Cooling, quenching & conditioning
The Rapid Cooling or Quenching of gas streams is used in several essential applications in the process industries.
GEA technology is the standard in gas cleaning plants of the global players. Together with the world market leaders, we continue to develop our technology to always stay competitive.
Our portfolio includes a series of cooling and quench solutions, which can also be combined depending on the application.
A Quench Tower or a hot gas Quench System is often the first step in conditioning a high-temperature and polluted air stream so that particulate, acid gases, metals, and other emissions can be appropriately removed.
GEA offers various cooling and conditioning units:
- Gas conditioning tower (Evaporative gas cooler)
- Quench cooler
- Hot gas quench system
- Packed column cooler

Gas conditioning tower (GCT)
Used in industrial applications to cool gases upstream of electrostatic precipitators / bag filters for effective temperature control, gas volume reduction and humidification by the evaporation of water. GEA provides the two available atomization technologies utilized in the evaporative cooling process: hydraulic atomization and twin-fluid atomiz...
Hot gas quench systems
Vertically standing scrubbing tube with gas inlet from above and spray nozzles arranged radially on the tube below the gas inlet.
Packed Cooling Tower (Column Cooler)
Vertical tube with a gas inlet from underneath and a radial task of the scrubbing liquid from above over the whole tube cross section.
Quench cooler
Rapid cooling of quenching of gas streams is used in a number of essential applications in the process industries. The selection and sizing of spray nozzles are the most critical decisions in the system design. GEA quench tower design consists of an open vessel in which liquid is sprayed to contact the gas. The gas enters the bottom of the tower...

New food tipping point
Alternative proteins are promising – yet still expensive to produce. The usual response is that scaling up will solve this issue. But what if the solution was really about getting better, not just bigger? From more efficient, high-yield processes to upcycling waste heat, engineers are reshaping how we grow food.
A safer way to produce cancer treatments
As anti-cancer drugs become more powerful and complex, GEA is redefining how to safely freeze-dry these life-saving treatments.
