Many of the analysis processes used in these fields require Heat exchanger made from stainless steel, Duran glass or
extracting the sample gas. This inevitably also extracts PVDF

These in turn can impact the measurement results or damage Adjustable outlet dew point and alarm thresholds

 TC-MIDI X2
Overview
The TC-MIDI X2 series was designed specifically for high cooling capacities and high ambient temperatures.
The Peltier coolers are distinguished according to cooling capacity/operating temperature. This classification is reflected in the
type designation. The exact item number of the model defined by you is determined by the model code in the category ordering
information.

Operating temperature 40 °C 50 °C

Additional components which every conditioning system should feature can optionally be integrated:
– Peristaltic pump for condensate separation,
– Filter,
– Moisture detector,
– Sample gas pump.
This allows for various configurations of cooler and options. Here the approach is to simplify creating a complete system in a
cost-efficient way through pre-installed components with hoses connected. We further paid attention to easy access to wear
parts and consumables.

Description of functions
The cooler is controlled by a microprocessor. With the factory preset the control already incorporates the various characteristics
of the built-in heat exchangers.
The programmable display shows the block temperature in the selected display unit (°C / °F) (factory preset °C). Application-spe-
cific settings can easily be configured guided by the menu, using the 5 buttons. For one, this applies to the target outlet dew
point, which can be set from 2 to 20 °C (36 °F to 68 °F) (factory preset 5 °C/41 °F).
And then the warning thresholds can be adjusted for low and excess temperature. These are set relative to the outlet dew point
τa setting.
For the low temperature the range is τa -1 to - 3 K (at a minimum 1 °C/ 34 °F cooling block temperature), for the excess temperat-
ure the range is τa +1 to +7 K. The factory presets for both values are 3 K.
The flashing display and the status relays indicate the conditions are below or above the configured warning range (e.g. after
switching on).
The status output can e.g. be used to control the sample gas pump to allow for the gas flow to only be switched on once the per-
missible cooling range has been reached or shut off the pump in the event of a moisture detector alarm.
The separated condensate can be drained via connected peristaltic pumps or add-on automatic condensate drains.
Fine mesh filters can also be used, which in turn can be installed in optional moisture detectors.
The glass dome allows the dirt level of the filter element to easily be determined.
The moisture detector is easy to remove. This may be required if a condensate enters the cooler due to a malfunction and the
peristaltic pump or the automatic condensate drain is unable to remove it.
A P1 gas pump can be attached to the gas cooler, optionally also with bypass valve for regulating the flow. This allows the sample
gas pump to be expanded by a single-leg system, so when equipped with a single heat exchanger or for the respective applica-
tion the two gas paths of the dual heat exchangers are switched in series, for example Cooling 1 – Pump – Cooling 2.

Delta T control option
Not all applications require an outlet dew point of 5 °C (41 °F). In some applications a higher dew point is sufficient. In other ap-
plications a stable outlet dew point doesn’t matter, it’s enough for the gas to be dry, so if the outlet dew point has an adequate
difference in temperature below the ambient temperature.
Here the electronics measure the ambient temperature and regulate the outlet dew point to an adjustable value below it. This
extends the potential cooling capacity to the limits of the heat exchanger. Here it’s important to note the outlet dew point fluc-
tuates along with the ambient temperature and a stable dew point cannot be a prerequisite for the measurement.
The target temperature range is defined by the ambient temperature, the adjustable temperature difference and the alarm lim-
its. If the block temperature is not within the target range with active Delta T-control, the status message "dt" will flash in the
display.
Example: At a difference of 30 °C (30 K/54 °F), at a set outlet dew point of 5 °C (41 °F) this means the dew point remains stable up
to an ambient temperature of approx. 35 °C (95 °F), and the safe drop is only preferred over the ambient temperature with ambi-
ent temperature peaks over 35 °C (95 °F). The cooling capacity specified in the cooling capacity graphs at 35 °C (95 °F) is then
available at above 35 °C (95 °F).

Heat exchanger description
The energy content of the sample gas and the required cooling capacity of the gas cooler is determined by three parameters: gas
temperature ϑG, dew point τe (moisture content) and volume flow v. The outlet dew point rises with increasing energy content of
the gas. The approved energy load from the gas is therefore determined by the tolerated rise in the dew point.
The following limits are specified for a standard operating point of τe = 50 °C and ϑG = 70 °C. The maximum volume flow vmax in
Nl/h of cooled air is indicated, so after moisture has condensed.
If the values fall below τe and ϑG, the flow vmax may be increased. For example, on the TG heat exchanger the parameter triple
τe = 40 °C, ϑG = 70 °C and v = 425 Nl/h may also be used in place of τe = 50 °C, ϑG = 70 °C and v = 345 Nl/h.
Please contact our experts for clarification or refer to our design program.
