Reduce Sparks & Spark Damage in Dust Collection Systems
The Spark Cooler is ideally suited to mitigate sparks generated in metal and other low-load material processing applications, under non-explosive conditions. The Spark Cooler works to create turbulence in the air flow stream, thereby disturbing the thermal bubble surrounding the spark and allowing the lower temperature in the gas stream to influence the particle temperature. It is not an extinguishing system and should never be applied as a standalone device in processes requiring absolute spark suppression.
What it Does
- Cools and arrests sparks without water or chemical injection
- Reduces burn-damage to filter media
- Reduces duct and dust collector damage
- Destratifies temperature and cools local hot spots
Ideal Applications
- Metal Grinding
- Resistance Welding
- Plasma Cutting
- Laser Cutting
- Thermal Spray
- Carburization
- Metal Quenching
