TEC-4000Hg

Description

The Apex TEC-4000Hg Thermoelectric Gas Cooler is a 19-inch rack-mounted gas cooler designed to be used in conjunction with the STM-6000RM Automated Mercury Sampling Console. The sample gas is cooled for the purpose of condensing the water vapor and water-soluble acids prior to measurement with the metering console. The condensate is collected in plastic-coated reagent bottles connected to the bottom of the condensers. The condensate freely drains into the bottles without the need of a pump. Dry acid-free sample gas is crucial for protecting the sample pumps and measurement devices. The bottles are sized for collecting up to one week of condensate from a source with 20% moisture when sampling at 500 ccm. The condensate can be measured for determining the approximate percent water vapor in accordance with EPA Method 4. Gases are drawn through a dry sorbet scrubber for removing residual water vapor and corrosive gases. For maximum performance, the thermoelectric module is coupled with a highly efficient heat exchanger for removing the heat from the hot side of the module to the ambient air. The heat exchanger includes a copper base fitted with six U-tube heat pipes with coated fins and a high-volume corrosion-resistant fan.
