  • Spray cooling system for continuous steel casting machine
    Patent number: 4494594
    Abstract: A mold tube is contained within an open water-cooling vessel, and the tube is cooled by directing water sprays at it. Although a steam barrier would otherwise form around the mold tube and prevent water penetration, thus resulting in a tube melt-down, this effect of the steam barrier is eliminated if certain operating parameters have values within critical ranges. The important parameters include the distance between the spray nozzles and the mold tube, the angle of each water spray, and the overlap of the sprays on the mold tube.

  • System for oscillating mold tube in continuous steel casting machine
    Patent number: 4483385
    Abstract: A mold tube is contained within an open water-cooling vessel, and the tube is cooled by directing water sprays at it. Because of the use of a water-cooling system which does not require a pressure-tight integral mold tube/water system, the cooling system may remain stationary while the mold tube is oscillated. In this way the oscillating mechanism can be relatively inexpensive, the total weight which must be moved up and down typically being in the range of 80-200 pounds.
