Figure 18 Cooling Set Dimensions in mm
The cooling set consists of a cooling element and removable cooling
fins. The cooling fins are meant to be installed in applications where
the process temperature and dewpoint are continuously in the range
indicated in Figure 19 on page 32 (Measurement Ranges for Using
and Not Using the Cooling Fins). However, if there is a possibility
that the dewpoint is above this range, the measurements have to be
taken without the cooling fins in order to avoid condensation. The
flow rate and ambient temperature have an effect on the cooling rate.
In Figure 19, it is assumed that ambient temperature is +25 °C. When
ambient temperature is raised by +10 °C, the measurement ranges
with and without cooling fins rise approximately +6 °C.
Correspondingly, every -10 °C change in ambient temperature
changes the ranges by approximately -6 °C. It is recommended that
after installing the transmitter without the cooling fins, the transmitter
is allowed to stabilize and then the SSR reading is checked either from
the local display or with a terminal connected to an RS line. If the
SSR reading is below 20 %, it is recommended that the cooling fins
are installed.
NOTE
Make sure that the upper limit of the dewpoint measurement range is
not exceeded in low temperatures as this would lead to condensation.
