Heateflex (www.heateflex.com) featured its Solar Cell Texturing Tank, as well as the Aquarius® Series Ultra-Pure DI Water Heating System and PFA/PTFE Immersion Heaters.

Heateflex specially designed a Solar Cell Texturing Tank for cell development. This innovative product creates a more uniform flow across the surface area of the solar cell substrates, allowing for greater production in a shorter amount of time and with more consistent results. The patent pending Controlled Flow, Texturing Tank removes more bubbles from the surface. The controlled flow is combined with an integrated degassing chamber which removes bubbles from the fluid before the fluid enters the process area of the tank. A heated chamber creates uniform temperature and the high purity wetted surfaces, insure compatibility with the etch solutions. The Solar Cell Texturing Tank will increase your corporate profit by increasing solar cell conversion efficiency and improving production yields.

Heateflex Aquarius® DI Water Heating System is a single-pass heater with no reservoir. By using hot DI water instead of ambient, you can enhance your productions’ flow through reduced rinse times and wafer drying time. The Aquarius® Heateflex combines patented heating element technology and Power-To-Flow® Plus temperature control for precise temperature and safety operation.

Heateflex® Immersion Heaters are highly responsive, efficient, and custom-engineered for individual processes. The heaters provide clean and even heating for optimize texturing of solar cell wafers. Process baths which utilize the direct application of heat should only use an immersion heater which has been designed specifically for solar cell applications. Heateflex® Immersion Heaters feature PFA and PTFE wetted surfaces for ultra purity, and can be controlled by microprocessor-based temperature controls for precise temperatures and safe operation. The Heateflex® Immersion Heaters will reduce rinse times and improve the removal of surcease contaminates by using hot DI water in the process. It will further reduce drying time and increase productivity.
