KwikCool
A KwikCool unit allows the furnace to cool quickly between analyses.
- Power OFF the analyzer.
- Attach the KwikCool cable to the connector labeled Sub Ambient Cooler on the front panel of the analyzer.
- Attach the tubing provided to the inlet on the front of the furnace.
- Attach a supply of dry house air (or nitrogen) to the gas inlet on the front of the KwikCool. The pressure is indicated next to the inlet.
- Fill a dewar with an ice water bath.
- Place the KwikCool on top of the dewar.
- Power ON the analyzer and start the analysis application.
- In the experiment, select the Enable KwikCool option in the Temperature Ramp window.
KwikCool Vortex Installation
The optional KwikCool Vortex uses compressed air to generate a sub ambient supply of air to the furnace to allow rapid cooling.
This kit includes:
- 1 KwikCool unit
- 1 Clear urethane tube to connect to clean dry compressed air
- 1 Swagelok fitting to connect the Vortex Cooler to the urethane tube for the supply of clean dry compressed air
To install the KwikCook Vortex:
- Connect the KwikCool Vortex electrical cable to the front panel of the analyzer at the connector labeled Sub Ambient Cooler.
- Push the flexible hose from the front of the KwikCool Vortex onto the short metal tube at the center front of the furnace.
- Connect the compressed air tubing to the Swagelok fitting and then connect the Swagelok fitting to the 1/4 in. tube on the front of the KwikCool Vortex.
- Connect the other end of the compressed air tubing to any clean, dry compressed air supply, at approximately 100 psig. Do not exceed 120 psig.
Do not exceed 120 psig. The KwikCool Vortex system uses about 2 cfm of air when running. Nitrogen or other inert gas may also be used. If a gas cylinder is used, the KwikCool Vortex will consume the cylinder of gas quickly, depending on the cylinder size. |
- Restart the analyzer application so the application will recognize the new hardware.
