Gas Cooler RCI 100

The Gas Cooler RCI 100 redu­ces the humi­di­ty in the gas flow and pre­cis­e­ly lowers the dew point. This pro­tects your ana­ly­sis devices from con­den­sa­ti­on dama­ge and ensu­res relia­ble mea­su­re­ment results.

The Gas Cooler RCI 100 offers you a relia­ble solu­ti­on for the effec­ti­ve rem­oval of mois­tu­re from gas samples and comes in a wall-moun­ted or flo­or-stan­ding housing. Thanks to its com­pact housing for­mat, it is par­ti­cu­lar­ly ver­sa­ti­le and can be easi­ly inte­gra­ted into exis­ting infra­struc­tu­re. By effi­ci­ent­ly dry­ing the gas samples, the RCI 100 relia­bly pro­tects your ana­ly­sis devices from cor­ro­si­on and con­ta­mi­na­ti­on, exten­ding the ser­vice life of the devices and redu­cing main­ten­an­ce cos­ts.

The RCI 100 gas coo­ler impres­ses with its powerful func­tions and ease of use:

  • Long-term sta­ble and adjus­ta­ble block tem­pe­ra­tu­re, which ensu­res con­stant coo­ling per­for­mance even under deman­ding con­di­ti­ons.
  • Highly effec­ti­ve thanks to intel­li­gent coo­ling regu­la­ti­on in con­junc­tion with a tem­pe­ra­tu­re sen­sor, which ensu­res opti­mum dry­ing even at high gas flow rates.
  • Easy main­ten­an­ce The heat exch­an­ger is made of dura­ble Duran glass and can be easi­ly remo­ved for clea­ning.
  • Temperature and humi­di­ty moni­to­ring to regu­la­te the coo­ling capa­ci­ty and con­trol the con­den­sa­te sepa­ra­tor

Checking the dew point

Reliable gas ana­ly­sis depends cru­ci­al­ly on con­trol­ling the dew point. The Gas Cooler RCI 100 ensu­res long-term sta­bi­li­ty of the gas samples, regard­less of the ambi­ent con­di­ti­ons. This gives you the con­sis­t­ent­ly accu­ra­te mea­su­re­ment results that your sys­tems depend on.

Maximum mois­tu­re reduc­tion

Our exper­ti­se gua­ran­tees maxi­mum mois­tu­re reduc­tion while mini­mi­zing the washout effect to ensu­re pre­cise and relia­ble mea­su­re­ment results.

Versatile use in various indus­tries

Whether in the phar­maceu­ti­cal indus­try, recy­cling plants or refi­ne­ries – gas coo­lers such as the RCI 100 are indis­pensable whe­re­ver pre­cise mea­su­re­ment results are requi­red with a high mois­tu­re con­tent in the sam­ple gas flow. With its robust con­s­truc­tion and modu­lar design, it sim­pli­fies main­ten­an­ce and ensu­res that your pro­ces­ses run smooth­ly.

Optimized per­for­mance and lower main­ten­an­ce cos­ts

Thanks to the mini­miza­ti­on of resi­du­al mois­tu­re to just 0.86% by volu­me, the RCI 100 pro­tects your sen­sors and ana­ly­sis devices from con­ta­mi­na­ti­on and dama­ge. This leads to a lon­ger ser­vice life of the devices, lower main­ten­an­ce cos­ts and mini­mi­zed pro­duc­tion down­ti­me – which signi­fi­cant­ly increa­ses the pro­duc­ti­vi­ty of your ope­ra­ti­on.

FAQ

What is the dif­fe­rence bet­ween the RCI 500, RCI 700 and RCI 100 gas coo­lers?

  • RCI 500: This gas coo­ler comes in a slide-in housing for a sys­tem cabi­net and pro­ces­ses a sam­ple gas flow. It is ide­al for appli­ca­ti­ons whe­re effec­ti­ve coo­ling and dry­ing of a gas flow is requi­red.
  • RCI 700: The RCI 700 also comes in a slide-in housing and is desi­gned to pro­cess two sam­ple gas flows.
  • RCI 100: This com­pact gas coo­ler is desi­gned for flo­or or wall moun­ting and is ide­al if no sys­tem cabi­net is requi­red. It pro­ces­ses one gas flow.

All devices offer a maxi­mum coo­ling capa­ci­ty of 90 kJ/h and a volu­me flow of up to 260 l/h per sam­ple gas flow.

What does the washout effect mean?

In mea­su­re­ment tech­no­lo­gy and gas con­di­tio­ning, the washout effect refers to the unde­si­ra­ble washing out of gas com­pon­ents by mois­tu­re or liquids.

  • Components can be washed out when mois­tu­re is remo­ved.
  • This can fal­si­fy the con­cen­tra­ti­on of cer­tain gases in the mea­su­red sam­ple becau­se they are par­ti­al­ly remo­ved or atte­nu­a­ted.
  • This leads to inac­cu­ra­te mea­su­re­ment results and can fal­si­fy the ana­ly­sis.

Thanks to our exper­ti­se and effec­ti­ve dry­ing of the gases, the washout effect can be mini­mi­zed with our gas coo­lers so that the ori­gi­nal gas com­po­si­ti­on remains as unch­an­ged as pos­si­ble and pre­cise mea­su­re­ment results are achie­ved.

Which indus­tries bene­fit from the RCI 500, RCI 700 and RCI 100 gas coo­lers?

These gas coo­lers are used in a varie­ty of indus­tries:

  • Process indus­try
  • Pharmaceutical indus­try
  • Refineries
  • Recycling plants
  • Environmental ana­ly­sis
  • Laboratories

Gas coo­lers play a cen­tral role, espe­ci­al­ly in are­as whe­re pre­cise mea­su­re­ments and gas con­di­tio­ning are requi­red.

How easy is it to main­tain the gas coo­lers?

Maintenance of the gas coo­lers is simp­le and user-fri­end­ly. The heat exch­an­ger is made of dura­ble Duran glass and can be easi­ly remo­ved for clea­ning pur­po­ses. There is also a peris­tal­tic pump for con­den­sa­te drai­na­ge, which is also easy to main­tain. This gua­ran­tees a long ser­vice life and relia­ble ope­ra­ti­on.

How high is the resi­du­al mois­tu­re after coo­ling?

The resi­du­al mois­tu­re of the RCI 100, RCI 500 and RCI 700 gas coo­lers is only 0.86 % by volu­me, which cor­re­sponds to a dew point of 5 °C.

What inter­faces do the gas coo­lers offer?

The RCI 500, RCI 700 and RCI 100 models have various modern inter­faces for easy inte­gra­ti­on into exis­ting sys­tems:

  • Standard: RS232 inter­face
  • Optional: Profibus DP, Modbus TCP, Profinet, Ethernet IP
  • Configurable ana­log out­puts: 4-20 mA for a fle­xi­ble appli­ca­ti­on.

Is the­re a war­ran­ty on the gas coo­lers?

The gas coo­lers are "Made in Germany" and are sub­ject to strict qua­li­ty con­trols. You can rely on a long ser­vice life and relia­ble ser­vice. You can find out more about the war­ran­ty and after-sales ser­vice on our ser­vice page and via our cont­act form.

Is the­re ser­vice and sup­port?

We offer com­pre­hen­si­ve ser­vices for all gas coo­lers. This includes regu­lar main­ten­an­ce, the sup­p­ly of spa­re parts and tech­ni­cal sup­port. Contact the ser­vice depart­ment for a cus­to­mi­zed ser­vice agree­ment tail­o­red to your requi­re­ments.
