White Knight Fluid Handling has launched the ThermaPoint Compact Inline Heaters, designed for ultrapure and low-flow process applications in semiconductor fabs and life sciences environments. The series features PFA/PTFE wetted surfaces with a tongue-and-groove seal design that eliminates O-ring compatibility concerns when handling aggressive chemistries. Operating in the 1–3 kW power range and supporting 120–240 VAC configurations, the units handle flow rates up to 26 litres per minute.
The heaters integrate low-mass Heateflex heating coils intended to deliver rapid thermal response and precise temperature control, reducing the risk of overheating in sensitive chemical processes. The compact body measures 2.4 inches in diameter, addressing cleanroom footprint constraints. Safety features include fully encapsulated ground wires and Type J thermocouples for high-limit and process monitoring.
ThermaPoint will debut publicly at SEMICON West 2026, booth #553, at the Moscone Center in San Francisco from 13 October. The product is positioned for semiconductor process equipment builders and EMS-adjacent fab suppliers managing tight equipment layouts and critical thermal management requirements.
