SAFE – ZERO WATER USE – LOW MAINTENANCE
The Solanus SQC Quench Cooler is an inherently safe method of cooling high-temperature quench oil tanks. Because the cooling medium is ambient air, the Solanus SQC Quench Cooler eliminates the risk posed by water-cooled systems, where any water contaminating the quench tank could cause a fire or explosion.
Operation
Hot quench oil (100° to 350°F / 38° to 177°C) circulates through heavy-walled, large-diameter, finned tubes that can handle the quench oil’s turbulent, high-velocity flow. Direct-drive propeller fans underneath the SQC push cooler ambient air across the tubes, and fan staging provides precise temperature control.
Maintenance
The SQC minimizes tube fouling and plugging by allowing even dirty quench oil to circulate at high velocities, scrubbing the inside of the tubes. Manual tube cleaning is also easy, thanks to its removable cover plate and straight-through tube design.
