Using a liquid re-circulator.
The TEC and fan will allow the Eagle V to cool but if you want to run the camera at its optimum of -
95C, you will need to use a Liquid Re-circulator unit. This will help to remove the heat from the hot
side of the sensor. A typical set-up is shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1: Liquid re-circulator set-up
Please consult the Eagle V data sheet for a list of recommended re-circulators and tubing accessories
required. The set-up is as follows:
•
Connect the cooling pipes and tubes to the camera and the pre-filled circulator.
•
Switch on the circulator; you will now see bubbles traveling along the tubing.
•
Wait for the bubbles to bleed into the reservoir, top up the reservoir as required. You should
tilt the camera side to side to ensure there are no bubbles remaining in the camera.
•
Now adjust the Temperature set point on the circulator, for the Eagle V camera 20°C is
preferred.
•
Please ensure the temperature set point of the re-circulator is above your ambient dew point.
Disassembly and draining
•
Disconnect all the tubing from the camera and re-circulator.
•
The camera and tubes should be drained by holding the adaptor with the tubing above the
camera, as per Figure 2.
