METHOD OF RECOVERING SENSIBLE HEAT FROM SLAB CASTED ACCORDING TO CONTINUOUS CASTING METHOD AND DEVICE FOR EXECUTING SAID METHOD

摘要

In a plant for recovering the sensible heat of continuously cast slabs, the slabs are guided through a cooling chamber in which heat is given off from the slabs to a cooling medium. In order to achieve a high heat yield and a low exit temperature of the slabs, the cooling medium is brought into direct contact with the slab surfaces within the cooling chamber, and the heated cooling medium is used as a heating medium in a heat exchanger in contact with a recirculating medium.
