Page 4: Cooler System Information
Cooler system. Operational Summary The SGC-4000 unit is based around a Free Piston Stirling Cooler (FPSC). The FPSC constantly cools the input gas flow path through a common aluminum manifold (heat exchanger). Using an integrated block heater and a temperature controller the output gas temperature can be accurately controlled. -
