Problems solved by technology

However this is difficult to achieve due to the huge volume of water used
In particular, the switching-on and switching-off processes cannot be carried out satisfactorily quickly with most existing configurations including regulating valves, so that the switching-on process of the cooling often takes more than 10 seconds to achieve the desired cooling rate
However, because in many cases the rolling stock moves through the equipment at a speed of several meters per second, a large strip length is not cooled at the desired cooling rate, resulting in a loss of mass in this strip section
[0004] A further disadvantage is the high forces acting on the piping system or the cooling device during switching of the cooling
Especially during the rapid switching process of the cooling water supply, there is a risk of strong pressure shocks damaging the cooling system
Such pressure peaks can even lead to failure of the cooling system and thus of the entire rolling mill

Embodiment Construction

[0030] For a better understanding first refer to figure 1 Shown prior art. Depicted in the figure is the overhead storage tank 4 used as a coolant reservoir. The coolant can usually be delivered to the distributor 6 or distribution pipe 6 via lines. From a distributor 6 coolant can be delivered to a plurality of spray beams 1 . Here, the spray beams 1 each comprise a plurality of outlets 7 for applying coolant to the metal strip. As shown, a measuring sensor 15 (eg for detecting the coolant pressure or coolant volume flow), a control valve 9 or a shut-off cock 8 can be arranged between the distributor 6 and the corresponding injection beam 1 . Through these elements, the flow of coolant directed into the respective spray beam 1 can be monitored and regulated.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for dynamically supplying coolant to a cooling device, in particular at least one spray bar, for cooling metal strip or other rolled stock. According to the method, a pre-accelerated stream of coolant is provided, which passes by the cooling device (1) and is fed into a return (3). Furthermore, the presence and / or the temperature of a metal strip or other rolled stock to be cooled is monitored and, depending on the presence and / or the temperature of the metal strip or the other rolled stock, the stream of coolant is diverted to the cooling device (1), wherein, instead of passing by the cooling device (1) and being fed into a return (3), the stream of coolant is fed to the cooling device (1) for cooling the metal strip or the other rolled stock. The present invention also comprises a corresponding device for carrying out the method.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method and a device for dynamically supplying coolant to a cooling plant for cooling a metal strip or other rolling stock. The cooling device may notably comprise one or more spray beams. Background technique [0002] Various systems are known from the prior art for supplying cooling water from overhead storage tanks for laminar cooling or pressure cooling in hot rolling mills. To cool the hot rolling stock, a considerable amount of cooling water is required in order to sufficiently define and rapidly cool the strip, depending on the requirements of the finished product. The volume of water required to achieve a specified cooling rate often moves on the order of hundreds or even thousands of cubic meters per second. This extremely large quantity of water is conveyed from the overhead storage tank to the spray beam, for example via a line system which can be throttled by a valve. [0003] exist figure 1 Such a system accor...
