The invention relates to a cooling device (100) for cooling at least one element (150, 151) passing through said device, comprising a metal block (115), having a first side and a second side, and comprising a cooling channel (130) for cyrogenic gas. The at least one element (150, 151) can be guided along the sides of the first side of the metal block (115), the cooling channel (130) is at least partially in heat conductive connection with the second side of the metal block (115), and the cooling channel (130) has an attachment (131) on a first end for the entry of cryogenic gas and an attachment on a second end for the exit of cryogenic gas. The invention also comprises a hardening device having such a cooling device (100) and a method for cooling at least one element (150, 151) passing through said device.
A cooling device (100) for cooling at least one element (150, 151) passing through said device, comprising a metal plate (115) with a first side and a second side and a cooling channel (130) for a cryogenic gas,
The cooling device (100) according to furthermore comprising an external housing (160, 161), in which the metal plate (115) and the cooling channel (130) are arranged, wherein the metal plate (115), the cooling channel (130) and the at least one element (150, 151) are in the circumferential direction of the at least one element (150, 151) surrounded by an insulation housing (170, 171) of thermally insulating material, particularly of glass-fiber reinforced plastic, and wherein the insulation housing (170, 171) is only connected to the external housing (160, 161) at discrete locations.
A hardening device (200) for at least one element (150) passing through said device, comprising a cooling device (100) according to one of the preceding claims, a furnace (201) and a control valve (273),
