Swagelok® Thermal Loop Management Program

Achieving optimal yield in semiconductor wafer manufacturing requires efficient chiller and heat exchanger operation, and that requires reliable chiller hoses and other leak-tight components. Those components must be properly installed, routed, and insulated to achieve process consistency, repeatability, cleanliness, and a moisture-free operating environment.

The Swagelok thermal loop management program was created to address condensation prevention and reduce operating costs. This comprehensive program uses our decades of experience and deep technical understanding of semiconductor wafer manufacturing process requirements to offer resources that can help maximize semiconductor operation productivity. 

• Reduced downtime by preventing condensation that causes process interruption
• Increased semiconductor chip yields by minimizing thermal variation with highly efficient media transfer throughout the process loop
• Increased efficiency and reduced energy costs due to improved chiller performance
• Reduced capital expenses and operating expenditures due to streamlined processes with a single vendor
• Reduced labor costs by utilizing Pre-Insulated and Vacuum Insulated Hose options that arrive ready to install, eliminating the need for time-consuming field insulation by hand
