Abstract
Plural strands of wire emerging from the cooling tower of a galvanizing line are cooled from about an elevated temperature to ambient temperature by heat exchange apparatus in which the strands are passed through an agitated, flowing stream of cooling water. The apparatus is designed to accommodate knots that connect strands in end-to-end relation or other strand surface irregularities. It also permits disorientation of the strands from their respective pass lines without disrupting operation of the apparatus.
