Basics of Gas Coolers
Sample gas coolers are devices used to cool gases or vapors that are being sampled in a process control application. They are typically used in chemical, petrochemical, and refining processes, as well as in power plants and other industrial settings.
Sample gas coolers work by using a heat exchange process to transfer heat from the gas or vapor being sampled to a cooling medium, such as water or air. This lowers the temperature of the gas or vapor, which can be important for several reasons.
First, cooling the gas or vapor can help prevent the sample from reacting with the sampling system or other process equipment. This is especially important when the gas or vapor is reactive or corrosive. Cooling the gas or vapor can also help to prevent it from condensing or solidifying, which can interfere with the accuracy of the sample.
Second, cooling the gas or vapor can help to improve the accuracy of the measurement being taken. Many process control instruments, such as gas chromatographs and mass spectrometers, are more accurate when the sample being measured is at a lower temperature. This is because the measurement can be more stable and consistent when the sample is at a lower temperature.
Overall, sample gas coolers are an important component of many process control systems, as they help to ensure the accuracy and stability of the measurements being taken, and help to protect process equipment from damage or corrosion.
The Perma Pure Baldwin Hybrid Sample Gas Cooler
The Perma Pure Hybrid Sample Gas Cooler combines the superior performance of Perma Pure’s Nafion™ based drying technology with the functionality of a traditional thermoelectric cooler. Powered by compressed air, this nonelectric cooler achieves dew points lower than 0ºC, helping prevent condensation-related problems. The patented mechanical design is ideal for locations with limited or no access to power or other areas where a nonelectric product may be desirable.
