Scanner Insulating Jacket

Insulating Jackets and Vortex-Tube Cooler Kits for High-Temperature Scanner Applications

In high ambient temperature environments, the cooling air applied to the scanner's 3/8” port may struggle to maintain the scanner's temperature within published operational limits. An effective solution involves installing the scanner within an insulating jacket and air-purging the space between the jacket and the scanner.

The flexible, quilted jackets are designed to wrap around the scanner securely using hook & loop seam fasteners. The jackets feature designated holes for scanner cable entry, 1" sight-pipe entry, and vortex-tube cooling air access. Additionally, a rear flap allows users to view the back of the scanner when necessary.

Vortex-Tube Cooler Kit: P/N 60-2720

For additional cooling, the Vortex-Tube Cooler Kit (P/N 60-2720) offers an efficient way to generate and distribute chilled air between the insulating jacket and scanner. The vortex tube uses ordinary compressed air to create a "cool" air stream that lowers the internal scanner temperature and expels a "warm" air stream.

Features:

  • Stainless steel vortex-tube with no moving parts for reliable operation
  • Connected to the insulating jacket's side opening with provided hardware
  • Compressed air enters through a 1/4" NPT male fitting

How It Works:

The vortex tube splits the compressed air into two streams:

  1. Cool Air: Directed into the space between the jacket and the scanner to reduce internal temperature.
  2. Warm Air: Exhausted out the bottom of the vortex tube.

The cooling effect will depend on the pressure and temperature of the supplied compressed air. While the air temperature drop will be significant, the scanner's internal temperature reduction will be slightly less.


Optimize Your Scanner’s Performance

Using the insulating jackets in combination with the Vortex-Tube Cooler Kit ensures reliable performance for scanners operating in high-temperature environments. These solutions protect your investment and maintain optimal scanner functionality in challenging applications.
