Water Distribution Manifold for Secondary Cooling Chamber

Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Water Distribution Manifold

Definition

The Water Distribution Manifold is a critical component within the Secondary Cooling Chamber that receives pressurized cooling water from the main supply line and evenly distributes it through multiple branch connections to various cooling nozzles, spray bars, or heat exchange surfaces. It ensures uniform cooling across the chamber by maintaining consistent flow rates and pressure to all distribution points. The manifold is typically constructed from Stainless Steel 316L or Carbon Steel with a corrosion-resistant coating, depending on the application requirements. It features a single inlet connection (DN50–DN100, flanged or threaded per ISO 7005) and multiple outlet connections (DN15–DN50, threaded or welded per ISO 7005). The number of outlets can be customized from 4 to 12 to match the chamber design. Operating pressure ranges from 1.0 to 1.6 MPa, with a flow capacity of 20–80 L/min per outlet depending on nozzle size. The operating temperature range is 0–80°C. Pressure drop at maximum flow rate is 0.05–0.15 MPa. Leakage rate is ≤0.01 mL/min at 1.5× working pressure. Wall thickness is 3–6 mm (Schedule 40S–80S per ASME B36.19). Surface finish is Ra ≤ 0.8 μm (ISO 1302) for internal cleanliness. Weight ranges from 15–60 kg depending on size and material. All listed parameters are reference ranges and must be verified for the specific model and application with the legal manufacturer or supplier. The manifold operates on the principle of pressure balancing to ensure even distribution despite varying downstream resistance. It is essential for uniform cooling in continuous casting or similar processes. Proper selection requires consideration of flow requirements, pressure, temperature, and connection types. Verification of standards compliance and material grades should be confirmed with the manufacturer.

Working Principle

Pressurized cooling water enters the manifold through a single inlet port. The internal chamber design (typically with baffles or flow dividers) distributes the water evenly to multiple outlet ports. Pressure balancing mechanisms ensure consistent flow to all outlets regardless of downstream resistance variations. This ensures uniform cooling across the chamber.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating pressure range for this manifold?

The operating pressure range is 1.0–1.6 MPa. However, the actual allowable pressure may vary depending on the specific model and installation. Always verify with the manufacturer.

How many outlets can the manifold have?

The number of outlets is customizable from 4 to 12, depending on the chamber design. The exact configuration should be confirmed with the supplier.

What materials are available?

The manifold is available in Stainless Steel 316L or Carbon Steel with a corrosion-resistant coating. Material selection depends on the application and must be verified with the manufacturer.

What is the leakage rate at working pressure?

The leakage rate is ≤0.01 mL/min at 1.5 times the working pressure, tested. This is a reference value; actual performance should be confirmed for the specific model.
