GENESIS AIR/NITROGEN PRODUCT COOLERS WITH FILTERLESS FLUX AND FLOW MANAGEMENT

Traditional Recirculated Gas Cooling vs. Genesis Cooling

The traditional method for recirculated gas cooling has been based on liquid-to-gas heat exchange technology. In such systems, special fluids are continuously circulated and chilled. To affect heat exchange gas is passed through closely spaced "fins" that have been mounted to "car like" radiators mounted within the cooling zone. After the recirculating gas is cooled, it then impinges upon the product and removes its heat.

There are several major deficiencies associated with the use of this method. First, the recirculating heat exchange fluid is largely ethylene glycol. This material is a hazardous waste. Second, the chilling/circulating unit required is expensive and has a high operating cost. And finally, as the recirculating is passed through the tightly spaced fins, flux aerosols rapidly condense and precipitate on their surfaces. In short order the fins become clogged and product cooling efficiency is rapidly lost. Depending upon the flux used, total clogging can occur in a matter of days or weeks. Time-consuming cleaning maintenance is all that can be done to correct the problem. This can take hours!

Genesis Gas-to-Gas Heat Exchange Cooling: The Ultimate in High Performance, Low Maintenance Cooling

Conceptronic’s Genesisä , cooling modules (patents pending) represent a quantum leap in air/nitrogen cooling technology. Genesis systems utilize specially designed "gas-to-gas" heat exchangers that require NO hazardous liquids or closed-loop chillers! In addition, the standard "filterless" flux and flow management technology they incorporate provides more consistent performance, reduce cost-of-operation and reduce cleaning time.

A - Metallized Heat Exchange Surface.
B - Recirculating Flow Path (internal).
C - Ambient flow Path.
D - Flux "Collection" Region.
E - Widely-Spaced Pleats.
F - Flux Collection Surface.

Genesisä heat exchangers incorporate widely spaced "pleats" rather than "fins". In operation, internal recirculating gas constantly collides with one heat exchange surface while "cold" ambient air extracts heat as collides with the over side. And, both flow paths are physically sealed from one another. Thus, nitrogen-rich chamber gas cannot be contaminated by oxygen-rich gas in the ambient flow path.

Together with the excess thermal capacity of each heat exchanger, efficient flux and flow management is ensured WITHOUT USING PROBLEMATIC FILTERS OR BURNOFF SYSTEMS. As a result, the critical "solder liquidous interval" is maintained far more consistently than any traditional liquid-based heat exchange cooling system. In fact, typical cleaning intervals vary between 2 and 4 times per year – not days or weeks!

When cleaning is necessary, Genesisä components are interchangeable and incorporate "quick-release" clamps for rapid removal and replacement. This facilitates quick maintenance and minimum downtime
