  • the invention relates to a cooling device for strands that are to be cast continuously, in particular for steel slabs of different widths, with spray nozzles distributed over the width and length of the strand. which nozzles are connected to pipe conduits for the supply with the cooling medium.
  • spray nozzles with a flat characteristic and a staggered arrangement of the nozzles, seen in transport direction of the strand, have been proposed; moreover it has been known to supply the spray nozzles groupwisely with a cooling agent, wherein the capacity of the cooling agent of the one group selectively alternates, cyclically with the altered capacity of the cooling agent of another group. Finally it has also been recommended to provide individual rows of spray nozzles to be completely separately capable of being regulated or turned off, respectively, in particular the nozzles lying in the range of the edges of the strand, so that the strand edges be not cooled too strongly, which leads to the formation of cracks.
  • the turning off of individual spray nozzles has the disadvantage that, when the nozzles remain turned off for a longer period. im purities of the cooling agent are deposited in the pipe conduits, which may lead to a choking of the nozzle bores, when the nozzles are turned on again.
  • a preferred embodiment consists in that the spray nozzles can be moved oscillating within two limit lines, which can be adjusted in a freely selectable distance from the strand edges.
  • At least two spray nozzles per strand side are arranged displaceably side by side in a plane perpendicular to the strand surface, wherein their displacement range is smaller than half the strand width.
  • spray nozzles can be moved towards each other or away from each other mirror-symmetrically in relation to the strand center.
  • a development of the invention consists in that the spray nozzles seen in transport direction of the strand are arranged staggered in a manner known per se and are combined in groups, wherein the degree of staggered arrangement advantageously corresponds to the displacement range.
  • FIG. I shows a side view of a continuous casting plant for slabs, illustrated schematically.
  • FIG. 2 is a view of the width of the slab below the mold, wherein for reasons of better clarity the supportand guiding rollers are not shown.
  • FIG. I 1 denotes a water-cooled. vertically oscillating mold, from which a strand 2 is withdrawn.
  • the rollers for supporting, guiding and bending the strand 2 from the vertical to the horizontal are denoted with 3 and the driven withdrawing rollers are denoted with 4; the withdrawal direction is indicated by the arrow 5.
  • the cooling device arranged to follow the mold I the so-called secondary cooling zone, comprises three sec tions 6, 7 and 8, formed by the cooling-water pipes 9, l 1, l2 and the spray nozzles 10.
  • the spray nozzles 10 are arranged between the rollers 3 in all three cooling sections. According to the invention the spray nozzles are, groupwise together with the pertaining coolingwater-supply pipes 9, II, 12, horizontally displaceable, transversely to the strand surface, as can be seen in detail from FIG. 2.
  • Each section 6, 7, 8 of the cooling system is provided with two spray nozzle rows per strand side, which spray nozzles are parallel in relation to the strand center 20 and are fixedly connected with the pipes 9, I], 12.
  • As drive means for the pipes various installations known to the man skilled in the art may be used, as e.g.
  • the distance b of the limit lines 18 from the strand edges 19 is fixed corresponding to the opening angle of the spray nozzles, so that a subcooling of the strand is avoided.
  • the distance between the limit lines 17 also depends on the spray characteristic of the nozzles used, i.e. it is to be chosen in such a way that also the middle zone is completely actuated by the coolant, when the spray nozzles are in one final position 9, ll, 12.
  • the number of spray nozzles forming a group 6, 7, 8 may fluctuate between i and n, preferably between 2 and n; with narrow slabs one can do with one single spray nozzle oscillating forward and backward between the lines 18 in a plane between the rollers 3 and with wide slabs two spray nozzles 10 in a plane are sufficient, which are then arranged, as illustrated in FIG. 2, and are moved in opposite direction relative to each other. Also the number of spray nozzles 10 of a group arranged one following the other in the direction of the movement 5 of the strand 2 may vary between 1 and n.
  • Each group can therefore comprise a different number of nozzles; it is however important that the spray nozzles be arranged mirror-symmetrically in relation to the strand center and that the horizontal movement of the pipes l3, l4, l5 correspond in one and the same plane on both halves of the strand.
  • lf as shown in this embodiment only two nozzles 10 each are used between the rollers 3, the nozzles can have a correspondingly big exit cross section which can hardly be choked by impurities contained in the coolant; the operational reliability of the device is thus decreased and much less maintenance of the secondary cooling zone is necessary, because in the coolant system there is no need for complicated control and regulating devices.
  • a cooling device for strands that are to be cast continuously, in particular for flat steel slabs of different widths, said strands having edges and a pair of parallel flat surfaces, said cooling device comprising a plurality of spray nozzles distributed over the width and along a given length of the strand, the spray nozzles being connected to pipe conduits for supplying them with a coolant, the improvement in which the spray nozzles are movable along horizontal straight line paths within a displacement range less than the width of said strand, said paths being transverse to the strand surface.
  • a cooling device for strands that are to be cast continuously, in particular for steel slabs of different widths, said strands having edges and a surface.
  • said cooling device including a plurality of spray nozzles distributed over the width and along a given length of the strand, the spray nozzles being connected to pipe conduits for supplying them with a coolant, the improvement in which, said spray nozzles are movable horizontally and transverse to the strand surface in an oscillatory manner between two limit lines, the limit lines being adjustable within a freely selectable distance from the edges of the strand.
