Abstract This is the second part of a two-part series that presents the results of liquid nitrogen spray quenching of a Stainless Steel disc. The results of continuous-flow spray chilldown of a bare surface disc are summarized first that serves as the baseline information for evaluating the effects of disc surface coating and pulse flow. We found that for continuous-flow spray chilldown of a bare surface disc, the chilldown efficiency is mainly a function of the average mass flow rate with the trend of decreasing efficiency with increasing mass flow rate. Additional experiments were performed to evaluate the enhancement of cryogenic spray quenching by three techniques: 1. Using intermittent pulse sprays on SS bare surface, 2. Coating the SS surface with a layer of low thermal conductivity Teflon film, and 3. Spraying liquid nitrogen intermittently on the coated SS surface. In general, the results indicate that all three methods effectively produced higher spray thermal efficiencies and reduced liquid nitrogen mass consumption. However, it was also found that the Teflon coating was more effective than the flow pulsing due to that the Teflon coating induced a large surface temperature drop at the beginning of the chilldown that allowed the quenching to move quickly from poor heat transfer film boiling to efficient heat transfer transition and nucleate boiling regimes. This quick transition shortens the film boiling period, thus facilitates the switch to much higher heat transfer transition boiling and nucleate boiling periods earlier to complete the chilldown process faster.
