April 19, 2009 - Toronto, Ontario - The Winters SCT Series Cooling Tower is designed specifically to protect pressure instruments in high temperature applications. It works by utilizing “heat exchange” technology in the same way radiators do. The cooling tower is mounted in between the pressure measuring instrument and process. Hot media from the process will flow through the cooling tower’s stainless steel spiral capillary. As it does, air will circulate through the cooling tower’s vented body, passing over the capillary.
Heat transfer from the capillary to the air will occur, lowering the temperature of the media before it arrives at the top of the cooling tower and instrument. Winters’ SCT Series Cooling Tower can significantly reduce media temperature, thus protecting the instrument and extending its service life. It is suitable for media temperatures up to 300°C (570°F), and may lower them by as much as 260°C (500°F) depending on the ambient temperature. The cooling tower can be used with a diaphragm seal.
