Semicon fabs improve thermal fluid management with Insulon Vacuum Jacketed Hose

Semiconductor fab and sub-fab systems rely on precise thermal management to ensure reliable performance and safety. When transferring high or low-temperature fluids between equipment and tool, proper thermal insulation is required to minimize heat ingress or egress.

Insulon vacuum jacketed hose are used to transfer thermal fluids from chillers and cryo-chillers, process heating and cooling equipment, deposition lines, and more. Precise temperature control helps increase yields, ensure product quality, and reduce downtime in these critical manufacturing environments.

  • Available in sizes including 1/4″, 3/8″, 1/2″, 3/4″, and 1″ ID. Lengths up to 20 meters, depending on diameter.
  • Operating temperature range from -270 to 815 Celsius.
  • Pressure up to 750 psi, depending on diameter and temperature
  • Compatible with a variety of end configurations including compression unions and adapters, flanges, and more

Chillers and cryo-chillers

Insulating chiller fluids as they. travel between the chiller and the tool is critical for maintaining precise temperature control. Insulon hose minimizes heat ingress, resulting in faster time-to-temperature. Insulon vacuum insulation helps improve the energy efficiency of the thermal circuit, and can help reduce the load on the chiller.
