TEC-4000Hg Thermoelectric Gas Conditioner

The TEC-4000Hg Thermoelectric Gas Conditioner 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.

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.
