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

COMPRESSED AIR LINE SIZESCompressed air lines should be sized to holdpressure drops to a minimum. Do not userestrictive fittings such as quick connects. Theycan “starve” the Vortex Tube by causing excessiveline pressure drop. The following chart givessuggested line sizes for pipe and hose.
COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLYFor best performance, use line pressure 80 to 100PSIG (5.5 - 6.9 BAR). Vortex Tubes are rated inSCFM (SLPM) at 100 PSIG (6.9 BAR) supplypressure.With proper filtration and separation of dirt,moisture and oil from the compressed air supply,the Vortex Tube will run for years with nomaintenance required. Use a 25 micron or smallerfilter separator that is sized to the SCFM (SLPM)rating of the Vortex Tube. The Model 9004Automatic Drain Filter Separator is used for VortexTubes up to 40 SCFM (1133 SLPM), Model 9002Automatic Drain Filter Separator for Vortex Tubesup to 150 SCFM (4248 SLPM).
To prevent problems associated with oil, useModel 9005 Oil Removal Filter for Vortex Tubesup to 30 SCFM (850 SLPM) or Model 9006 OilRemoval Filter for Vortex Tubes up to 150 SCFM(4248 SLPM). The oil removal filter should beused downstream from the automatic drain filterseparator. Filters should be used within 10 to 15'(3 to 4.6m) of each Vortex Tube.
By regulating pressure, refrigeration produced canbe matched to the application requirements. UseModel 9008 Pressure Regulator for Vortex Tubesup to 50 SCFM (1416 SLPM) or Model 9009Pressure Regulator for Vortex Tubes up to 150SCFM (4248 SLPM). Another method oftemperature control is to supply the Vortex Tubewith full line pressure, then cycle the air on and offwith a solenoid valve controlled by a thermostat.

USING THE VORTEX TUBEEach size Vortex Tube can produce a number offlow rates as determined by an internal plastic partcalled a generator. Each generator is marked witha number and a letter. The number indicates thecapacity (SCFM of air consumption) and the letterindicates the type of operation (“R” for maximumrefrigeration or “C” for maximum coldtemperature). The Vortex Tube has one generatorinstalled. If a different capacity is desired, othergenerators are available.

The “R” type generators are used for mostapplications (part cooling, enclosure cooling, toolcooling and in applications where complete heatexchange is desired). “R” type generators shouldbe used for temperatures down to 0°F (-18°C). Ifthe Vortex Tube is set for 50°F (28°C) below thesupply air temperature, it will be at 80% coldfraction (80% of the air is directed to the cold end).This produces a combination of cold flow volumeand temperature drop that gives the bestperformance in most applications.
“C” type generators are used for maximum coldtemperature (cooling parts, liquids or gas samplesto subzero temperatures, component testing, etc.).“C” type generators should be used fortemperatures 80° to 120°F (44° to 67°C) below thesupply air temperature. Any temperature dropgreater than 50°F (28°C) may precipitate moisturethat could freeze and plug the cold air exhaust (see4 under "Troubleshooting").
SETTING THE VORTEX TUBEHot and cold air temperatures produced by aVortex Tube are infinitely variable by adjusting theslotted valve at the hot air exhaust. Opening thevalve reduces the cold airflow and the cold airtemperature. Closing the valve increases the coldairflow and the cold air temperature.Set the Vortex Tube with a thermometer. Tomeasure temperature accurately, it should beinserted into the cold muffler or a piece of tubingon the cold end exhaust.
NOISE MUFFLINGNormally, muffling is not required if the hot andcold air is ducted. Mufflers are available for boththe hot and cold exhaust for all Vortex Tubes. (Formodel number, see drawing on other side.) Thecold cap on the medium and large Vortex Tubesmust be removed to install the muffler.
TROUBLESHOOTING & MAINTENANCE
If The Vortex Tube Does Not Perform Properly,check for these common problems:
1. Loose Cold Cap or Cold Muffler - A loosecold cap or cold muffler will cause poorperformance. Make sure it is tight.
2. Inlet Pressure - Low inlet pressure supply willcause poor performance. Measure the pressure atthe compressed air inlet of the Vortex Tube while itis operating. Restrictions in the compressed airsupply line can cause excessive pressure drops anddeteriorate performance.3. Inlet Temperature - A Vortex Tube provides atemperature drop from supply air temperature. Insome cases, the supply air is warmer than ambientair due to compressed air lines running acrossceilings, near furnaces, direct sun, etc. In thiscase, the cold air may be warmer than anticipatedand adequate refrigeration may not be available forthe application.4. No Cold Flow - If the Vortex Tube is operatedcontinuously for an extended period of time and isset for more than a 50°F (28°C) drop from thecompressed air temperature, the cold end mayfreeze, blocking the cold outlet. If this happens,any one of the following will correct the problem:
(a) Blow air (use an air gun) into thecold 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 VortexTube deteriorates with back pressure on the coldair exhaust. Pressure up to 2 PSIG (.1 BAR) willnot change performance. 5 PSIG (.3 BAR) willchange performance by approximately 5°F (2.8°C).If cold air ducting is used, the total crosssectionalarea should be equal to or greater than the area ofthe Vortex Tube cold air exhaust.If you have any questions or problems, pleasecontact an EXAIR Application Engineer at:1-800-90-EXAIRFax: (513) 671-3363E-mail: [email protected]://www.exair.com

V47 Valve Sizing InformationTo Select Water Valve Size, refer to flow chart
for selection of water valves. Carefully follow the steps as outlined below.1Determine the maximum water flow required. Draw a horizontal line through this flow across the upper half of the flow chart.
2 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.
3 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.
4 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).
5 From this point, draw a vertical line until it intersects the flow line from Step 1.
6 If the intersection falls on a valve size curve, this is the valve size.
7 If the intersection falls between two curves, use the curve to the left for the required valve size.

V46, V47, 246, and 247 Repair Partsand Service Instructions
Application Overview
The V46 pressure-actuated and V47 temperature-actuated water-regulating valves are used forwater-cooled condensers, bypass service onrefrigeration systems, engine cooling, and variousindustrial applications.
IMPORTANT: All Series V46 and V47 valves aredesigned for use only as operatingdevices. Where system closure,improper flow, or loss of pressure dueto valve failure can result in personalinjury and/or loss of property, aseparate pressure relief or safetyshutoff valve (as applicable) must beadded by the user.
Adjustments
To raise the valve opening point on direct-actingvalves, turn the adjusting screw counterclockwise. Tolower the valve opening point, turn the range adjustingscrew clockwise. See Figure 2. The closing point ofthe valve is not adjustable. Pressure-actuated valvesclose approximately 3 to 7 psi (21 to 48 kPa) below theopening point, and temperature-actuated valves closeapproximately 3 to 5°F (1.7 to 2.8°C) below theopening point.
If the compressor operates in high ambienttemperatures, head pressures may remain highenough during off cycles to prevent the valve fromclosing completely. In such instances, the openingpoint of the valve should be raised just enough tocause the valve to close during compressor standbyperiods. This will also raise the throttling point.
The all-range pressure-actuated valve settings can beadjusted for both low pressure refrigerant ranges ofR-134a and higher pressure refrigerant ranges ofR-22 (R-502).
Manual Flushing
To clear any sediment that may accumulate, valvesmay be manually flushed by inserting screwdriversunder both sides of the main spring and lifting upwardsto flush the valve. Manual flushing does not affectvalve adjustments.

Inspection and Service
After long periods of operation, the valve seat andrubber disc may become worn, pitted, or wiredrawn,preventing the valve from completely closing off whenthe pressure/temperature is below the setpoint.
! WARNING: Personal injury hazard .Contents of liquid lines could beunder pressure. Avoid possiblepersonal injury by shutting offthe liquid supply and relievingthe pressure before servicingthe valve.
