Abstract

An apparatus is disclosed for applying a fluid coolant to the surface of rotating work roll in a rolling mill. The apparatus includes a housing having a generally concave inner edge configured and dimensioned to partially surround the surface of the work roll. The housing is subdivided into mating half sections having abutting interior surfaces. First grooves in the abutting interior surfaces are arranged in a confronting relationship to define a manifold conduit and second grooves in the same interior surfaces are arranged in a confronting relationship to define nozzle conduits leading from the manifold conduit to the concave inner edge of the housing. An inlet is provided in the housing through which a fluid coolant may be fed to the manifold conduit for application via the nozzle conduits to the surface of the work roll.
