Installation & Operation

Installation:
Install the QUENCHER to allow 5-8 diameters of straight duct between the spark source and the inlet of the QUENCHER. Allow a minimum of 5-8
diameters of straight duct between outlet of the QUENCHER and the nearest downstream transition piece (i.e. elbow, dust collector inlet). Provide
adequate structural support when installing and operating the QUENCHER. Observing the directional flow arrow on the QUENCHER label, install
the QUENCHER in-line with the duct. Verify that the label is on correctly by comparing to the “Blade Orientation” sketch. For flange mounting,
supply gasket material (such as RTV sealant) between mating flanges to assure an air-tight seal. For slip-fit mounting, make sure the mating duct
connection or mating flex hose connection is air-tight. The recommended installation is in a horizontal duct run. For vertical duct installation, consult
with the factory about possible explosive conditions.

Operation:
Turn on your system fan and draw process air through the QUENCHER. The QUENCHER will cool sparks that pass through the unit. The basic
QUENCHER is a static device with no moving or electrical parts. It will function automatically when the system fan is turned on. You must ensure
gas flow is within a specific range of velocities of through the turbulator cell (stated as SCFM in the product specifications) is maintained for proper
functioning. Otherwise, there may not be enough turbulent energy generated to extinguish sparks and prevent debris accumulation at the bottom of
the cell. Refer to the QUENCHER guarantee and warranty for details on performance and limitations.

Maintenance:
There are no electronic controls and no water or chemical retardants, making the QUENCHER virtually maintenance-free. To avoid combustible dust
accumulation, periodically check the inside of the QUENCHER and observe whether or not solids accumulate within. In applications where solids
arrest against the internal blades of the QUENCHER and/or appreciably adhere to the inside surfaces, a regularly scheduled cleaning should be
considered to prevent obstruction.

Warnings:
1) If the QUENCHER is provided with an access door, never open the doors when the system is operating. Also, never open access door when
a duct fire is suspected.
2) Pressure drop readings, taken in the field, are difficult to rely on due to the extreme turbulence developed in the QUENCHER cell. We
recommend at least 8 duct diameters of straight duct beyond the cell or outlet of the reducer section of QUENCHER. It also requires an
upstream reading where the flow is perfectly laminar in the duct. Dwyer Instruments Inc requires straight duct 1.5 duct diameters upstream
and 8.5 straight duct diameters downstream from a flow measuring device.
3) If operating below 0.9 inches WG pressure drop, a CELL CLEANER / BOOSTER is recommended to prevent dust accumulations before
and after the QUENCHER.

CELL CLEANER / BOOSTER Set-Up (for models supplied with the option)
1. The cell cleaner assembly is supplied pre-installed in an extension of the inlet to the QUENCHER. Some models are shipped separately, for
field assembly, to avoid the high shipping cost of oversized loads and escorted trucking. In these cases, bolt the two flanges together. Make sure
the pulse pipe is at the far extremity away from the QUENCHER cell.
2. Mount the diaphragm valve (packaged separately with the QUENCHER) on the pulse pipe protruding from the inlet extension. Ensure that the
valve port labeled “IN” is connected to the air line and the port opposite the solenoid is on the pulse pipe.
3. Connect a compressed air line to the diaphragm valve. 85 PSI maximum air pressure is required. A regulator is needed to ensure proper
pressure. A pulse length (ON-TIME) of 120-150 milliseconds is required. OFF-TIME is application dependent, consult factory.
4. Two possible electrical activation methods may be used; electronic timer on the diaphragm valve or activation by the pulse sequencer at the
dust collector. Whatever method of activation is selected, the hardware (switches, controllers) is either existing or must be supplied by the
purchaser of the QUENCHER. IMPORTANT: check carefully the solenoid voltage rating and use the appropriate power input.

 Activation by localized timer: Activate the cell cleaner by connecting a power source to the timer on the solenoid of the
diaphragm valve.
Electronic Timer on the solenoid; Set the “ON time” to 120-150 milliseconds and the “OFF time” to pulse
every 4 minutes. The timer module can be ordered from QAM, ask for part # CONTEMP {specify the
voltage of the power source}, See the “INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS”
following the “Cell Cleaner Specifications” after page 3 of this manual.
For two valve models, wire both in parallel so both valves fire simultaneously.

 Performance Guarantee for QUENCHERtm Spark Arrestors
The QUENCHER is a static mixing device that operates by cooling glowing embers within the exhaust ducting system. It cools the
sparks by changing the characteristics of the gas flow through the duct from laminar to turbulent flow. This change in type o f flow
causes a relative velocity difference between the sparks and the gas flowing past the sparks. It is effective when the air temperature in
the process is lower than the spark temperature. The sparks will be cooled to within 20 OF of the gas temperature in the duct. The
QUENCHER is suitable for spark arrestor duty and under the conditions described herein, will eliminate any sparks and embers from
the air stream. It is a good safety device but no guarantee against all factors which cause fires.

The operating conditions are that the conveyed material has been completely combusted and is strictly in the form of embers before
reaching the QUENCHER. The QUENCHER will not stop an explosion or flame front propagating in the duct and to the dust
collector. It is not meant to be used in lieu of a fire or explosion suppression system. When the design of the process gas system mixes
different gas streams at different temperatures, the QUENCHER functions as an air blender and will lower the mixture temperature to
a theoretical value of a well mixed gas stream with a temperature gradient of 20degreesF. The mixture must have a suitable mixture
composition to prevent a flame from developing in and through the QUENCHER, as described above. The QUENCHER must be
selected for gas flow of 1500–2500 FPM through the cell which is the SCFM range stated on the product specification sheets. The
effectiveness and pressure drop across the device is related to the gas density and volume flowing through the QUENCHER & cell
cleaner, and, proper installation (such as respecting straight duct sections entering and leaving the device and vertical install
limitations). The QUENCHER can be supplied with a pneumatically actuated Booster-Cell Cleaner to prevent dust from
settling in the relatively slow speed through the cell.

as provided hereinabove. The purchaser agrees that NO OTHER REMEDY (including, but not limited to, incidental or
consequential damages for lost profits, lost sales, injury to person or property, or any other incidental or consequential lo ss)
shall be available to him. The sole purpose of the stipulated exclusive remedy provided for herein, shall be to provide the
purchaser with repair and replacement of defective parts in the manner provided for herein. This exclusive remedy shall not
be deemed to have failed of its essential purpose so long as QAM is willing and able to repair or replace defective parts in the
prescribed manner. The purchaser shall not be required to deliver a defective part to QAM, if:
(1) The part was destroyed as a result of its defect or any defect in any part covered in this warranty; and
(2) QAM is reasonably satisfied that the part was defective at the time of sale.
If both of these conditions are met, QAM will replace the part in the same manner provided herein as if the purchaser had
delivered it to QAM.
4. The purchaser acknowledges that no oral statements purporting to be warranties, representations, or guarantees of any kind
about any product of QAM, have been made to purchaser by QAM, or its dealer, which in any way expands, alters or
modifies the terms of the warranty set out herein. Any such statements do not constitute warranties, shall not be relied on by
the purchaser, and are not part of the contract of sale. This writing constitutes a complete and exclusive statement of the terms
of any warranty, express or implied, of QAM.
5. There is NO WARRANTY for any defective part of a QAM product which has been removed from its original installation
site or which arises from mishandling, neglect, fire, flood, lightning, corrosive atmosphere, improper installation of the
