Abstract

Metal articles are cooled continuously by means of a conical jet of liquid injected into a jet of gas projected at low pressure and high speed onto the articles. The injection is carried out in such a way that particles of liquid are distributed throughout the jet, thus forming a mist which is projected onto the articles. Variable high coefficients of heat exchange are obtained.
