# Industrial Specification: Fluidized Bed Cooler

## 1. Technical Definition
A cooling unit that uses fluidization technology to rapidly cool urea granules in a granulation system.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-2.0 bar fluidization pressure, 20-80°C inlet gas temperature, 40-120 t/h urea granule throughput**. Failure boundary: **Fluidization pressure below 0.3 bar causes bed collapse; gas velocity exceeding 3.5 m/s initiates particle entrainment; bed temperature exceeding 150°C initiates urea decomposition**, Mechanism: **Minimum fluidization velocity (Umf) violation at 0.3 bar pressure causes particle settling and heat transfer coefficient reduction from 200 W/m²·K to below 50 W/m²·K; gas velocity exceeding terminal velocity (Ut) of 3.5 m/s initiates particle elutriation; Arrhenius kinetics at 150°C initiate urea hydrolysis with activation energy of 85 kJ/mol**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **LMTD Logarithmic Mean Temperature Difference**:

> **Primary Equation**: $Q = U \cdot A \cdot \Delta T_{lm}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Sizing validation for pasteurization and cooling tunnels.

### Q: What materials are used in the construction of this fluidized bed cooler?
**A**: The fluidized bed cooler is constructed with high-quality materials including Stainless Steel 304/316, Carbon Steel, and Heat-resistant Gaskets to ensure durability and resistance to chemical corrosion in demanding chemical manufacturing environments.

### Q: How does the fluidized bed cooler work to cool urea granules?
**A**: The cooler uses fluidization technology where cooling air is introduced through an air distribution plate, creating a fluidized bed of urea granules. This maximizes surface contact with cooling air for rapid, uniform cooling before discharge through the discharge mechanism.

### Q: What are the key components in the fluidized bed cooler's bill of materials (BOM)?
**A**: The main BOM components include: Air Distribution Plate for even air flow, Cooling Air Inlet for temperature control, Discharge Mechanism for processed granules, Exhaust Vent for air removal, and the Fluidization Chamber where the cooling process occurs.
