Page 9: Preface
Thermoelectric Gas Cooler! These units are robust, single-stage gas coolers that effectively remove condensate from the sample gas and delivering dry gas to the analyzer. The TEC-1612 is designed to be mounted on a wall or in a rack. The TEP-1612 portable model is designed to be used as a stand-alone unit or coupled with our ACC-1610 Air-Cooled Condenser. -
