Quench cooler for industrial gas cooling

Effectively manage high-temperature industrial gases with precision cooling that minimizes emissions and enhances safety, making it crucial for operations handling exhaust and process gases.

The GEA-Quenche-EC from GEA is an industrial quench cooler designed to address the challenges of cooling high-temperature exhaust gases in sectors like chemical, environmental, and metal processing. It operates through a robust mechanism involving an open vessel where liquid is sprayed to interact with rising gas streams, lowering the gas to its adiabatic saturation temperature while facilitating the separation of impurities like arsenic and lead.

This system serves critical roles in emission control by pre-cooling gas streams destined for scrubbers and wet electrostatic precipitators, ensuring efficient heat management and pollutant reduction. With applications in industries handling exhaust gases, it assists in producing cleaner emissions and byproducts like scrubber waste and condensed impurities.

The GEA-Quenche-EC supports continuous and manual operations, enhancing its versatility in various environments. Built from heat and corrosion-resistant materials such as SiC, it withstands aggressive conditions, extending its longevity and performance reliability. Engineered with a brick-lined casing and open cross-section design, the cooler minimizes clogging risks and ensures efficient cooling under high-fluorine environments. Emergency water system and standby pump features provide operational security, making it a comprehensive solution for modern emission control needs.
