How does spray direction affect gas cooling efficiency?

In many industrial processes, effective cooling of hot gases is essential for protecting equipment and optimizing system performance. The choice of spray configuration can significantly impact evaporation efficiency, duct length, and operating costs. This report provides an in-depth comparison between co-current and counter-current spray orientations, highlighting their advantages, limitations, and practical considerations.

You will gain insights into:

  • The differences between upstream and downstream orientation in spraying and how these affect the cooling efficiency of the gas.
  • How nozzle type, spray pattern, and droplet size impact evaporation and the required duct length.
  • Practical considerations such as clogging, pressure drop, and system design factors that affect spray performance and equipment selection.
