Uench Owers: Quench Tower Design

Quench towers provide temperature reduction and control of hot process gases through evaporative cooling. They are often the first step in conditioning high temperature air streams before pollution control. Proper quench tower design considers factors like inlet temperature, target temperature, chemicals present, and nozzle design. Common materials of construction include Hastelloy, AL6XN steel, and stainless steel.
