GMD PNU™ COOLER FOR FOUNDRY SAND

 

 

GMD PNU™ Cooler
A conventional fluid bed design provides direct cooling with fluidizing air and indirectly cooling via finned water coils in the fluidized bed. The GMD PNU™ Cooler, expressly designed for cooling foundry return sand, provides efficient sand cooling in a configuration of unsurpassed capacity to floor space ratio. Excess sand is processed through the cooler on a continuous basis, totally absent of moving parts.

GMD's PNU™ COOLER is a conventional fluid ned design for fluidizing air distribution, complete with finned water cooling tube banks and baffle plates for directing the sand across the tube banks. The bed of sand behaves as a fluid having a density greater than water. Conditions within the bed result in rapid and intimate mixing, which in turn produces rapid heat transfer from the sand to the fluidizing air which in turn carries off the heat in the form of exhaust air. The finned water cooling tube banks provide indirect cooling at a higher total efficiency when added to the direct cooling provided by the fluidizing air. The water is externally cooled by a conventional evaporative cooling tower after being pumped through the coils. Above the bed of sand is a free board space which, is kept at a slight negative pressure via the dust collector connection. This draws off the air introduced as fluidizing air in addition to classification as unwanted sand fines are removed via the exhaust system.

GMD PNU™ Sand Coolers and GMD PNU™ Scrubbers are Available as Separate Units
