Abstract
An apparatus for controlled cooling and a control method related to controlled cooling of hot plate or strip shaped metal. The apparatus comprises a header fitted with a first valve which allows air to escape from the header and prevents cooling fluid escaping from the header when being filled and prevents air from getting back into the header. During operation due to the apparatus an improved operation even at low flow rates is possible.
