Cooling Header: Temperature Range 5-80°C

Component Specifications

Definition

A cooling header is a precision-engineered manifold component within laminar cooling systems, designed to distribute coolant (typically water or water-based solutions) through multiple outlet nozzles or slots to achieve uniform heat extraction across the surface of processed materials such as metal sheets, plastics, or composites. It ensures consistent cooling rates critical for material properties and dimensional stability.

Working Principle

The cooling header operates by receiving pressurized coolant from a central supply line and distributing it through an internal manifold to multiple precisely spaced outlets. This creates a laminar flow pattern across the target surface, enabling efficient and uniform heat transfer through convection and conduction, while minimizing turbulence that could cause uneven cooling.

Materials

Stainless steel (AISI 304/316), aluminum alloys (6061-T6), or corrosion-resistant polymers (PTFE, PVC) depending on coolant compatibility and operating pressure (typically 2-10 bar).

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary function of a cooling header?

To distribute coolant uniformly across a material surface for controlled and consistent temperature reduction in industrial processes.

How does a cooling header differ from a standard pipe?

It features a manifold design with multiple calibrated outlets to ensure even flow distribution, unlike a pipe which typically has a single outlet.
