Retort Furnace Cooling Systems
Optional cooling systems are available for our retort furnaces for fast cooling of the batches.
Function and equipment
Indirect cooling (hot-wall retort furnaces)
- Ambient air is blown onto the outer retorte surface to cool it down. The waste heat is removed via the exhaust air outlet of the furnace.
- The charge is cooled indirectly, which means that the atmosphere in the retort is not affected by the cooling
- The charge cannot be quenched with the cooling system
Direct cooling (cold-wall and hot-wall retort furnaces)
- Rapid gas cooling in the retort. For this purpose, the furnace atmosphere is circulated through a heat exchanger.
- The system pressure is not increased by the cooling; there is no gas quenching at high pressure
- Not available for processes with flammable furnace atmospheres
