Gas Chromatography System:
TECA Model AHP-1801XPHC-1 Thermoelectric Air Conditioner is used to enable the safe installation of a gas chromatography system into hazardous locations. Most installations are rated Class 1, Groups C & D, Division II. However in some cases the installations require Group B and/or Group A. TECA’s AHP-1801XPHC-1 maintains the interior of the Process Analyzer Enclosure at a control temperature of around 70o °F. It meets the various requirements of all the installation environments.
This system is installed in Refining, Petrochemical, Upstream and other applications requiring the aforementioned safety ratings. Controlling the temperature of the equipment enclosure rather than the entire shelter allows for far more economical plant installations even in very cold or very hot environments.

These units have been in operation for more than 2 years without maintenance, without downtime. This says a lot about the capability and capacity of the TECA product in a tough environment. And the analyzers have performed flawlessly delivering control quality composition data to the plant process control computer.
