Good day everybody...
I am a design engineer working for a company that manufactures expansion bellows units, I have received an enquiry for Hot Blast Main bellows for a furnace. the inlet side of the unit will have standard ASA flanges while the outlet side they have specified using water cooled flanges. I have seen a drawing of the unit with the flange on, it looks like a normal flange with a concentric chamber coming off the flange OD housing water, there is an inlet and outlet (BSP) fittings, the temperature is 150C yet this is inside the bellows... I have never come across a water cooled flange before I was just wondering what its used for and how it works and why its used.
Thanks for listening!!!
