Abstract
A high efficiency stripper nozzle, with a through hole configured to be connected to the through hole of another nozzle, guide, or nozzle, which comprises several radial channels that pass through the nozzle from the perimeter zone to the hole at its entrance zone. The nozzle may be divided into several pieces which can be connected together in a removable way and replaceable, which may form the radial channels between them with different sections and angles with respect to the axis of the hole. The radial channels may contact externally with an opening located on one of the surfaces of the nozzle or on one of the surfaces of the nozzle to which the nozzle is connected.
Claims12
A stripper nozzle (1), for production of an elongated metal product, made up of at least one body with a through hole (10) having a longitudinal axis (4) configured to be connected to a through hole (20) of another stripper nozzle, guide, or nozzle (2), wherein the stripper nozzle comprises a plurality of radial channels (18, 19) passing through the stripper nozzle (1) from a perimeter zone (101) of the stripper nozzle (1) to an entrance zone (102) of the through hole (10) of the stripper nozzle (1), being the 1 entrance zone (102) fluidly coupled to an atmosphere in an outside region of the stripper nozzle (1);
- wherein the through hole (10) is adapted to lead along the longitudinal axis (4) a coolant/lubricant fluid flow and the elongated metal product having a continuous longitudinal shape having the coolant/lubricant fluid therearound;
- wherein each of the plurality of radial channels (18, 19) has a point of entrance to the through hole (10) at angle (α) of between 50 and less than 90° with respect to the longitudinal axis (4) of the through hole (10) such that a fluid guided through said plurality of radial channels (18, 19) generate a countercurrent flow against the coolant/lubricant fluid flow at the entrance zone (102), resulting in a collision between the countercurrent flow and the coolant/lubricant fluid flow in the entrance zone (102).
