  • the apparatus and method can be used to clean some particulates from a surface or for applying a very thin coating to a surface.
  • Hot and cold metal rolling processes often require the addition to and subsequent removal of coolant fluids from metal strip which is being advanced in a continuous line.
  • coolant fluids is often essential for maintaining the temperature of strip materials when undergoing compression between the work rolls in a roll stand.
  • the coolant can cause problems dn downstream processes .

  • US Patent No. 5,701,775 describes an apparatus including two consecutive liquid knife nozzles directed across the width of a moving strip surface to remove all of the residual cooling water from an advancing strip. As shown in US 5,701,775, a first liquid knife supplies a jet of water which intercepts forwardly directed coolant retained on the strip with sufficient momentum to arrest its advance.
  • a subsequent, second liquid knife nozzle can supply a jet of a liquid immiscible with water to displace any residual water, where the immiscible liquid does not stain the strip surface (such as a lubricant oil) .

Abstract

L'invention porte sur un appareil (5, 5A) conçu pour contrôler la hauteur d'une quantité de liquide résiduel (50) sur la face externe supérieure d'une bande mobile sensiblement horizontale (12). Comme illustré dans les figures (1, 2, 2A), l'appareil (5, 5A) comprend des premier et second dispositifs dirigeant le fluide se présentant sous forme de lames (14, 20) (orifices de type fentes). La lame (14) est agencée de façon à diriger l'écoulement d'un premier fluide au niveau de la surface de la bande (12). Le premier fluide est généralement un courant-jet sous pression (16) d'un liquide s'écoulant selon un angle aigu A par rapport à la surface de la bande (12). Un second dispositif dirigeant le fluide se présentant sous la forme d'une lame (20) est agencé de façon à diriger l'écoulement d'un seconde fluide au niveau de la surface de la bande (Figure 2, 2A) ou du premier écoulement de fluide (Figure 3, 3A) de façon à réduire l'intensité de l'impact du premier écoulement de fluide par rapport à la surface de la bande. Le second fluide est généralement un courant-jet sous pression (22) d'un gaz s'écoulant depuis une lame (20) selon un angle aigu B par rapport à la bande (12).
