Quench Air
Air Cooled Heat Exchanger - Removable Coverplate Design

An SBS QUENCH AIR® is a heat exchanger which uses air instead of water to cool liquids that have been heated in industrial processes. A Quench Air Cooler completely eliminates the use of cooling water, so it helps reduce your costs while benefiting the environment.

The SBS Quench Air functions much like a car radiator. The liquids from heated processes flow through the heat exchanger’s finned tubes. The Quench Air’s electric, motor-driven propeller fans blow cooling air over the tubes, and the heat from the liquid is exchanged into the air.

Features:

REMOVABLE TUBE MANIFOLDS
Removable manifolds on both ends give complete visual and mechanical access to tube interiors. The absence of tube "U-bends" makes cleaning easy.

QUIET, EFFICIENT PROPELLER FANS
Using minimal horsepower, propeller fans deliver the optimal quantity of air with quiet operation. The direct drive fans eliminate sheave and belt maintenance.

INLETS AND OUTLETS
Inlets and outlets are available in flanged or threaded connections to match piping capabilities.

FIN GUARD
Mounted on top of the heat exchanger, the fin guard protects the delicate finned tubes from weather or people damage. The fin guards are bright zinc plated and sealed with di-chromate.

CONVENIENT THREADED PLUG
The easy-to-remove plug provides a viewing port to examine tube cleanliness. The plug allows a quick visual check of the tubes without removing the manifolds of the unit.

OPTIONAL NEMA 3R DISCONNECT SWITCH
Wired using SEAL TITE conduit and fittings, the switch gives a positive electrical power lockout. The weather tight disconnect switch helps assure compliance with OSHA electrical lockout standards.

FINNED TUBING
1" diameter tubes (stainless or carbon steel) create four times the flow area of a commonly used 1/2" tube. The large flow area virtually eliminates the possibility of plugging. Depending on the application, steel or aluminum fins are available: grooved, helically wound, or embedded.
