Abstract

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung sowie ein Kühlmedium zum Kühlen von walzwarmen Profilen mittels eines Kühlmediums.The invention relates to a method and an apparatus and a cooling medium for cooling warm-rolled profiles by means of a cooling medium.

Bekannt ist langsames Abkühlen von Walzgut aus der Walzhitze, beispielsweise auf einem Kühlbett mit ruhender Luft. Für schneileres Abkühlen wird zwangsweise bewegte Luft in Form einer energiereichen Strömung aus Ventilatoren verwendet. Je nach den sich dabei einstellenden Parametern wie Masse oder Struktur des abzukühlenden Walzgutes, Geschwindigkeit der Kühlluftströmung, deren Temperatur und/oder Feuchte ergibt sich fallweise ein bis Faktor 3 gegenüber Abkühlung in ruhender Luft erhöhter Gradient der Temperaturerniedrigung beim abzukühlenden Walzgut.Slow cooling of rolling stock from the rolling heat is known, for example on a cooling bed with still air. For faster cooling, moving air in the form of a high-energy flow from fans is used. Depending on the parameters that arise, such as the mass or structure of the rolling stock to be cooled, the speed of the cooling air flow, its temperature and / or humidity, a gradient of the temperature decrease in the rolling stock to be cooled that is up to a factor of 3 compared to cooling in still air results in some cases.

Wegen des bei Kühlung in ruhender oder bewegter Luft relativ geringen Wärme-Übergangskoeffizienten zwischen Walzgut und Luft wird für die vorgesehene Temperaturerniedrigung eines Walzgutes eine vergleichsweise große Luftmenge benötigt. Im Falle eines Kühlbettes hat dies beispielsweise zur Folge, daß das Kühlbett eine große Länge und Breite erfordert und entsprechend hohe sowohl Investitions- als auch Betriebskosten, beispielsweise für Transport- und Betriebsmittel, erfordert. Im Falle zwangsweise beschleunigter Kühlluft zur Erzielung eines intensiveren Kühlverlaufes erfordert dies eine kostenträchtige Lüfterkapazität mit hohem Energieeinsatz, weil in vielen Fällen der energetische und/oder thermische Wirkungsgrad eines derartigen Kühlsystems relativ gering sein kann.Because of the relatively low heat transition coefficient between rolling stock and air when cooling in still or moving air, a comparatively large amount of air is required for the intended temperature reduction of a rolling stock. In the case of a cooling bed, this has the consequence, for example, that the cooling bed requires a large length and width and correspondingly high both investment and Operating costs, for example for transport and operating resources, required. In the case of forcedly accelerated cooling air to achieve a more intensive cooling process, this requires a costly fan capacity with high energy input, because in many cases the energy and / or thermal efficiency of such a cooling system can be relatively low.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren, eine zu dessen Ausführung geeignete Vorrichtung und ein Kühlmedium anzugeben, durch welche die vorgenannten Schwierigkeiten und Nachteile wenigstens größtenteils überwunden und die ökonomischen Daten einer Kühlvorrichtung wesentlich verbessert werden.The invention is based on the object of specifying a method, a device suitable for carrying it out, and a cooling medium by which the aforementioned difficulties and disadvantages are at least largely overcome and the economic data of a cooling device are substantially improved.

Die Lösung der gestellten Aufgabe wird bei einem Verfahren zum Kühlen walzwarmer Profile mit der Erfindung dadurch erreicht, daß als Kühlmedium Luft verwendet wird, der eine das Profil benetzende Flüssigkeit zugesetzt und darin als Aerosol homogen dispergiert wird.The object is achieved in a method for cooling warm-rolled profiles with the invention in that air is used as the cooling medium, to which a liquid wetting the profile is added and homogeneously dispersed therein as an aerosol.

Durch die Verwendung eines Aerosols als Kühlmittel wird der Wärmeübergangskoeffizient zwischen dem strömenden Kühlmedium und der Oberfläche des zu kühlenden Walzgutes und damit der Gradient der Temperaturerniedrigung des Walzgutes signifikant verbessert. Weitere Ausgestaltungen des Verfahrens sind entsprechend den Unteransprüchen vorgesehen.By using an aerosol as a coolant, the heat transfer coefficient between the flowing cooling medium and the surface of the rolling stock to be cooled and thus the gradient of the temperature reduction of the rolling stock is significantly improved. Further refinements of the method are provided in accordance with the subclaims.

Eine Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des Verfahrens ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß sie wenigstens ein Organ zur Erzeugung einer energiereichen Aerosol-Strömung aufweist, welches eine an eine Druckluftquelle anschließbare, bevorzugt druckeinstellbare Beschleunigungsdüse und einen Anschluß an eine Flüssigkeitszufuhreinrichtung besitzt.A device for performing the method is characterized in that it has at least one organ for generating an energy-rich aerosol flow, which preferably connects to a compressed air source has pressure-adjustable acceleration nozzle and a connection to a liquid supply device.

Bevorzugt ist das Organ mit einem Anschluß für Ansaugluft als selbstansaugender Injektor für Flüssigkeit und Luft ausgebildet und besitzt Mittel zum anteilmäßigen Einstellen eines vorgegebenen Verhältnisses von Luft und darin dispergierbarer Flüssigkeit. Weitere Ausgestaltungen der Vorrichtungen sind entsprechend den Unteransprüchen vorgesehen.The organ is preferably designed with a connection for intake air as a self-priming injector for liquid and air and has means for proportionally setting a predetermined ratio of air and liquid dispersible therein. Further configurations of the devices are provided according to the subclaims.

Ein Kühlmedium für walzwarmes Walzprofil, welches überwiegend Luft enthält, ist erfindungsgemäß dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Luft Anteile von Flüssigkeit in homogener Dispersion unter Ausbildung eines Kühl-Aerosols enthält.A cooling medium for a hot-rolled roll profile, which predominantly contains air, is characterized according to the invention in that the air contains portions of liquid in homogeneous dispersion with the formation of a cooling aerosol.

Weitere Einzelheiten, Merkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung werden nachfolgend anhand von Zeichnungen erläutert.Further details, features and advantages of the invention are explained below with reference to drawings.

Figur 1 zeigt ein Organ (10) zur Erzeugung einer energiereichen Aerosol-Strömung (26). Es besitzt eine an eine Druckluftquelle (11) anschließbare Beschleunigungsdüse (12) und wenigstens einen Anschluß (13) zum Ansaugen von Flüssigkeit aus einer Flüssigkeitszufuhreinrichtung (14). Stromaufwärts der Beschleunigungsdüse (12) befindet sich ein Drosselventil (2) zum Einstellen der eingespeisten Druckluftmenge. Weiterhin befindet sich an dem Organ (10) ein Anschluß (15) für Ansaugluft. Sowohl im Anschluß (15) als auch in der Flüssigkeitszufuhreinrichtung (14) sind Mittel (16, 17) beispielsweise in Form von schwenkbaren Drosselscheiben zum anteilmäßigen Einstellen eines vorgegebenen Verhältnisses Luft/Flüssigkeit vorhanden. Das Organ (10) mit der Beschleunigungsdüse (12) und dem Gehäuse (3) ist als selbstansaugender Injektor für Flüssigkeit und Luft ausgebildet. Hierfür ist das Gehäuse (3) im Querschnittsbereich von Anschluß (13) nach Art eines Venturi-Rohres verengt und daran anschließend zum freien Ende stetig erweitert. Dadurch ergibt sich im Bereich des engsten Querschnittes und stromaufwärts davon eine Unterdruck-Zone, die es dem Organ (10) ermöglicht, selbsttätig Flüssigkeit und Luft anzusaugen und die beiden Medien zu einer intensiven Aerosol-Strömung (26) homogen zu dispergieren.Figure 1 shows an organ (10) for generating an energy-rich aerosol flow (26). It has an acceleration nozzle (12) which can be connected to a compressed air source (11) and at least one connection (13) for sucking in liquid from a liquid supply device (14). Upstream of the acceleration nozzle (12) there is a throttle valve (2) for setting the amount of compressed air fed in. Furthermore, there is a connection (15) for intake air on the organ (10). Both in the connection (15) and in the liquid supply device (14) there are means (16, 17), for example in the form of pivotable throttle disks, for proportionally setting a predetermined air / liquid ratio. The organ (10) with the acceleration nozzle (12) and the housing (3) is designed as a self-priming injector for liquid and air. For this purpose, the housing (3) is narrowed in the cross-sectional area of connection (13) in the manner of a Venturi tube and then continuously expanded to the free end. This results in a vacuum zone in the area of the narrowest cross-section and upstream of it, which enables the organ (10) to automatically suck in liquid and air and to homogeneously disperse the two media into an intensive aerosol flow (26).

In der Figur 2 ist eine beispielhafte Anordnung gezeigt, bei welcher mehrere Aerosol-erzeugende Organe (10), in Bewegungsrichtung (4) des Profils (1) hintereinander, in einer das Profil (1) senkrecht schneidenden Ebene jeweils an einer gemeinsamen Halterung (18), konzentrisch gegen das Profil (1) gerichtet, unter Ausbildung eines Kühlsystems angeordnet sind.An exemplary arrangement is shown in FIG. 2, in which a plurality of aerosol-generating organs (10), one behind the other in the direction of movement (4) of the profile (1) the profile (1) vertically intersecting plane are each arranged on a common holder (18), concentrically directed against the profile (1), with the formation of a cooling system.

Und schließlich kann gemäß einer rein schematischen Darstellung in der Figur 3 eine Anordnung vorgesehen sein, bei welcher mehrere in Transportrichtung (4) des Profils (1) vorgesehene Kühlsysteme unter Ausbildung einer Kühlstrecke (19) in Reihe angeordnet sind. Die von den Aerosol-erzeugenden Organen (10) gebildeten Aerosol-Ströme (26) umhüllen das Profil (1) mit dichten Aerosol-Wolken aus gerichteten energiereichen Strömungen, die gegen das Profil (1) geblasen werden und auf diese Weise für eine rasche Kühlung sorgen.And finally, according to a purely schematic representation in FIG. 3, an arrangement can be provided in which a plurality of cooling systems provided in the transport direction (4) of the profile (1) are arranged in series to form a cooling section (19). The aerosol streams (26) formed by the aerosol-producing organs (10) envelop the profile (1) with dense aerosol clouds from directed high-energy flows which are blown against the profile (1) and in this way for rapid cooling to care.

Figur 4 zeigt vergleichende Kurven der Abkühlzeiten jeweils gleichartiger Walzprofile in Abhängigkeit von unterschiedlichen Kühlmedien. Die oberste Kurve I stellt den Abkühlverlauf eines Walzprofils von anfänglich 900 °C auf 90 °C innerhalb von 70 Minuten in ruhender, trockener Luft dar. Die mittlere Kurve II zeigt das Abkühlverhalten eines Walzprofils mit beschleunigter Luftströmung von anfänglich 900 °C auf 90 °C innerhalb von 26 Minuten. Nach der unteren Kurve III findet unter Verwendung einer beschleunigten Aerosolströmung eine rapide Abkühlung eines Walzprofils von 900 °C auf 90 °C in 7,5 Minuten statt. Damit ist erwiesen, daß die Abkühlung mit einem Wasser/Luft-Aerosol als Kühlmedium eine signifikante Verbesserung des Abkühlverhaltens bei walzwarmem Gut bewirkt.FIG. 4 shows comparative curves of the cooling times of the same type of rolling profile as a function of different cooling media. The top curve I represents the cooling process of a rolling profile from initially 900 ° C to 90 ° C within 70 minutes in still, dry air. The middle curve II shows the cooling behavior of a rolling profile with accelerated air flow from an initial 900 ° C to 90 ° C within 26 minutes. According to the lower curve III, using an accelerated aerosol flow, a rolling profile is rapidly cooled from 900 ° C. to 90 ° C. in 7.5 minutes. It has thus been proven that cooling with a water / air aerosol as the cooling medium brings about a significant improvement in the cooling behavior in the case of goods that are hot from the roll.

Die Erfindung ist nicht auf die in den Figuren gezeigten Beispiele beschränkt. Insbesondere können Vorrichtungen zur Erzeugung von Aerosol des Typs Wasser/Luft auf unterschiedliche, dem Fachmann bekannte Art und Weise erzeugt werden. Beispielsweise können Flüssigkeit und Luft zwangsweise gefördert, volumetrisch dosiert und zerstäubt werden. Auch die Anordnung bzw. Ausbildung von Kühlsystemen oder Kühlstrecken ist je nach betrieblicher Situation der Erfahrung des Fachmannes überlassen.The invention is not restricted to the examples shown in the figures. In particular, devices for producing aerosol of the water / air type can be used different ways known to those skilled in the art are generated. For example, liquid and air can be forcibly conveyed, metered volumetrically and atomized. The arrangement or design of cooling systems or cooling sections is also left to the experience of the specialist, depending on the operational situation.

Die Erfindung ist unkompliziert und wirksam und ermöglicht außer sparsamem Einsatz des Trägermediums Luft eine Reduzierung der für die Kühlung walzwarmer Profile erforderlichen Anlagenteile und deren Energiebedarf. Insofern erfüllt die Erfindung in optimaler Weise die eingangs gestellte Aufgabe.The invention is uncomplicated and effective and, in addition to the economical use of the carrier medium air, enables a reduction in the system parts required for cooling hot-rolled profiles and in their energy requirements. In this respect, the invention optimally fulfills the task set out above.
