Rapid Cooling and CDA Electrode Temperature Control

UPGRADES

Rapid Cooling Benefits

Increased system availability and productivity
Reduced cost of ownership
Reduced mean time to clean
The new option of CDA Rapid Cooling is more cost-effective and avoids the inconvenience and risks of LN2 solutions
Reduced cleaning overheads
Certainty in cooling time, removing variability of ambient/atmospheric cooling

Improved process accuracy and repeatability, meaning enhanced production solutions
Maintain electrode temperature within process runs, providing optimal processes and production

The Rapid Cooling and CDA Electrode Temperature Control upgrade offers:

Rapid cooling of the electrode from +260°C to ambient temperature using liquid nitrogen (LN2) and the new option of using clean dry air (CDA)
Tighter processing temperature control in the range 100°C - 250°C compared to control by heating alone
Active control of the electrode temperature within +/- 3°C using heating and CDA cooling (actual tolerance during process was +/- 1°C)
Combined liquid nitrogen, CDA and liquid cooling options
Heat exchanger to control the temperature of exhaust gas
