Conair Water and Spray Tanks are designed to provide addi-
tional spray or flood cooling of extruded profiles, tubing and
pipe, or as a primary spray or cooling tank. Leveling floor
jacks and adjustment handwheels at both ends of the tank
ensure proper alignment with the extrusion line.
After an extrusion has been sized and solidified, it may
require additional controlled cooling to obtain the desired
characteristics.
The WT water tank provides flood cooling. You can sub-
merge the extrusion in heated water to slow the cooling rate,
or in cool water to cool it more quickly. The internal plumbing
configuration for flood cooling is designed to provide maxi-
mum turbulence to break up the temperature strata that forms
around the extrusion for optimum heat transfer. Support and
hold-down rollers keep the buoyant extrusion in place as it
passes through the tank.
The ST spray tank reduces the buoyancy of the extrusion in
the water and provides maximum heat transfer through evapo-
ration by spraying water onto the hot extrusion surface. The
extrusion can be held above the water level or submerged in
the water in the spray compartment.
Both WT and ST tanks have two compartments: a long water
or spray compartment for controlled cooling of the extrusion,
and a short air-wipe compartment for removing water from the
pipe surface as it leaves the water or spray compartment.
The water and spray compartments are sealed by gaskets on
each end. Black wiping gaskets backed up by red support
gaskets retain the flood and spray water.
An optional closed water recirculation reservoir, pump and
heat exchanger can interface with your portable chiller or cen-
tral chiller for reduced water consumption.
