# Industrial Specification: Cooling Nozzle Array

## 1. Technical Definition
A precisely arranged set of nozzles designed to spray cooling media onto hot granules during the granulation process.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **2.5-8.0 bar at 15-25°C coolant temperature**. Failure boundary: **Structural failure occurs at sustained pressure &gt;12.0 bar or cyclic pressure exceeding 10.0 bar for &gt;1000 cycles**, Mechanism: **High-cycle fatigue failure due to pressure-induced stress concentration at nozzle orifice edges exceeding material yield strength (316L stainless steel, σ_y = 290 MPa)**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Darcy-Weisbach Pressure Drop**:

> **Primary Equation**: $\Delta P = f \cdot \frac{L}{D} \cdot \frac{\rho v^2}{2}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Critical for sizing CIP (Clean-In-Place) pump heads.

| Symbol | Variable Definition | Localized Reference |

- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 

### Q: What materials are used in this cooling nozzle array and why?
**A**: The array uses Stainless Steel 316L for corrosion resistance, PTFE for chemical inertness and sealing, and ceramic for thermal stability and wear resistance in harsh chemical environments.

### Q: How does this nozzle array improve the chemical granulation process?
**A**: It provides precise, uniform cooling spray distribution onto hot granules, ensuring consistent particle size, preventing agglomeration, and maintaining product quality during chemical manufacturing.

### Q: What maintenance is required for this cooling nozzle array?
**A**: Regular inspection of orifice plates for clogging, replacement of PTFE sealing gaskets as needed, and cleaning of stainless steel components to prevent chemical buildup and ensure optimal performance.

## 6. Manufacturing Compliance
- ISO 9001:2015 - QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
