Compressed Air Cooler

Extreme heat can inhibit fiber optic cable installation and damage fiber optic cable and duct. When cable blowing, air is compressed and heat is generated. For example, air that enters a compressor at 100°F (37°C) exits the compressor at 350°F (176°C).

At this temperature, fiber optic cable jacket and duct softening can occur. Heat problems can also occur if the duct run is exposed to direct sunlight. The Condux Compressed Air Cooler can help prevent head damage to fiber optic cable and duct during cable blowing operations.

The Condux Compressed Air Cooler cools compressed air from a maximum temperature of 350°F (176°C), to within 20°F (11°C) of the ambient temperature. For example, if the ambient temperature is 100°F (37°C), air from the air compressor enters the air cooler at 350°F (176°C). That air will leave the cooler at approximately 120°F (49°C). Cooling the air reduces the chances of heat damage to the cable and duct. The Condux Compressed Air Cooler also removes moisture from the air. Water from humid air can dilute cable blowing lubricant and collect in the duct run.

Use of the Condux Compressed Air Cooler is recommended when ambient air temperatures reach 90°F (32°C) or more and / or the duct is exposed to direct sunlight.

Minimum ambient operating temperature: 35°F (1°C) Maximum inlet operating temperature: 350°F (176°C) Maximum operating pressure: 250 psi (17 bar)
