3.4 Water Jacketing
The D6B chamber is equipped with a water cooling jacket. The maximum recommended
operating pressure in the Chamber is typically 1 bar (15 psi). Pressure control (supplied by
customer) is to be located before the inlet to the water jacket. The outlet must not be
restricted. The maximum recommended flowrate for cooling water is 12 LPM (~3 GPM).
Inlet water temperature is typically 4-15° C (40-60° F) but may vary based on local
conditions.
Check your Comminutor Specification Sheet and/or machine General Arrangement Drawing
to confirm if your machine includes provision for water cooling controls. Inlet and outlet
connection ports for water jackets will be indicated on your General Arrangement Drawing.
Make sure your interconnecting water lines are adequately sized to provide the
recommended flowrate.
Typical locations for water cooling jacket on D6B model Comminutors are:
Near Chamber Feed Throat: Utilized to reduce the process temperature
when handling heat sensitive products. In some highly heat-sensitive
applications, connections are provided in the feed throat to inject a cryogen
(e.g. liquid CO2) directly into the product stream for cooling.
