Internal Star-shaped Thermal Element for Optimized Cold Water Performance.
This original Tecline component, available on DIR-STORE, is the internal heat exchanger (often referred to as a "star" or intermediate pressure radiator) inserted into the body of high-performance balanced diaphragm first stages. Its finned, star-shaped geometric structure is designed to maximize the heat exchange surface within the intermediate pressure chamber, counteracting the freezing effect caused by rapid gas expansion.
Key Features and Benefits:
-
Active Prevention of Free-flow: Dissipates the cold generated by high-pressure gas flow, drastically reducing the risk of first stage free-flow due to freezing during winter or deep dives.
-
Dynamic 9-Vane Geometry: The finned design allows gas flow to sweep across the metal walls of the radiator, stabilizing the internal air temperature directed to the low-pressure (LP) hoses.
-
Conductive / Composite Technopolymer Material: Made from special materials with high mechanical strength and excellent thermal stability properties, resistant to wear and compatible with regulator lubricants.
