DANGER! Condensate may be toxic or corrosive! Please wear sufficient protective clothing
(for example safety gloves, face mask, safety goggles etc.).
CAUTION! Toxic and explosive gases! Corresponding guidelines must be adhered to while
operating with toxic and explosive gases.
NOTICE: Environment protection! Don’t dispose the condensate in the environment. Don’t
drain the condensate into the sewage system without treating it first. Dispose the condensate in
compliance with the local rules.
Regardless of the type of heat exchanger system always mount an appropriate, pneumatically
tight drainage (eg. peristaltic pump, float drain, condensate tank, etc.). For each gas path and
condensate outlet a separate drain must be provided. Without suitable condensate drainage the
device will not function properly.
Lay the condensate drain line outside the device with an adequately dimensioned gradient and
without counter pressure. Avoid unwanted pipe bends and level differences as well.
If the dew point in the sample gas pipeline between the outlet probe and the sample gas
conditioner inlet falls, the sample gas pipeline must be equipped with a steam trace to avoid
condensate waste. Connect heated discharge lines to the cooler with suitable thermal
decoupling.
In case of condensation in the sample line, a suitable pre-separator needs to be installed before
the cooler. We also recommend to use a pre-separator in case of measuring points at high inlet
temperatures and high inlet dew points greater than 65°C. The capacity of heat exchangers is
thus affected favorably.

Flowmete
r
(optional)
The highly corrosion-resistant flowmeter with needle valve is used for flow control of aggressive gas
media. It consist of a flared top glass tube in which a float can move freely up and down. The gas flows
from the bottom up through the tube and thereby lifts a float. For a precise adjustment the flow meter is
supplied with an integrated fine adjustment valve. Optionally, the flowmeter can be equipped with a one-
shot sensor light barrier. In combination with an appropriate electronic control the gas flow can be
accurately monitored. The flow meter has a measuring range of 14 to 140 l/h for wall-mounted devices
(45° installation position) and 15 to 150 l/h for 19”-rack models (90° installation position)
FEATURES FM140/FM150

Condensate Pre-Separato
r
(optional)
Condensate pre-separators can be used for measuring points at high inlet temperatures of up to 160 °C
and high inlet dew points greater than 65 °C. The capacity of heat exchangers is thus affected favorably.
The sample gas is pre-cooled in condensate pre-separators by the ambient air. On reaching the dew
point, water vapor condenses along the dew point line as a result of the cooling. Condensate is separated
from the sample gas and collected in the condensate separator of the pre-separator. Condensate is
continuously discharged by the connected condensate pump (3,4ml/min @ 5U/min - N3,2x1,6mm).

Moisture Senso
r
(optional)
The moisture sensor protects downstream analyzers against humidity. This monitoring device reliably
signals a condensate breakthrough in case of failure of cooling devices or failure of condensate drains,
thus avoiding costly downtime and high repair costs. In case of an alarm, sample gas pumps can be
switched off and shut-off valves can be activated. The moisture sensor operates according to the principle
of electric conductivity. Its design ensures that any condensate in the sample gas flow gets directly to the
sensor surface by gravitational force. Even smallest amounts of liquid will trigger a fast and reliable
alarm. Control/alert served by an appropriate electronic control.
FEATURES MS

Components
Acid Injection (optional)
This equipment optimizes the reduction of SO2 loss during cooling/drying process of the sample gas. SO2
solubility errors become more reproducible and measurement equipment can be better calibrated. By
injecting dosed amounts of an acid (e.g. H2PO4 or H2SO4, 5%) or of an aqueous solution of salt (e.g.
NaHSO4 or KHSO4, 10%) in the gas flow, you can raise the PH value of the forming condensate so high,
that the solubility of SO2 decreases. The equipment can also be used for washing alkaline gases (e.g.
NH3 or NH4Cl).
The acid/solution is continuously injected by a peristaltic pump. The pump operates continuously, but can
also be controlled externally (option). Different pump hoses allow following dosages: N1,6x1,6mm -
12ml/h, N3,2x1,6mm - 42ml/h. Before entering the heat-exchanger, acid and gas are thoroughly mixed
in a swirl line.
FEATURES AI
Reduction of SO2 loss
Washing of alkaline gases
Acid dosage by peristaltic pump
Dosage: 12ml/h or 42ml/h
Injection with swirl line
Sample Gas Pump (optional)
Into the cooler integrated sample gas pumps transport continuously and reliably the sample gas through
the whole system. There are several pump model types available, optimized for different applications. All
pumps operate oil-free and ensure a straight and uncontaminated transport of the gas. You can exactly
dose and monitor the performance of the pump respectively the gas flow rate by an integrated flowmeter
(option). Possible discontinuities in the gas flow can be monitored by a light barrier (option). Please
notice the attached product information and technical data of the pumps.
The sample gas pumps start automatically after reaching the cooling temperature. At temperature alarms
or alarms triggered by moisture sensors the pumps are automatically stopped. Due to this feature your
subsequent analyzers are optimally protected.
FEATURES SAMPLE GAS PUMPS
Uncontaminated flow
Chemically resistant, maintenance-free
Application-optimized model types
Start/Stop-automatic
Perfect integration into the cooler
