Using the KV for other cooling purposes
The KV40 can also be used to provide cooling power in a specific process. Examples are cooling down
liquids more rapidly or lower temperature of a specific process.
The cold finger can be used for this purpose as a “cold spot”. In fluids the finger can be immersed or the
finger can be mounted just to cool down gas in a process.
It is important not to continuously heat the cold finger. Immersing the finger in fluids of over 100
°
C for a
period over more than 2 hours will harm the compressor. The pressure of the cooling gas inside the finger
will raise dramatically due to these high temperatures. This raise in pressure causes the compressor to work
harder and heat up. Overheating on the long term can overheat and severely damage the cold finger on the
long term.
