Instruction Manual 1221 Distillation Sample Probe The Model 1221EX Distillation Probe utilizes a countercurrent flow technique for cooling of the sample. Cooling medium flows in opposite direction of the process gas on the outside of the distillation column. Heat is conducted through the column wall and then transferred to the cooling medium.

Instruction Manual 1221 Distillation Sample Probe Various Separator Discs When the sample gas enters the first stage of the probe, the gas and separator will be at its highest operating temperature. This is due to the counter current flow design of the sample (upwards) vs. the flow of the cooling medium (downwards).
Instruction Manual 1221 Distillation Sample Probe 4.0 Installation Proper installation of the Model 1221 Distillation Probe will ensure optimum performance for the equipment and the analytical measurement technique of choice. For the best performance, the probe should be mounted on a horizontal process line with an isolation valve located between the process and the probe.
Instruction Manual 1221 Distillation Sample Probe 4.1 Utilities The vortex air cooled probes, the following requirements apply: • Inlet air pressure > 100 psig (80 psig minimum) at the probe • Inlet air dew point recommended < -40°F • Instrument air required to power the vortex = 40 SCFM (single vortex) and 80 SCFM (dual vortex) •...
Instruction Manual 1221 Distillation Sample Probe 5.0 Probe Controllers The primary task of the Model 1221 Distillation Probe is to cool the sample gas to a desired temperature. The sample setpoint determines the average temperature of the sample gas and is programmed in degrees Fahrenheit. Basic operation is to enable cooling when the gas temperature is above the desired setpoint and disable cooling when it drops below the setpoint.
Instruction Manual 1221 Distillation Sample Probe 5.1.2 Pneumatic Controller Operation The pneumatic controller / vortex requires dry instrument air or N2 with a dew point of less than -40°F at a pressure of 80-100 psig. Each vortex tube requires 40 SCFM while in operation. Instrument air enters the system and is sent in two different directions.
Instruction Manual 1221 Distillation Sample Probe 5.2 Electronic Controllers Electronically controlled probes have tighter accuracy around the sample setpoint than the pneumatic controllers, on average about +/- 1°C. Electric power is required, limiting the controllers to Class I, Division 2 hazardous areas and general-purpose applications.
Instruction Manual 1221 Distillation Sample Probe 5.2.2 Electronic Controller Overview All electronic controllers are based on the IDEC microSmart FC6A PLC. Input Connections SD Card and ON/OFF Switch Status Indicators Power Connection Output Power Connection Output Connections RTDs are connected to the PLC via an FC6A-J4CN1, 4 channel input module, located to the right of the PLC. Sensors are connected to the module as follows: Module Power Connection...
Instruction Manual 1221 Distillation Sample Probe 5.2.3 HMI Display and Operation The IDEC FC6A-PH1 provides local control and display, and is located on the left side of the PLC. The Ethernet port located on the bottom side of this module is programmed at the factory: 192.168.1.25. This connection may be used to view and control the PLC from a remote computer but does not communicate Modbus values and is not practical for usage by most customers.
Instruction Manual 1221 Distillation Sample Probe 5.2.4 Network and Status Display The FC6A-PH1 has an internal system menu, which displays current information for registers, as well as network. To access the system menu, press [ESC-HOLD] + [OK-HOLD] at the same time. The [ESC] button should be pressed slightly before the [OK] button is pressed.
Instruction Manual 1221 Distillation Sample Probe 5.2.6 Sample Isolation Valve Manual Operation Screen The sample isolation valve in an electronically controlled probe is a normally closed valve. It requires both power/signal from the PLC and the required air pressure to open the valve to allow sample to flow. The valve will close with loss of either power or air pressure.

Instruction Manual 1221 Distillation Sample Probe The COOLANT ON timer should be set to expire while the sample temperature is still above the sample setpoint. The sample temperature should continue to drop below the sample setpoint. Once the COOLANT ON timer expires, the COOLANT OFF timer begins. It is expected that the sample temperature drops below the sample setpoint before the COOLANT OFF timer expires.
Instruction Manual 1221 Distillation Sample Probe 5.2.10 Enclosure Temperatures Screens The enclosure temperature RTD monitors the ambient temperature around the PLC. This is most applicable when the PLC is mounted in the field with locally controlled (LC) probes. This measurement can be critical if ambient temperatures fall outside the operating temperature range of the PLC.
