ThermoQuench® / TurboQuench Is The Ideal Solution For The Temperature Controlled Processing of Wire Rod and Bar Products
Our patented quenching nozzles have an extremely
high heat transfer coefficient achieved by an engineered combination of
laminar and turbulent flow within the nozzle.
 Applications
- Inter-stand cooling
- Wire rod mill water boxes
- Post-rolling quenching (for self tempered rebar)
Principle of Operation
Calculated quantities of low pressure water impact the
hot bar in the primary cooling chamber with a very high kinetic energy.
This high kinetic energy disrupts the steam jacket formation and allows
for fully wetted cooling to occur immediately, bypassing the inefficient
film boiling present in other designs. Inside the nozzle, precisely positioned
secondary cooling chambers reintroduce turbulence, which again prevents
vapour blanket (steam) formation for continued intense cooling.
