Cooling system and method for decoaters

A cooling system for a decoating system, the cooling system comprising:

• a sensor configured to measure a coolant characteristic of a coolant dispensed by a sprayer into the decoating system, wherein the coolant characteristic is a fluid pressure of the coolant;
• a temperature sensor configured to measure a temperature within the decoating system, wherein the temperature sensor is configured to measure the temperature in at least one of a kiln, an afterburner, or a duct between the afterburner and the kiln of the decoating system;
• a coolant control device controlling the coolant characteristic of the coolant, wherein the coolant control device is a pressure control device;
• and
• a controller communicatively coupled with the sensor and the coolant control device, wherein the controller is configured to adjust the coolant control device to adjust the coolant characteristic of the coolant based on at least one of a measured temperature within the decoating system or the measured coolant characteristic such that the cooling system provides at least one of a desired temperature or the coolant with a desired coolant characteristic,
• wherein the controller is configured to adjust the coolant control device by selectively controlling the fluid pressure of the coolant with the pressure control device based on the measured temperature and the measured fluid pressure.

A cooling system for a decoating system, the cooling system comprising:

• a first sensor configured to measure a temperature within a piece of equipment of the decoating system;
• a second sensor configured to measure a coolant characteristic of a coolant dispensed by a sprayer of the cooling system into the piece of equipment of the decoating system, wherein the coolant characteristic is a fluid pressure of the coolant;
• a control device configured to control the coolant characteristic, wherein the coolant control device is a pressure control device;
• and
• a controller communicatively coupled with the first sensor, the second sensor, and the control device,
• wherein the controller is configured to adjust the control device to adjust the coolant characteristic such that the cooling system provides at least one of a desired temperature or a desired coolant characteristic with the coolant by selectively controlling the fluid pressure of the coolant with the pressure control device based on the measured temperature and the measured fluid pressure.
