Gas cooler series RC 1.1 -H2/-O2 new

Gas cooler series RC 1.1 -H2/-O2 new

  • For applications with high-purity hydrogen or oxygen.
  • Cleaning standard is based on EIGA Doc 33/18 as regards the absence of particles, oils and fats for heat exchangers with the O2 version.
  • Materials in contact with media are suitability-tested for high H₂  and O₂  concentrations
  • Heat exchanger leak tests using helium are performed on the H₂  series as standard
  • Efficient cooling with a nominal output of 360 kJ/h
  • Ambient temperature from +5 °C to +50 °C
  • Adjustable outlet dew point and alarm thresholds
  • Future-proof and climate-friendly: Use of natural refrigerants instead of HFC refrigerants
  • Option: Signal output 4 - 20 mA for function and temperature monitoring
  • Option: Digital output (Modbus RTU) for device configuration and access to process and diagnostic data

When powerful cooling is required, the RC 1.1 with the heat exchanger -H2/-O2 is the ideal solution for reliable cooling of hydrogen (H₂) and oxygen (O₂) in extractive gas analysis. For this reason, the moist sample gas is cooled below the dew point in the sample gas cooler, causing the moisture to condense so it can be removed from the system.

As well as material-refining measures to prevent hydrogen- induced component damage, the heat exchangers for the H₂ series are subjected to a leak test using helium. For the O₂ version, special cleaning processes are used to remove particles, oils and fats from parts coming into contact with media. The contamination limits are based on the internationally used and applicable guideline EIGA Doc 33/18 ”Cleaning of Equipment for Oxygen Service”.

The natural refrigerant R600a meets the requirements of EU Regulation (EU) 2024/573 and is a very environmentally friendly solution thanks to the reduction in CO₂ emissions. At the same time, it ensures the future-proof operation of your systems that comply with legal requirements in the long term.
