Original abstract

The cooling of vertically moving strips is used very often to obtain the required material properties. Water spray cooling has to be used when a high cooling intensity is needed. Our Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow Laboratory is equipped with a testing device which allows vertical movement of a heated experimental plate (sheet). Two different sizes of flat-jet nozzles were tested with different water pressures and angles of the water impact (inclination angles of the spraying bar). The water-pressure range was between 2 bar and 9.3 bar and the angle of the water impact changed from 20 deg to 40 deg. The dependence of the heat-transfer coefficient on the surface temperature was evaluated for each experiment. Interesting results were obtained from the comparison of these experimental results, showing that the heat-transfer coefficient and the Leidenfrost temperature increase with the increasing water pressure. Very interesting results were obtained during the tests with different inclination angles. The highest heat-transfer coefficient was obtained for the angle of 20 deg and the lowest value of the heat-transfer coefficient was obtained for the angle of 40 deg at the surface temperatures of around 200 degrese of Celsius.
