Etching Applications Need Modutek’s Temperature Control Circulator for Reliability

Temperature Control Circulators are important for businesses using Buffered Oxide Etch (BOE) and HF applications. Modutek Corporation manufactures the RCe Series of sub-ambient temperature control circulators. The temperature can be controlled by amounts as low as 0.2°C. This is a result of the interface between our temperature control circulator and the silicon wet etching bath or other etch baths in your facility. The same would be true if you purchased a new etch bath or continue using the existing equipment. The design of the unit is compact (20.5” x 25.0” x 15.5”) and fits easily under your wet processing station or behind it.

The 134A Freon Compressor with our temperature control circulator replaces the R22 Freon compressor that is not compliant. This is an advantage that ensures your unit will meet current code requirements. The compressor size, fluid part options and heater size will enable you to choose the temperature control circulator that will match your system requirements.

Our electrical box, which includes on-board logic controls, also monitors process temperatures, heating and cooling. Not only are temperatures monitored, it also monitors reservoir levels and will let you know if flow levels drop off by sounding an audible alarm. Process temperatures often require constant temperatures or a specific temperature. There is alarm if the temperature fluctuates too much, also.

All Modutek temperature control circulators come with a standard 1500 watt stainless steel heater. If you need a different heater, 2500 and 3500 watt heaters may be purchased to upgrade the circulator if it is needed. The units are upgraded to Deionized (DI) water within the stainless steel fluid path. This is unique to the circulators manufactured by Modutek. Our RCe-01 series uses industry standard city water or reverse osmosis.

The standard temperature control circulator has a ¼ hp compress but can be upgraded to ½ hp, ¾ hp or 1 hp. Since our engineers work closely with your team of engineers, they will be able to design a system that will meet your requirements. If modifications are needed, our team is entirely in-house, which means you work exclusively with us and not an outsourced firm.

CE compliance is important for all Modutek equipment. The temperature control circulator is both CE compliant and environmentally friendly. The external status display allows you to see what is happening in the system. It has its own circuit breaker protection and maintenance on the unit is relatively easy should it be necessary.

The RCe Series temperature control circulator has specific housing requirements. The main power for the RCe025-1500 requires 120 VAC, 50/60HZ, 20A rating. The RCe Series requires 208VAC, 4-wire Circuit rating. In addition, it will need a ½” FNPT outlet/inlet in order for fluids to circulate properly.

If the processes you use on a daily basis require precise temperature controls, turn to Modutek Corporation. We have silicon wet etching process and can replace any chillers in your systems that are not compliant. Our temperature control circulator has been designed to exceed other chiller/heater units available today. Not only is it reliable, it is also safe. When you’re ready to replace the non-compliant chillers at your company, call Modutek Corporation. You may reach us at 866-803-1533 or through email Sales@Modutek.com. We welcome your questions and a chance to provide a quote.
