Quench cooler for industrial gas cooling
High temperature exhaust gases from incinerators or melting furnaces require cooling to prevent equipment damage and ensure safe emissions management. Rapid cooling or quenching is necessary for subsequent processes like scrubbing and electrostatic precipitation.

Rapid cooling for high-temperature exhaust gases
The Quench cooler by GEA is designed for cooling high-temperature exhaust gases from sources such as incinerators and melting furnaces. It utilizes water to lower the gas temperature to its adiabatic saturation point. The open cross-section design minimizes clogging risks. Heat and corrosion-resistant materials ensure durability, even with gases containing high fluorine content. The cooler’s long gas retention time fosters fine dust separation and impurity condensation like arsenic, selenium, and lead. Incorporated features include a brick-lined casing, standby pump, and emergency water system.
Benefits
- Prevents equipment damage due to high temperature
- Minimizes clogging with open cross-section design
- Condenses impurities for cleaner emissions
- Durable construction with heat and corrosion-resistant materials
- Ensures continuous operation with standby pump and emergency water system
