  • FIG. 12 shows a schematic section through a scaffold cooler 20 with cooling tubes 23a instead of cooling nozzles 23 (see FIG. 6, right). Cooling tubes 23a are typically operated with an overpressure between 0.1 and 1 bar, so that they can easily realize a so-called laminar cooling.
  • FIG. 14 shows an alternative scaffold cooler 20 for the scaffolding block of FIG. 7 in C-shape. Since the C-shaped scaffold ⁇ cooler 20 in the width direction B is open at one end of the scaffold cooler 20 can be easily switched on and during operation of the rolling mill in a rolling stand to be removed again.
  • the connections 22 of the upper and lower water box 21a, 21b, the cooling nozzles 23 and the guide surfaces 26 are identical to FIG. 7.
  • the scaffold cooler 20 could also have wheels for guidance on a rail.
  • the uprights 27 are arranged only at one end of the scaffold cooler, for example, the user-side end.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une cage de laminage (11) dans laquelle est monté, au lieu des cylindres de travail (5) et des empoises associées (5a, 5b), un refroidisseur de cage (20) pour le refroidissement d'un feuillard en acier. Le refroidisseur de cage (20) est dimensionné à cette fin de manière telle qu'il peut être monté à travers le montant de laminoir (1) côté manœuvre de la cage de laminage (11) dans la cage de laminage (11). Le refroidisseur de cage (20) comprend une boîte à eau inférieure (21b) et une boîte à eau supérieure (21a), qui présentent à chaque fois un raccord (22) pour un agent de refroidissement et plusieurs buses de refroidissement (23) ou tubes de refroidissement (23a) disposés dans la direction de la profondeur (T) du refroidisseur de cage (20) ou au moins une fente de refroidissement (24) s'étendant dans la direction de la profondeur (T) du refroidisseur de cage (20). Ainsi, les boîtes à eau inférieure et supérieure (21b, 21a) peuvent être alimentées en agent de refroidissement via le raccord respectif et le côté inférieur du feuillard en acier (50) peut être refroidi par les buses de refroidissement (23) ou les tubes de refroidissement (23a) ou la fente de refroidissement (24) de la boîte à eau inférieure (21b) et le côté supérieur du feuillard en acier (50) peut être refroidi par les buses de refroidissement (23) ou les tubes de refroidissement (23a) ou la fente de refroidissement (24) de la boîte à eau supérieure (21a).
