Compressed Air Cooler | Fiber Optic Installation
Compressed Air Cooler for Fiber Optic Cable Installation — Product Overview
The Compressed Air Cooler, Condux part number 08761700, is designed to help reduce compressed-air temperatures during fiber optic cable blowing operations. Excessive heat can soften fiber optic cable jackets and duct materials, potentially affecting installation performance.
The cooler reduces compressed air from a maximum inlet temperature of 350°F (176°C) to within 20°F (11°C) of ambient temperature. For example, when ambient temperature is 100°F (37°C), air entering at 350°F (176°C) can leave the cooler at approximately 120°F (49°C).
In addition to cooling the air, the unit removes moisture from the compressed-air stream. This helps reduce water accumulation inside the duct and minimizes dilution of cable blowing lubricant.
Condux recommends using the cooler when ambient temperatures reach 90°F (32°C) or higher, or when the duct is exposed to direct sunlight.
Key Features
- Compressed Air Cooling: Reduces inlet air temperatures up to 350°F (176°C) to within 20°F (11°C) of ambient temperature.
- Fiber Optic Cable Protection: Helps reduce the risk of heat damage to cable jackets and duct materials during cable blowing.
- Moisture Removal: Removes moisture from compressed air to help reduce water accumulation in duct runs.
- Lubricant Protection: Helps minimize dilution of cable blowing lubricant caused by moisture in the air stream.
- Hot-Weather Applications: Recommended at ambient temperatures of 90°F (32°C) or higher, or when ducts are exposed to direct sunlight.
- Operating Temperature Range: Minimum ambient operating temperature of 35°F (1°C) and maximum inlet temperature of 350°F (176°C).
- Operating Pressure: Maximum operating pressure of 250 PSI (17 bar).
- Pair With: Gulfstream 400 Fiber Optic Cable Blower LINK, Gulfstream 350 Pneumatic Blower LINK
