Quenching tank

Quenching tank

Quenching tank

(OP)
I'am looking for design guidelines of quenching tank.

RE: Quenching tank

1) What is being quenched? E.g., steel, PH stainless, aluminum alloy,...multipurpose?
2) Are arts sensitive to distortion upon rapid cooling?
3) What is quenching medium? E.g., water, water+polymer, brine, oil, molten salt? Agitation?
4) If work load is heavy, do you have refrigeration equipment, so can install a HXer?
5) Will the work load be suspended on bars resting upon tank flanges.
6) What is the maximum size part that might be quenched? Its mass (don't want to raise bath temperature too much)?

RE: Quenching tank

(OP)
Thanx to show your preocupation. The purpose of this quenching tank is to cool quickly the product stream coming from a cracking reactor. In this reactor dichloroethylene (EDC) is cracked into vinyl chloride and hydrogen chloride. The quench medium is cool EDC. By this point I calculate a diameter of 2 m and a high of 6 m. However I don't no if this measure are reasonable. Could you help me?
