Mass Coolers
Where brief temperature fluctuations occur, such as in batch processes, air pollution control components work as thermal energy stores. Mass heat storage effect occurs when the heat transferred to the sheet metal walls causes the material to heat up.
Scheuch mass cooler harnesses this effect to balance exhaust gas temperatures. It can also serve as a spark separator. The sheet stacks incorporated into the mass coolers have been calculated to produce optimum thermal characteristics and reduce the sheeting volume to a minimum. Depending on the required cooling output, the design focuses on either free-standing coolers or individual mass cooler stacks in extraction lines.

Mixed Air/Fresh Air Cooling
When a facility needs occasional minor cooling or has cooler partial air flows available, it uses mixed air cooling. The mixed air is drawn into the mixing section by temperature-controlled flaps or by axial fans. Structural costs are much lower compared to other cooling systems. However, since this increases the volumetric air flow, the air pollution control equipment must be larger in scale.
