW.
Trebor recommends a 6 kW heater for this application.
