Connection & Start-up
The Classic Tester’s Choice portable sample conditioning system should be set up away from
any heat sources in a well vented area.
The system can only be operated in an upright position. The conditioning system must not be
set up at an angle greater than 30° from vertical.
NOTE: The operational stability of the cooler dew point is influenced by the
stability of the ambient temperature.
For proper operation, the ambient temperature cannot exceed 43°C (110°F). At, or close to the
maximum ambient temperature, the cooler will not be able to control the temperature to
reduce the dew point of the sample gas to the 5°C set point. This will result in compromised
operation and water slip or carryover, possibly into the analyzer.
The Tester’s Choice portable sample conditioning system can be either used for intermittent or
continuous operation. It is designed for accurate, repeatable and precise gas sample
conditioning that can be effectively carried out nearly anyplace and at anytime. This unit is also
designed to require only a minimum amount of maintenance to maximize its operation.
Sample and Drain Connections
1. Connect a suitable condensate drain line to the connector on bottom of unit.
NOTE: Do not reduce the size of the condensate tubing since doing so restricts water
flow resulting in water carryover into the sample.
2. Run the external drain line to appropriate drain receptacle.
Drain condensate can be potentially hazardous. Always make sure that proper
precautions are taken regarding personal protective equipment when handling
condensate.
3. Connect the sample line to the stainless steel sample inlet compression fittings on the
rear of the unit. See figure 3.
NOTE: If using stainless steel sample line, place 2 inches of Teflon tubing in between
the exchanger inlet fitting and the heated line. This prevents the sample cooler from
heat sinking the incoming heated line, which adds undue load to the cooler.
