Abstract

A method of adjusting a position of two shield elements for a liquid cooling medium and arranged above a metal strip having a strip plane and a strip central plane extending transverse to the strip plane and intersecting the same along the strip central axis, with the two shield elements being located opposite each other with respect to the strip central plane and having each an adjustable component identical to the adjustable component of another of the two shield elements and adjustable transverse to the strip central plane, and with the method including providing an adjusting element connectable with the two shield elements for adjusting the same, and adjusting the adjusting element in the strip central plane; and a device for effecting the method.
