General Design
Parfex IS-Intermittent Steam purge bundles are
thermally insulated with a composite layer of
fberglass that allows for occasional high-temperature
steam purge up to 1100°F (593°C) while at the same
time ensuring freeze protection during winter using
self-regulating heating cables.
Parfex IS-Intermittent Steam purge bundles are
properly insulated to ensure that the outer surface
area of the bundle is at or below 140°F (60°C),
