The Peltier gas coolers ECP4X and ECP5X are used in gas analysis to lower the dew point of humid gas to prevent condensation in the analyzer. By setting an extremely stable gas outlet dew point, the effects of water vapor cross-sensitivity and volumetric errors are minimized.
The high cooling capacity of the ECP4X and ECP5X devices are particularly well-suited for use in Process and Emissions analysis, even in locations where compressor coolers were previously the only option due to high ambient temperatures.
Modular, retrofittable, user-friendly, low-maintenance, and self-monitoring are some features of the M&C gas coolers.
The smart design solutions ensure optimum cooling of the measured gas with minimal washout effects and guarantee reliable separation of the condensate.
Since the individual cooling modules operate independently of one another and the HMI (Human Machine Interface) is used only for display and configuration rather than for control, the cooler’s basic function remains intact even if the HMI is out of order.
The Peltier gas coolers ECP4X and ECP5X can be equipped with up to four cooling modules. The modular design enables easy and cost-effective retrofitting of the devices in the field.
The modular cooler architecture allows for the installation of heat exchangers made of glass, PVDF or stainless steel, depending on the application. The required heat exchangers are available separately (see table of heat exchanger options).
The accumulated condensate can be collected using the optionally integrated peristaltic pump(s) SR25.2.
By default, the ECP4X features five potential-free alarm relays (NO) with four individual cooling module alarms and one collective alarm. The setpoints and control types (absolute or ΔT) can be configured individually for each cooling module.
The standard CAN bus with CANopen protocol enables easy integration into the existing analysis system.
Four configurable analog outputs (mA or V output) per unit are available as an option. Up to four LA1 or LA1S liquid alarm sensors can be connected to the Peltier gas cooler.
The individual cooling modules can also be retrofitted with an optional thermocouple module for informative temperature measurement in the heat exchanger.
