1.1 Intended use
This unit is intended for industrial use in gas analysis systems.
It is a component for conditioning sample gas to reduce the
load on the sample gas cooler and to protect the analysis in-
strument from residual moisture in the sample gas.
Please note the specifications in the data sheet on the specific
intended use, existing material combinations, as well as pres-
sure and temperature limits.
1.2 Overview
The PC1 precooler consists of two types which can be classified
according to the following applications:
• Use without acid meter PG1,
• Use with acid meter PG2 (incl. acid meter connection).
This classification is reflected in the type designation. The ex-
act item number of the model defined by you is determined
by the model code in the category ordering information.
Additional components which every conditioning system
should feature can optionally be integrated:
• Peristaltic pump for condensate separation,
• Meter,
• Dosing pump,
• 24 V or 230 V fan,
• Automatic condensate drain AK 5.5 or AK 20.
This allows for various configurations of the PC1 precooler and
options. We paid attention to easy access to wear parts and
consumables.
