APPLICATION In order to sample combustion product stack gas or exhaust from Internal Combustion (IC) engines, a method to remove moisture from the sample without removing gas components of interest is a must. The Universal Analyzers Peltier Effect Sample Cooler is an ideal way to decrease the dew point of combustion gasses to a repeatable, stable, constant low dew point. The Universal Analyzer Gas Sample Coolers prevent water condensation in sample prefilters, sample pumps, and gas analyzers. For gas analyzers where water vapor is an interferrent, a stable, repeatable dew point becomes a part of the gas analyzer's performance specification. The Universal Analyzers sample cooler provides this constant water concentration resulting in an accurate analysis of the components of interest. The gas sample to be analyzed is brought to the sample cooler, first through a sample probe which usually contains a heated filter, and then through a heated sample line which keeps the sample above it's dew point. The Universal Analyzers Sample Cooler then condenses water from the sample which lowers the dew point to 5 degrees C. (41 degrees F.). Particulate matter which escaped being filtered by the heated stack filter and which passes through the sample cooler can be removed by a visible sample prefilter, available from Universal Analyzers, located downstream from the sample cooler. A gas sample pump may be required as part of the sampling system if the sample is not under pressure. If the sample pump is placed ahead of the sample cooler, it should be provided with a heated head to avoid the condensation of water vapor due to the pump being below the dew point temperature of the sample. More commonly, the sample pump will be placed after the sample cooler in order to draw the sample through the cooler so that it has been dehydrated before the sample passes through the pump. The sample pump should either be located in an area which is not classified as hazardous or should be suitable for the hazardous area. Sample pumps with Explosion Proof or air driven motors are available. A means to control the flow of the sample through the system should be available and visible to the operator. This could be accomplished through the use of pressure regulators with gauges, flowmeters, and/or flow control needle valves. Condensate removal from the heat exchanger(s) within the Sample Cooler can be accomplished through one of the following alternative methods: 1. A continuously running peristaltic tubing pump. (The motor should be suitable for the hazardous area classification.) 2. Installing the heat exchanger as a bypass condenser, pulling excess sample through with an educator. 3. Use a liquid drainer. This requires the sample to be at a positive pressure. 4. A barometric leg can be designed to be seal the drain and provide an escape conduit for the condensate.

DESCRIPTION The Model 1140 cools the sample through the use of a Vortex Tube. Clean dry compressed air, preferably Instrument Air, supplied by the plant passes through a generator within the vortex tube which separates the high velocity molecules from the low velocity molecules to provide cold air within the sample cooler to remove the heat from the sample. Three square feet of heat transfer surface, inside the cooler transmits the heat from the gas sample, heating the cold air. The key to the success of the Universal Analyzers Sample Cooler being able to condense the water from a wet gas sample with a minimal loss of the water soluble gas fraction, is due to the design of the heat exchanger. The separation occurs in a classical impinger which has a highly polished cylindrical surface cooled to the desired dew point temperature. The gas sample is brought to the bottom of the cylinder through an insulated tube and allowed to rise through a narrow annular area to insure the entire sample is influenced by the cold surface. The condensate falls down the cold polished surface in the form of a sheet (as opposed to droplets or the bubbling of the gas sample through the condensate) which minimizes the surface area in contact with the gas sample. The internal, three square ft. heat sink is constructed from anodized pure aluminum fins which carry and transfer heat to the air which is directed at the heat sink by the vortex tube. The pure aluminum material is a far better conductor of heat that the aluminum alloys which are normally used for extruded heat sinks. The result is an assembly which has superior heat exhausting capabilities. A thermal valve is supplied as a control valve to limit the air supply when the heat transfer block containing the sample heat exchangers approached freezing. The thermal valve is operated with a thermal bulb located within the heat transfer block and connected with a capillary tube. The control valve is a non-electric valve which is actuated by the fluid within the thermal bulb. Since it is non-electric, it can be used in Division 1 or 2 hazardous areas.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Mount the Model 1140 Gas Sample Chiller on a vertical surface away from the weather. If it is needed to be located in the weather, an enclosure should be provided. Pipe a source of clean, dry compressed air to the control valve on the side of the chiller. The pressure during operation should be between 80 and 150 psig at the control valve for most efficient operation. The optimum pressure is between 100 and 125 psig. At 80 psig, the cooling capacity of the vortex tube is reduced about 30% below that available at 100 psig. The supply air line should be sized to avoid significant pressure drop due to the flow of air during operation (~4 SCFM). Sample tubing should be brought to the each heat exchanger inlet. A 3/8" tubing fitting is provided at the top of the heat exchanger as the sample inlet. The dry sample outlet is a "1/4" tubing fitting coming out of the top at an angle.

The gas sample should flow through an additional filter (with a clear bowl for checking the condition of the filter) as a safety measure before entering the analyzer(s). A 3/8" NPT female connection is provided as the condensate drain connection at the bottom of the heat exchanger. Equipment to remove the condensate must be installed. Several methods are discussed above. START UP PROCEDURE Open the valve from the air supply to the sample cooler. The temperature will start to drop immediately. A thermocouple can be inserted in the port on the right hand side of the chiller to follow the temperature drop of the chiller. Start the sample gas flow. Water should be observed to be removed from the bottom of the heat exchanger when steady state conditions are established. Turn on the analyzer(s) and calibrate as required. TROUBLE SHOOTING The presence of water in liquid form after the sample cooler is an indication of a fault in the system. Reasons for the presence of condensate in the system after the sample cooler could be one or more of the following: 1. Overloading of the cooling capacity of the cooler due to too much water vapor or too great a sample flow rate. 2. A fault in the condensate removal equipment. The heat exchanger has become full of condensate. 3. An air leak in the condensate removal tubing. 4. The pressure of the compressed air driving the vortex tube has dropped below 60 psig at the inlet of the thermal valve. 5. Water or solid materials in the compressed air supply has blocked or reduced the efficiency of the generator.

Calibration Procedure: 1. Connect an airline to the Vortex unit. The compressed air pressure should be a minimum of 90 psig. The compressed air temperature should be about 20oC. 2. Insert a thermocouple into the top left vent hole of the Heat Sink approximately 6 inches. 3. Insert a second thermocouple into the hole on the rights side of the Heat Transfer Block. 4. Completely open the Temperature Control Valve by turning the adjustment screw on top of the valve clockwise. 5. Close the Vortex airflow adjustment screw located on the bottom of the Vortex (the hot air discharge tube). Then open the screw approximately 1-1/4 turns (*See Below). 6. Turn on the air line. 7. Move the thermocouple in the Heat Sink up and down until the location of the lowest observed temperature is found. This should be in the center of the cold discharge tube on the Vortex. 8. Adjust the Vortex airflow screw until the cold air temperature is 4.0oC (25oF). 9. Allow the Heat Transfer Block to reach 4.5oC. Note: as the Heat Transfer Block temperature drops the cold air temperature will also drop. The final temperature of the cold air should be 9.5oC. 10. Adjust the Temperature Control Valve until the valve closes when the Heat Sink is 4.0oC. Then open the valve 1/2 turn. * 4 CFM = Approx. 3/4 Turn * 10 CFM = Approx. 1-1/2 Turns Dimensional drawings, installation drawings, and schematics are included as part of this manual.

COMPRESSED AIR LINE SIZES Compressed air lines should be sized to hold pressure drops to a minimum. Do not use restrictive fittings such as quick connects. They can starve the Vortex Tube by causing excessive line pressure drop. The following chart gives suggested line sizes for pipe and hose.
Line Sizes For Runs Up To: Model 3202 thru 3208 Model 3402 thru 3408 Model 3210 thru 3240 Model 3410 thru 3440 Model 3250 thru 3299 Model 3450 thru 3499 10 FT (3m) Pipe 1/8" Hose 1/4" 10-50 FT (3 - 15.2m) Pipe 1/4" Hose 3/8" 50-100 FT (15.2 - 30.5m) Pipe 1/4" Hose 3/8"

To prevent problems associated with oil, use Model 9005 Oil Removal Filter for Vortex Tubes up to 30 SCFM (850 SLPM) or Model 9006 Oil Removal Filter for Vortex Tubes up to 150 SCFM (4248 SLPM). The oil removal filter should be used downstream from the automatic drain filter separator. Filters should be used within 10 to 15' (3 to 4.6m) of each Vortex Tube. By regulating pressure, refrigeration produced can be matched to the application requirements. Use Model 9008 Pressure Regulator for Vortex Tubes up to 50 SCFM (1416 SLPM) or Model 9009 Pressure Regulator for Vortex Tubes up to 150 SCFM (4248 SLPM). Another method of temperature control is to supply the Vortex Tube with full line pressure, then cycle the air on and off with a solenoid valve controlled by a thermostat.
For replacement or repair filter and regulator parts contact Nimmo Fluid Power at 1-888-646-6097.

COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY For best performance, use line pressure 80 to 100 PSIG (5.5 - 6.9 BAR). Vortex Tubes are rated in SCFM (SLPM) at 100 PSIG (6.9 BAR) supply pressure. With proper filtration and separation of dirt, moisture and oil from the compressed air supply, the Vortex Tube will run for years with no maintenance required. Use a 25 micron or smaller filter separator that is sized to the SCFM (SLPM) rating of the Vortex Tube. The Model 9004 Automatic Drain Filter Separator is used for Vortex Tubes up to 40 SCFM (1133 SLPM), Model 9002 Automatic Drain Filter Separator for Vortex Tubes up to 150 SCFM (4248 SLPM).

USING THE VORTEX TUBE Each size Vortex Tube can produce a number of flow rates as determined by an internal plastic part called a generator. Each generator is marked with a number and a letter. The number indicates the capacity (SCFM of air consumption) and the letter indicates the type of operation (R for maximum refrigeration or C for maximum cold temperature). The Vortex Tube has one generator installed. If a different capacity is desired, other generators are available.

TROUBLESHOOTING & MAINTENANCE


Generator Number Marked Here Cold Air Exhaust Compressed Air Supply Hot Air Exhaust

If The Vortex Tube Does Not Perform Properly, check for these common problems: 1. Loose Cold Cap or Cold Muffler - A loose cold cap or cold muffler will cause poor performance. Make sure it is tight. 2. Inlet Pressure - Low inlet pressure supply will cause poor performance. Measure the pressure at the compressed air inlet of the Vortex Tube while it is operating. Restrictions in the compressed air supply line can cause excessive pressure drops and deteriorate performance. 3. Inlet Temperature - A Vortex Tube provides a temperature drop from supply air temperature. In some cases, the supply air is warmer than ambient air due to compressed air lines running across ceilings, near furnaces, direct sun, etc. In this case, the cold air may be warmer than anticipated and adequate refrigeration may not be available for the application. 4. No Cold Flow - If the Vortex Tube is operated continuously for an extended period of time and is set for more than a 50F (28C) drop from the compressed air temperature, the cold end may freeze, blocking the cold outlet. If this happens, any one of the following will correct the problem: (a) Blow air (use an air gun) into the cold end with the Vortex Tube off. (b) Turn the Vortex Tube off for a few minutes. It will thaw. (c) Use dry air with an atmospheric dew point of -40 or less. 5. Back Pressure - The performance of a Vortex Tube deteriorates with back pressure on the cold air exhaust. Pressure up to 2 PSIG (.1 BAR) will not change performance. 5 PSIG (.3 BAR) will change performance by approximately 5F (2.8C). If cold air ducting is used, the total crosssectional area should be equal to or greater than the area of the Vortex Tube cold air exhaust.

Valve

The R type generators are used for most applications (part cooling, enclosure cooling, tool cooling and in applications where complete heat exchange is desired). R type generators should be used for temperatures down to 0F (-18C). If the Vortex Tube is set for 50F (28C) below the supply air temperature, it will be at 80% cold fraction (80% of the air is directed to the cold end). This produces a combination of cold flow volume and temperature drop that gives the best performance in most applications. C type generators are used for maximum cold temperature (cooling parts, liquids or gas samples to subzero temperatures, component testing, etc.). C type generators should be used for temperatures 80 to 120F (44 to 67C) below the supply air temperature. Any temperature drop greater than 50F (28C) may precipitate moisture that could freeze and plug the cold air exhaust (see 4 under "Troubleshooting"). SETTING THE VORTEX TUBE Hot and cold air temperatures produced by a Vortex Tube are infinitely variable by adjusting the slotted valve at the hot air exhaust. Opening the valve reduces the cold airflow and the cold air temperature. Closing the valve increases the cold airflow and the cold air temperature. Set the Vortex Tube with a thermometer. To measure temperature accurately, it should be inserted into the cold muffler or a piece of tubing on the cold end exhaust. NOISE MUFFLING Normally, muffling is not required if the hot and cold air is ducted. Mufflers are available for both the hot and cold exhaust for all Vortex Tubes. (For model number, see drawing on other side.) The cold cap on the medium and large Vortex Tubes must be removed to install the muffler.

V47 Valve Sizing Information


To Select Water Valve Size, refer to flow chart for selection of water valves. Carefully follow the steps as outlined below.1
Determine the maximum water flow required. Draw a horizontal line through this flow across the upper half of the flow chart. Use the following method to determine the temperature rise above the opening point. a Valve closing point is the highest temperature at which it is desired to have no flow through the valve. b Valve opening point is about 5F above the closing point. c Determine the temperature the valve is to maintain, this is the operating temperature. d Subtract the opening temperature from the operating temperature. This is the temperature rise above the opening point. Determine the available system pressure for use with the valve by the following appropriate method: Open System: Available System Pressure = Inlet Pressure condenser pressure drop - friction losses in piping. Closed System: Available System Pressure = Inlet Pressure static head - condenser pressure drop-friction losses in piping. The available system pressure is represented by the curve in the lower half of the flow chart. In the lower half of the flow curve, draw a horizontal line from the temperature above the opening point (Step 2d) to the available system pressure (Step 3). If the point falls between two pressure drop curves, use the curve to the left (this gives an automatic factor of safety). From this point, draw a vertical line until it intersects the flow line from Step 1. If the intersection falls on a valve size curve, this is the valve size. If the intersection falls between two curves, use the curve to the left for the required valve size.

V46, V47, 246, and 247 Repair Parts and Service Instructions

A pplication Overview
The V46 pressure-actuated and V47 temperatureactuated water-regulating valves are used for water-cooled condensers, bypass service on refrigeration systems, engine cooling, and various industrial applications. IMPORTANT: All Series V46 and V47 valves are designed for use only as operating devices. Where system closure, improper flow, or loss of pressure due to valve failure can result in personal injury and/or loss of property, a separate pressure relief or safety shutoff valve (as applicable) must be added by the user.

M anual Flushing
To clear any sediment that may accumulate, valves may be manually flushed by inserting screwdrivers under both sides of the main spring and lifting upwards to flush the valve. Manual flushing does not affect valve adjustments.
Range Spring Valve Spring Guide

Insert screwdrivers underneath the valve spring guide.

Top Retainer

Adjustments
To raise the valve opening point on direct-acting valves, turn the adjusting screw counterclockwise. To lower the valve opening point, turn the range adjusting screw clockwise. See Figure 2. The closing point of the valve is not adjustable. Pressure-actuated valves close approximately 3 to 7 psi (21 to 48 kPa) below the opening point, and temperature-actuated valves close approximately 3 to 5F (1.7 to 2.8C) below the opening point. If the compressor operates in high ambient temperatures, head pressures may remain high enough during off cycles to prevent the valve from closing completely. In such instances, the opening point of the valve should be raised just enough to cause the valve to close during compressor standby periods. This will also raise the throttling point. The all-range pressure-actuated valve settings can be adjusted for both low pressure refrigerant ranges of R-134a and higher pressure refrigerant ranges of R-22 (R-502). Figure 1: Manual Flushing

I nspection and Service


After long periods of operation, the valve seat and rubber disc may become worn, pitted, or wiredrawn, preventing the valve from completely closing off when the pressure/temperature is below the setpoint.

WARNING: Personal injury hazard. Contents of liquid lines could be under pressure. Avoid possible personal injury by shutting off the liquid supply and relieving the pressure before servicing the valve.
