This section contains information on Cleaver-Brooks sample coolers. The Model SC22 and SC42 Sample Coolers
are used to cool boiler water samples under pressure so that an accurate sampling can be made. When boiler
water samples are taken without being properly cooled (while under boiler pressure), as much as 20% of the
sample can flash to steam, causing inaccurate measurement of boiler water quality.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Heavy Duty All Stainless Steel Wetted Parts:

• SC-22 cools boiler water samples up to 635 °F and 2000 psig.
• SC-42 cools boiler water samples up to 1000 °F and 5000 psig.

True Counterflow Cooling:

• Effective baffling on the shell side produces full counter flow with high cooling
water flow and minimum pressure drop, vibration and scaling.
• Proper temperature achieved.

Compact Design:
• SC-22 3-9/16" square x 5-1/2" long compact size. Easily mounted in cooling
water piping without using brackets or special supports.
• SC-42 3-9/16” square x 11-1/4” long mounted in cooling water piping without
using brackets or special supports.

Stainless Steel Coil:

• Single continuous tube with no joints assures long, maintenance free operation.

Removable Shell:
• Shell can be easily removed for inspection and/or cleaning without
disconnecting sample water lines.

Lowest Cost:
• Largest heat transfer surface per unit of cost of any sample coolers.

PRODUCT OFFERING
The sample cooler is a low-pressure-drop system for monitoring boiler water quality
without shutting down the boiler system. A simple, compact design cools samples
with minimum disturbance to system pressure. The 316 stainless steel tubing is a
continuous, jointless, coil arrangement. Tubing is maintenance-free
The design has baffling on the shell side to achieve high cooling water flow,
minimizing pressure drop, vibration and scaling. The shell can be easily removed for
inspection and/or cleaning without disconnecting sample or water lines.

SC-22
Rated for 635 °F at 2000 psig. Shell is 304 stainless steel, rated at 450 °F, 250
psig.

Model SC Sample Coolers

SC-42
Rated for 1000 °F at 5000 psig. Shell is 304 stainless steel, rated at 650 °F, 450
psig.

SC-22 Panel
The SC-22 is available in a pre-assembled panel mounted kit including:
• Stainless steel mounting panel
• Cooling water inlet and outlet valves
• Sample inlet metering valve and isolation valve
• Stainless steel sink with drain

DIMENSIONS AND RATINGS

Dimensions for Model SC-22 are shown in Figure H14-1, and for the SC-22 Panel
in Figure 2. Figure 4 shows dimensions for Model SC-42. Ratings are shown in
Table 1.

ENGINEERING DATA
Refer to Figure 3 (SC-22) and Figure 5 (SC-42) for performance curves. These
diagrams show the relationship of outgoing sample temperature to incoming cooling
water temperature for various sample temperatures (diagonal lines) and flow rates.
Example: The water sample is 1/4 gpm (946 cc/min) at 400 °F and is to be cooled
to less than 100 °F and the cooling water is 95 °F. Follow the dotted line at 0.25
gpm to 400 °F inlet temperature. Read 18 °F temperature approach. Sample
pressure drop will be approximately 6.5 psig. Sample will cool to 88 °F, (70 °F
coolant + 18 °F approach).
