Figure 3.13: Installation of Air / Inert Gas Cooling for the
ViscoSite Transducer
There is no hermetic seal within the dome to isolate sensitive
transducer components, as this would hamper cooling.
The cooling air
or inert gas MUST be dry and free of contaminants.
Moisture or other contaminants in cooling air / inert gas may cause
damage to or malfunction of the transducer. This damage is NOT
covered by your warranty.
Transducer Cooling - Water
If the process temperature is such that the block/dome temperature
would
reach 300 °C
–
450 °C without additional cooling, water cooling
is
required
to keep the block/dome temperature at or below 200 °C. Low
pressure water is generally sufficient to keep block/dome temperatures
at a suitable level (at or below 200 °C.) Adjust the water pressure and
flow rate to the minimum pressure and flow rate required to maintain
the transducer dome/block at or below 200 °C.
Water cooling connection locations on the transducer dome are
shipped with plugs installed in place of the required fittings to prevent
exposure of the transducer cooling channel to contaminants and
moisture (including ambient air) during shipping.
