ABSTRACT:
A cooler for chilling a working fluid used in a manufacturing or production process comprised of a tank having a reservoir in the bottom and one or more cooling coils mounted above the reservoir. A metering plate is inserted in the tank above the cooling coils to distribute the working fluid to be cooled over the refrigerant-containing coil at a predetermined rate. The metering plate has a plurality of tapered metering holes in a circular pattern aligned with each coil of the cooling coils mounted in the tank. The metering holes evenly distribute the hot working fluid over the cooling coils. Distribution and overflow barriers are provided on the metering plate to provide a constant maximum flow of hot working fluid through the cooling tank. Refrigerant is pumped through the cooling coils from the bottom to the top in a counterflow action with respect to the hot working fluid to be cooled. With proper selection of the metering holes, distribution and overflow barriers on the metering plate the cooler can be constructed to automatically maintain a predetermined amount of cooling.
