Water Cooling Sampler With Removable Coil.

Many industrial operations utilize water for cooling that has a high degree of foulants or contaminants which can coat the outside of a cooling coil. When this happens the heat transfer is drastically reduced and it takes longer to draw a representative sample. There are 2 options;

1- Throw the sample cooler away and purchase a new one, or
2- Purchase a cooler that has a removable coil so it can be cleaned.
Obviously, the removable coil is the better choice.
The Model RR Sample Cooler has a 316 stainless steel coil and it is held in place using a victaulic coupling for easy removal and cleaning.
Most customers find it beneficial to keep an extra coil on hand so they can continue sampling, boilers, condensate, feedwater, or process water while one is being cleaned.
Removal and installation of the new coil takes about 5 minutes. There are only 2 nuts on the coupling.
Take them off, pull the old coil out, put the new one in, re-attach the coupling and you're back up and testing your water again.
Coil, Shell, and Coupling

There are options for the materials of construction on the coil and the shell, depending on your particular application.
This particular unit is being shipped to a large plastics manufacturing facility that uses river water to cool the boiler sample in their power plant.

These units are inexpensive and a very practical tool in optimizing a treatment program.
