- Intake manifold 7.2 mesh. This configuration allows an adjustment of the distance of the injection openings 7.11 from the suction openings 7.21 by moving the comb-shaped Blasrohrgechanes 7.1 relative to the comb-shaped Saugrohrgesente 7.2.
- the zinc separator 10 is preferably provided with a cooling device which effects resublimation of zinc vapor.
- the resulting zinc dust can be separated by means of a separator from the protective gas and passed into a collection container 10.1.
- the content of zinc vapor and zinc dust gradually decreases from the zinc bath surface 3.1 towards the annealing furnace to a temperature in the range of 450 to 600 ° C.
- the trunk 1 with the Blow-suction device or the blow-suction boxes 6.1, 6.2 is heated by this gas flow so that at any point of the trunk 1, the dew point or Resublimationstemperatur of zinc vapor is exceeded.
- the Gaseinblaskanäle 7.10 run along the tape longitudinal axis or Russellssensachse and parallel to the suction lines arranged therebetween 7.20. In combination with the suction lines 7.20, the gas injection channels 7.10 cover a longitudinal section of the strip 2 completely or in the
- the device 6 is designed as a push-pull system.
- hot inert gas is injected with slight overpressure on the injection openings 7.11 in the trunk 1, to generate at the injection openings 7.11 (outlet points) cross flows.
- the injected inert gas stream is set equal to or slightly below the extracted gas flow amount.
- the protective gas flow injected per band side (blower suction box 6.1 or 6.2) is about 150 Nm 3 / h at about 600 ° C., while the protective gas stream drawn off per band side including zinc vapor is about 200 Nm 3 / h
- the trunk 1 is also provided with an outer heat insulation 12 to the inside of the trunk walls on a
- the lowest part of the trunk 1, i. the trunk end piece 1.1 located between the blowing suction device and the zinc bath 3 is preferably provided with a heat insulation 13.
- the thermal insulation 13 ensures that the so
- the thermal insulation 13 is formed for example of mineral wool and / or ceramic plates and surrounds the trunk end 1.1 preferably jacket-shaped.
- a further embodiment of the invention provides that the trunk end piece 1.1 is provided with a heating device (not shown) in addition or alternatively to the heat insulation 13.
- the oven trunk 1 can be divided into three areas A, B and C with respect to the protective gas (see FIG. 1).
- the area A comprises the end piece 1.1, which is preferably provided with a thermal insulation 13. In this area A occurs a relatively high zinc vapor loading at low
- the surface temperature of the snout 1 is above 440 ° C in this area.
- the region A is followed by the region B which is equipped with the blow-suction device according to the invention (eg in the form of the blow-suction boxes 6.1, 6.2).
- the area B serves as a separation lock or gas curtain. It interrupts the "natural gas flow", in particular the entrainment of protective gas in the direction caused by the belt movement
- Zinc bath 3 by injection of purified hot inert gas with simultaneous extraction of zinc vapor laden in close proximity to the injection points 7.11.
- the surface temperatures of the blower suction boxes 6.1, 6.2 and the insides of the spout 1 are above the dew point or resublimation temperature of zinc vapor, i. above 400 ° C.
- Area C is characterized by a low zinc vapor content in the protective gas.
- the surface temperature of the inside of the trunk is more than 300 ° C. in the region C, which prevents condensation or resublimation of the zinc pot which is still slightly present there in the protective gas.
