WHAT IS THE

WT OR ST

TANK?

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.
