Quenching Nozzle
Additional Quenching Circuits arranged in a Disc-shape configuration forms a "Quenching Nozzle" when attached to an "Quenching Tube", as illustrated in Figure (2-4) as to Figure (2-6).

The Multi Gas-Port Disc compensates for increased Gas-Velocity while "preventing" spark-ignition of the Fuel-Cell gases.
The overlapping Flame-Pattern re-ignites the expelling hydrogen gas-mixture (B/D) should Flame-Out occur.
Ceramic material is used to form the "Quenching Disc" to "prevent" hole-size enlargement due to gas-oxidation.
The non-combustible gases (D) keeps the Ceramic Material "cool-to-the-touch" by projecting the Gas-Flame beyond and away from the disc-surface ... the Quenching Disc remains "cool" even if the Gas-Flame Temperature exceeds the melting-point of the disc-material.
