TC-MINI
4 Installation and connection
4.1 Installation site requirements
The unit is only intended for wall-mounted use in enclosed areas. Adequate protection from the weather must be provided
when used outdoors.
Install the unit leaving enough room below the cooler to discharge the condensate. Leave room above for the gas supply.
Be sure to maintain the approved ambient temperature. Do not obstruct the convection of the cooler. The vents must have
enough room to the next obstacle. The distance must especially be a minimum of 10 cm on the air outlet side.
Ensure adequate ventilation when installing in enclosed housings, e.g. analyser cabinets. If the convection is inadequate, we re-
commend aerating the cabinet or installing a fan to lower the inside temperature.
When wall mounting the sample gas cooler, be sure the wall or the cabinet provide adequate weight bearing and stability.
4.2 Installation
Run the gas supply to the cooler with a downward slope. The gas inputs are marked in red and additionally labelled "IN".
If a large amount of condensate accumulates, we recommend using a condensate trap with automatic condensate drain. Our
condensate drains, 11 LD V38, AK 20, AK 5.5 OR AK 5.2, are suitable.
Glass vessels and automatic condensate drains are available for draining condensate for external mounting below the unit.
When using automatic condensate drains, the sample gas pump must be installed upstream of the cooler (pressure operation)
to ensure proper function of the condensate drain.
If the sample gas pump is located at the cooler outlet (suction operation), we recommend using glass condensate traps or peri-
staltic pumps.
Connecting the condensate drains
Depending on the material, build a connecting line with fittings and tubing or hose between the heat exchanger and condens-
ate drain. For stainless steel the condensate drain can be suspended directly to the connecting tube, for hoses the condensate
drain must be secured separately using a clamp.
The condensate drain can be mounted directly to the heat exchanger.
Condensate lines must always be installed with a slope and a minimum inside diameter of DN 8/10 (5/16"), with passive dis-
charge via traps or automatic condensate drains. Use screw joints with a minimum inner span of 7 mm, sold separately as ac-
cessories. The MTG heat exchanger in glass cannot be operated in conjunction with an automatic condensate drain.
Connecting the heat exchanger
The gas inputs are marked in red.
On glass heat exchangers the correct position of the seal is important when connecting the gas lines (see image). The seal con-
sists of a silicone ring with a PTFE sleeve. The PTFE side must face the glass thread.
