Apparatus for quenching elongated cylindrical pressure vessels

摘要

The invention relates to an apparatus for quenching elongated cylindrical bodies heated to hardening temperature which are transported by means of a turning apparatus through a trough filled with liquid. In order to achieve uniform quenching over the length of the bodies, they are sprayed over their entire length and virtually perpendicular to their longitudinal direction with a swirling spray of liquid from one or more nozzles of a feed line. <IMAGE>
