Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to elaborate guidelines regarding geometric configurations of a nozzle manifold that have an impact on the effectiveness of the quenching process and occurrence of quenching distortions. Design/methodology/approach: Within the framework of this study there an optimisation of nozzle manifold geometry was carried out with the help of numerical simulations created using Ansys CFX software. In the first stage, a simplification of the nozzle-sample system reduced to a two-dimensional simulation was employed to determine the most optimal location of the coolant stream. In the second stage, several arrangements of nozzle manifolds were tested in a three-dimensional simulation. The parameters that were taken into account included the rate of sample cooling, the uniformity of cooling with a sample volume and heat coefficient takeover read from its surface. Findings: The different active/inactive nozzle arrangements within the manifold and the impact of the specific arrangements on the uniformity of heat transfer from the sample surface were compared. Research limitations/implications: The simulations carried out within the framework of this study are one of the elaboration stages of a new flow heat treatment technology. Practical implications: The application of an efficient cooling chamber in flow treatment makes it possible to limit quenching distortions to a minimum. An optimal adjustment of cooling parameters and cooling nozzle configuration to the shape of the element in order to make the cooling uniform translate directly into a reduction in distortions. Avoiding the necessity to reduce distortions after quenching means there is a significant reduction in detail production costs (grinding). Originality/value: The concept of single-piece flow in the heat treatment for the mass industry is developing rapidly and constitutes a fully automated element of a manufacturing line, adjusted for the purposes of being included in the production process automatic control system. It also makes it possible to conduct comprehensive and integration quality supervision and management at the level of an individual element, which is not possible in the case of batch heat treatment, which is a gap in the production process.
