Definitions
- aqueous baths Methods using aqueous baths are also known. During the immersion in such a water bath, laminar flow, non-turbulent, a vapor film is formed around the son to be cooled (see, for example, EP-A-0 216 434 ). This vapor film is thermally insulating, so it slows down the cooling
- Current running drive means are shown schematically by references 23 and 24.
- the water can be supplied by an inlet 5 and be evacuated from the top by an overflow 6. In the illustrated tank the height of water column is equal to about 750mm H 2 O (7350 Pa).
- the overflow 6 may be in communication with a lower inlet 5 ', through a not shown heat exchanger, so as to put the cooling water in circulation.
