  • System and method for reducing deionized water consumption
    Patent number: 7258801
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for reducing DI water consumption by delivering the DI water at an elevated processing temperature when demanded. The DI water is passed through a heater for heating the DI water to a processing temperature in a single pass. The DI water is circulated through a recirculation loop, including the heater, until demanded. The DI water is monitored for contaminants and bubbles or voids. Detected contaminants or voids are discharged through vents of the system. Turbulence or biocides can be introduced into the recirculated DI water for inhibiting biological contamination.

  • In-line fluid heating system
    Patent number: 6621984
    Abstract: An in-line fluid heating system including a lamp module having a plurality of heating lamps. A fluid vessel is configured to slidably accept the lamp module therein. The fluid vessel includes a fluid inlet, a fluid outlet, a central tube, and an outer envelope in fluid communication with and coaxial to the central tube. The heating lamp module is removably disposed between the central tube and outer envelope such that the fluid is heated as it passes through the central tube and the outer envelope. A reflector substantially surrounds the fluid vessel for reflecting energy emitted from the lamp module back into the fluid vessel. Insulation may substantially surround the reflector and fluid vessel to further prevent heat loss.
