Introduction
Description
The Model CC-100 Coolant Circulator is a universal water-to-air heat exchanger. It
transfers heat from any heat source into the air. It was designed primarily for removing
heat from thermoelectrically cooled CCD cameras. A magnetic drive coolant pump
circulates coolant to the CCD camera (or any other heat source). This coolant passes
through the hot side of the camera, which raises the temperature of the coolant. The
heated coolant is then returned to the radiator of the CC-100. An internal fan forces air
through the radiator reducing the temperature of the coolant by convection. The coolant
then returns to the pump and repeats the cycle. This efficient closed cycle process can
maintain the temperature of the coolant within a few degrees above ambient temperature.
Specifications
Note:
All test data and specifications shown are based on pumping water and are
guidelines only. Specifications will vary depending on specific fluid, temperatures, and
other operating conditions.
Coolant:
Water, water/ethylene glycol (50% solution), automotive antifreeze and other
inert liquids with viscosity approximately that of water.
Capacity:
Approximately 0.9 quart ( 0.85 liter), exclusive of external coolant lines and
device to be cooled.
Pressure and Flow
Maximum head pressure 13 feet (4 meters), 6.38 PSI ( 44 kPa), with zero
flow.
Maximum flow is 5 gallons per minute (19 liters/min) with zero head pressure.
A flow rate of 1 gallon per minute (3.8 liters/min at 5 PSI (34.5 kPa).
In a typical application with 20 feet (6 meters) of 3/16 (4.76 mm) I.D. polyurethane
tube, and 8 Swagelock quick connect connectors. The flow rate will be 1 pint per
minute ( 0.5 liters/min).
In a typical application with 20 feet (6 meters) of 3/16 (4.78mm) I.D. polyurethane tube
with only tube connectors. The flow rate will be 1 quart per minute ( 0.95 l/min).
