Air Distribution Plate: Perforation Diameter 1-5mm

Component Specifications

Definition

A perforated plate or grid component installed at the base of a fluidized bed cooler that distributes compressed air uniformly across the bed area to fluidize solid particles, enabling efficient heat transfer and cooling through controlled air dispersion.

Working Principle

Operates by receiving compressed air from a plenum chamber and distributing it evenly through precisely sized perforations or slots, creating a uniform upward airflow that fluidizes solid particles in the bed, maximizing surface contact for heat exchange and cooling efficiency.

Materials

Stainless steel (AISI 304/316), carbon steel with corrosion-resistant coating, or specialized alloys for high-temperature applications; thickness typically 3-10mm with precise perforation patterns.
