Portfolio | Evaporative Cooling

SoniCool™ Evaporative Gas Cooling & Conditioning

Through the use of Turbotak and SoniCore™ Atomizing Nozzles, SoniCool™ [by TurboSonic Inc] accurately controls the temperature and humidity of high-temperature process gas streams from cement kilns, waste incinerators, non-ferrous smelters, and steel mill electric arc furnaces (EAF) or basic oxygen furnaces (BOF).

The result is gas temperatures that do not damage equipment and ductwork, smaller gas volumes, increased capacity, and improved efficiency of downstream air pollution control equipment. Over 450 installations worldwide.

Controlled Reduction of Process Off-gas Temperatures

SoniCool™ provides accurate temperature and humidity control to condition flue gases and particulate. The SoniCool™ system enhances collection efficiency and reliability of air pollution control systems. Production can be increased with lower gas temperatures, which results in reduced gas volumes.

The atomizing nozzles used in the SoniCool™ system introduce a controlled amount of finely atomized liquid into hot gas streams in order to reduce and/or maintain gas temperature.

The SoniCool™ Advantage

Evaporative Gas Cooling

Incinerator, kiln, or furnace exhaust gases are cooled from any temperature to as low as 240°F (115°C) prior to baghouse filtration - reducing the volume of exhaust gas to be filtered and protecting the baghouse. The water spray completely evaporates while absorbing heat from the gases. As a result, there is no water effluent to be treated.

Gas Conditioning

Electrostatic Precipitators (ESPs) cannot properly collect dust particles with high resistivity (glass, cement, etc.) unless humidity levels are optimized. SoniCool™ "conditions" the particulate by raising humidity, enhancing the collection efficiency of the ESP.

Benefits

Rapid cooling reduces size requirement of the cooling chamber/duct systems and air pollution control equipment
Self-cleaning, erosion and plug-resistant nozzles significantly reduce maintenance costs and downtime
High capacity single and multiple orifice atomizers reduce the number of nozzles/lances required
Infinite turndown rations maintain optimum temperature control
Completely dry operation eliminates water carryover, refractory spalling, sludge buildup, and water pollution
Pre-assembled modules reduce field wiring, piping, and installation costs
Proven design: hundreds of installed references
