COOLING DEVICE FOR COOLING A METAL STRIP

摘要

The invention relates to a cooling device (100) for cooling a metal strip (200) following reshaping in a cold rolling stand (200) having at least one nozzle (112) for spraying a cooling medium (400) onto the surface of the me tal strip (200). In order to make such known cooling devices more effective and more efficient, the invention proposes providing a plate (500) which, in an operational position, is arranged parallel to the surface of the metal s trip (200) at the outlet of the cold rolling stand (300), and proposes arran ging the nozzle in the operation position in such a way that the cooling med ium is sprayed at an acute spray angle .alpha. into a cavity between the sur face of the metal strip and the opposite plate with a spray direction (R) co unter to the running direction (L) of the metal strip.
