IRt/c for Ambient >1000C Cooling Requirements

Up to 450°F (230°C), air alone can provide sufficient cooling with the Cooling Jacket Kit. As the Air Cooling Chart illustrates, considerably less air is required to cool an IRt/c with a CJK-1 or CJK-2, than an IRt/c.5. For this reason, the IRt/c is recommended for hot areas if it is possible to bring the sensor close to the target.

The air cooling chart extends above the recommended 450°F (230°C), and can be used there, but caution is advised due to the possible effects of hot spots.

If air consumption is of concern, or if ambient temperatures are above 450°F (230°C), water cooling is recom- mended. A small amount of purge air is also recommended when water cooling (see Tech Note #15).
