Abstract
A device for cooling rolled stock, preferably for cooling during cold rolling, including a nozzle for applying a cooling medium to the rolled stock, wherein a cooling chamber that is in fluid communication with the nozzle and extends substantially parallel to the strip running plane is provided for applying the cooling medium to the rolled stock.
Claims21
A device for cooling flat rolled stock, comprising:
- an outer shroud arranged at only one surface of the flat rolled stock;
- a nozzle for applying a coolant to the rolled stock;
- a cooling chamber in fluid communication with the nozzle and extending essentially parallel to a strip passline for applying the coolant to only the one surface of the rolled stock;
- and
- an adjusting device for moving the outer shroud substantially parallel to the strip passline and the one surface to reverse a flow direction of the coolant in the cooling chamber, wherein the outer shroud is shiftable from a first position to a second position so that, depending on the position of the outer shroud, two feed lines and two drains are respectively connectable to each other so that the flow direction of the coolant is changed.
