Watlow Heater for Bioreactor Exhaust Filter Tube 1/2 in. Diameter

The Watlow M1363-8014 Heater is a specialized heating element designed for use with a bioreactor exhaust filter tube. This heater plays a crucial role in maintaining the temperature of the exhaust filter, which is important for the proper functioning and longevity of the filter, as well as for preventing condensation buildup.

Bioreactors are vessels used to cultivate cells or microorganisms, and the exhaust gases produced during these processes can contain moisture and volatile compounds. The exhaust filter tube is used to remove these components before the gases are released into the environment. However, if the filter tube is not maintained at an appropriate temperature, condensation can occur, leading to filter blockage, reduced efficiency, and potential microbial growth.

The Watlow M1363-8014 heater is specifically designed to address this issue. The "10W" specification indicates the heater's power output, which is the amount of energy it consumes to generate heat. This heater provides the necessary warmth to prevent condensation, ensuring the exhaust filter functions optimally.
