GREASE FIRE

I figure there must be a certain point where the svo line can get too hot, does anyone know what that temp would be?
I have taken several steps to increase the temp of my svo line, i basically was not convinced that the greasel system alone was enough, especially during the early stages of switching to svo. I added a lot of heat to my filter and now a copper pipe heat exchanger right after that, then it goes through the HOH system. I know the copper pipe gets way to hot to even touch, plus i have it insulated, so now my next step is to put a thermometer somewhere in the line to measure the temp. I can actually shut off the coolant flow through the heat exchanger if i find it getting too hot, though i doubt that will happen; i also have a band heater with coolant hose wrapped around that on the filter, and the band heater has a shut off switch as well.
Does anyone have info on what the max svo temp could be?
thanks,
Paul
