METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PREVENTING UNDESIRABLE COOLING OF THE STRIP EDGE AREAS OF A CAST STRAND

摘要

A method and an apparatus for preventing undesirable intensive cooling particularly of the strip edge areas of a cast strand resulting from running water emerging from the bottom opening of a secondary cooling chamber, wherein high--energy spray jets of a deflection medium are produced and directed against the emerging running water transversely of the strip edge areas of the cast strand, such that the running water is deflected from the strip edge areas and is discharged through outlet openings of the secondary, cooling chamber arranged on both sides of the cast strand.
