C: PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Thank you for purchasing a Perma Pure Baldwin™-Series eCOOL™ 5000XP Series
Digital Thermo-Electric Cooler CSA-C and CSA-US certified for Class I Division 2

Groups A,B,C,D hazardous locations. The eCOOL™ 5000XP Series has numerous

features including:
 Remote monitoring and control of heated filter probe, heated sample line, and sample

conditioning system.

 eCOOL

Local Area Network.

 A jumbo 2-line LCD display with multi-colored LED’s provides easy local monitoring and

control of your sample handling system.

 Alarm notification of over / under temperature, thermocouple failure, and water slip

(moisture carryover).

 Alarm relay shuts off the sample pump to protect expensive analyzers from water slip

(moisture carryover).

 Eliminates the cost and complexity of separate temperature controllers such as for a

heated sample line and filter probe.

 Extra thermocouple inputs and outputs available.
 Operates with 110/120VAC, 220/240VAC, 12VDC, 15VDC, or 24VDC.
 Field friendly, requires virtually no maintenance, and is backed by our 1-year limited

warranty.

All Baldwin-Series coolers use thermo-electric elements (Peltiers) to cool the sample
gas to the desired dew point temperature. A thermo-electric cooler is best illustrated
as a small heat pump with no
moving parts. The Peltiers
operate on direct current and
may be used for heating or
cooling by reversing the
direction of current flow. This is
achieved by moving heat from
one side of the module to the
other with current flow and the
laws of thermodynamics. A
typical single stage Peltier
(figure 1) consists of two
ceramic plates with p- and n­type semiconductor material
(bismuth telluride) between the

™

interface software included for monitoring and control over the Internet or a

plates. The elements of
semiconductor material are
connected electrically in series and thermally in parallel.

Section C: Principle of Operation 5

Figure 2: Heat Exchanger, Impinger and Heat Sink Assembly

When a positive DC voltage is applied to the n-type thermo-electric element,
electrons pass from the p- to the n-type thermo-electric element and the cold side
temperature will decrease as heat is absorbed. The heat absorption (cooling) is
proportional to the current and the number of thermo-electric couples. This heat is
transferred to the hot side of the Peltier element where it is dissipated into the heat
sink and surrounding environment.

Baldwin™-Series Thermo-Electric Coolers remove the moisture from the sample gas
by cooling the gas as it passes through a laminar impinger (heat exchanger). A
diagram showing the gas flow path through an impinger is shown in the Appendix.
The heat exchanger, made of 316L stainless steel, Durinert® (a corrosion-resistant
inert coating over 316L stainless steel), PVDF (Kynar®), or glass, is mounted within
a thermally insulated heat transfer block bored to receive the heat exchanger without
a mechanical lock. This assembly allows the easy removal of any heat exchanger
simply by slipping it out of the cooling block by hand. The heat transfer block cools
the heat exchanger through the heat pumping action of the peltier element. The
heat transfer block is on the cold side of the thermo-electric element and the heat
sink is on the hot side of the thermo-electric element. The heat from the heat
transfer block is pumped to the heat sink where it is then dissipated into the air by
the heat sink fan. See figure 2. The desired temperature is maintained by a closed
loop control system, which is implemented through a proportional controller. The
controller uses a type K thermocouple in the heat transfer block located very close to
the cold side of the peltier element as the input sensor.

Section C: Principle of Operation 6

The sample gas is passed to the thermo-electric cooler via the heated filter sample
probe and heated sample line. The thermo-electric cooler lowers the sample dew
point to 5°C (41°F). As the gas cools and the moisture vapor condenses, the
condensate exits the heat exchanger through the bottom drain connection.
Particulate matter which passes through the sample cooler is removed by an
optional Perma Pure pre-filter, located downstream from the cooler along with an
optional water slip sensor. The conditioned sample gas can then be directed to the
gas analyzers.
