Embodiments of the disclosure relate to an apparatus and method for annealing one or more semiconductor substrates. In one embodiment, a processing chamber is disclosed. The processing chamber includes a chamber body enclosing an internal volume, a substrate support disposed in the internal volume and configured to support a substrate during processing, a gas panel configured to provide a processing fluid into the internal volume, and a temperature-controlled fluid circuit configured to maintain the processing fluid at a temperature above a condensation point of the processing fluid. The temperature-controlled fluid circuit includes a gas conduit fluidly coupled to a port on the chamber body at a first end and to the gas panel at a second end.
