Cooling device for strands that are to be cast continuously

摘要

The invention relates to a cooling device for strands that are to be cast continuously, in particular for steel slabs of different widths. Spray nozzles connected to pipe conduits for supplying a coolant are distributed over the width and the length of the strand. The hitherto known cooling devices used in continuous casting have the disadvantage that the cooling effect becomes irregular when the slab size is changed. This disadvantage is eliminated by the device of the invention by arranging the spray nozzles horizontally displaceable transverse in relation to the strand surface.
