Estimating the term…
Direct flame preheating section for continuous metal strip processing lines, comprising a connecting zone between an active zone provided with burners capable of operating in “no flame” mode and a recuperative zone for preheating the strip by exchange with combustion fumes originating from the active zone, the connecting zone having chambers capable of orienting the flow of fumes such that they flow head-on relative to the strip when exiting the active zone and entering the recuperative zone depending on the direction of flow of the fumes.
A direct flame preheating section for a continuous metal strip processing line comprising a connecting zone provided for circulating the combustion fumes coming from an active zone equipped with burners to a recuperative zone for preheating the strip by exchange with said fumes, characterized in that the burners are capable of operating in “no flame” mode and in that said connecting zone comprises an outlet chamber capable of orienting the flow of the fumes so that they flow head-on relative to the strip at the outlet of the active zone and an inlet chamber capable of orienting the flow of the fumes so that they flow head-on relative to the strip at the inlet of the recuperative zone, depending on the direction of flow of the fumes.
