This work aims to contribute to the optimization of the simulation process in the heat treatment industry. Cooling curves of a polyacrylate-based (ACR) polymer solution at a concentration of 9 and 12 %, using an axial flow rate of 1.30 L/min on an immersion system and a fluid temperature of 45 °C were acquired and analyzed. Air quenching was also used to compare the polymer quenching conditions.
