The Apex Instruments TEC-4000Hg Thermoelectric Gas Cooler removes moisture and gas and is designed to be used with the XC-6000 Sorbent Trap Mercury Monitoring Systems for PS-12B.
The TEC-4000Hg is mounted in a 19-inch cabinet with the XC-6000 and provides a robust, closed, and dual-channel gas conditioning system that collects condensate in sample bottles and delivers dry, acid-free gas to the meter console.
The Apex Instruments TEC-4000Hg Thermoelectric Gas Cooler is a 19-inch rack-mounted gas cooler designed to be used in conjunction with the XC-6000EM MercSampler 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.
Pinnacle Cooling Technology
The TEC-4000Hg uses the Apex state-of-the-art Pinnacle Heat Pump for cooling the sample gas to remove moisture from the sample. The Pinnacle solid-state heat pump is housed in a rugged package that is easy to service and designed to withstand harsh manufacturing environments.
