Definitions

  • the invention relates to an apparatus for spraying a cryogenic fluid to a work piece.
  • the invention further relates to a method for spraying a cryogenic fluid to a work piece.
  • cryogenic fluids for cooling in some metal rolling processes such as the cold rolling of aluminium
  • moisture from the surrounding atmosphere can condense onto the equipment and form water, ice or snow which can then fall or be carried onto the strip and damage it.
  • WO 2012/110241 A1 proposes to provide a shroud which surrounds at least part of the delivery nozzle for spraying the cryogenic fluid.
  • the shroud is arranged to form an essentially closed space together with the work piece and it comprises means for keeping the outside of said shielding means at a temperature above the dew point.
  • the shroud and the work piece are arranged close to each other and an essentially closed space is formed which prevents atmospheric air from entering the area within the shroud.
  • An object of this invention is to avoid getting any water into the shroud when it has been retracted from the work piece.
  • Another object of the invention is to avoid getting moisture into the shroud while the shroud is being retracted from the work piece.
  • Another object of the invention is to prevent water droplets from staining the work piece.
  • an apparatus for spraying a cryogenic fluid to a work piece comprising
  • cryogenic fluid such as liquid nitrogen
  • the cryogenic fluid will evaporate and displace the air from the volume confined by the shroud and the work piece.
  • the shroud will be filled with liquid and gaseous cryogen.
  • the shroud is preferably provided with an opening aligned with the orifice of the delivery nozzle(s).
  • aligned shall mean that the nozzle orifice and the opening in the front face of the shroud are arranged in such a way that the cryogenic fluid leaving the delivery nozzle passes part of the interior of the shroud, that is the essentially closed space, and then leaves the shroud through said opening in the front face of the shroud in order to be sprayed to or onto the work piece.
  • the shroud might surround only one delivery nozzle or more than one delivery nozzle, that is two or more delivery nozzles. Preferably all delivery nozzles for supplying the cryogenic fluid are located within one shroud.
  • the open front face of the shroud is closed by the work piece when the delivery nozzle for spraying the cryogenic fluid and the work piece are in working configuration.
  • working configuration shall mean that the delivery nozzle and the work piece are arranged in such a way that cryogenic fluid can be sprayed onto the work piece without causing condensation of atmospheric water vapour/moisture on the work piece or within the shroud.
  • the shroud and the work piece form an essentially closed space.
  • the outer surface of the shroud is preferably kept at a temperature above the dew point temperature.
  • the dew point is defined as the temperature at which at a given pressure water vapour will condense into water.
  • the temperature of the outer walls of the shroud shall be above the dew point of the surrounding ambient air.
  • the outside of the shroud shall be kept at a temperature of at least a few degrees centigrade above the dew point temperature of the ambient air.
  • the outer surface of the shroud is kept at least at the temperature of the surrounding atmosphere. Thereby, condensation of water vapour at the outer surface of the shroud is avoided.
  • the shroud preferably comprises an enclosure, a shell or a box-like element with an opening arranged to be turned towards the workpiece.
  • the edge of the shroud which is directed towards the work piece is preferably designed to form a seal with the work piece.
  • a barrier which seals the opening in the front face of the shroud to avoid the intrusion of ambient air into the shroud.
  • the barrier prevents water vapour entering the shroud and water droplets from staining the work piece.
  • the barrier prevents condensation or icing from occurring inside the closed space, on the nozzles or on the workpiece because the ambient atmosphere is excluded and the inner space of the shroud only contains cold dry gas.
  • the barrier comprises one or more physical covers which can be arranged to cover the opening in the front face of the shroud.
  • the covers are movably connected to the shroud,
  • the covers can be rotated, slided and/or pivoted or swung relative to the shroud in order to close the opening in the front face.
  • covers are cover sheets, doors or door-like means, sliding doors, shields, lids, louvres or partition elements, such as partition walls.
  • the shroud has a cylindrical shape with a sectoral aperture or opening which is directed to the work piece.
  • One or more, especially two, covers are rotatably connected to the shroud and are able to move in an essentially circular motion.
  • the circular motion of the covers is preferably around the axis of the cylindrical shroud.
  • the covers can be moved into the shroud in order to uncover the opening in the front face of the shroud.
  • the covers can for example slide or rotate into the shroud.
  • the shroud could be provided with a guide rail, guide groove, guide bar or guide plate along which the cover is allowed to move.
  • the position and/or motion of the cover(s) is preferably linked to the relative position of the delivery nozzle and the shroud with respect to the work piece.
  • the cover or the covers are moved into the shroud and the opening in the shroud is uncovered by the cover(s) but sealed by the work piece.
  • the cover(s) cover more and more of the opening in the front face of the shroud.
  • the covers could be linked to the retraction mechanism by guide grooves or other means so that as the shroud and the delivery nozzle are retracted, the retractive motion will cause the cover(s) to close. It is also possible to move the cover(s) by other means such as a motor or hydraulics. By such motion of the covers the opening in the front face of the shroud is always covered: in the working configuration the opening is covered by the work piece. When the shroud is far removed from the work piece the opening is closed by the cover and at a distance inbetween the opening is partly covered by the cover and partly by the work piece.
  • the cover can preferably be moved into the shroud in the working configuration. Therefore, it is preferred that the shroud comprises a space or pocket for the cover(s) where they fit in. It is further possible to continuously heat and/or purge the space or pocket with an inert gas or another dry gas.
  • the inert gas for example gaseous nitrogen, has preferably ambient temperature.
  • the covers are kept at a sufficient high temperature such that when they leave the shroud in order to close or seal the opening, the outside of the cover(s) is at a sufficient high temperature to prevent condensation or icing on their outer surfaces.
  • the temperature of the cover(s) is kept at or above the dew point of the surrounding ambient atmosphere.
  • an inert gas curtain prevents ambient air from entering the shroud in addition to the physical barrier or cover(s). Gas is blown parallel to the plane of the opening and/or in a direction from inside the shroud to the outside of the shroud forming a gas flow out of the shroud. Thereby, ambient air is pushed away from the opening and the ingress of humid air into the shroud is prevented.
  • the pressure of the gas blown into the vicinity of the gap between the shroud and the work piece is preferably controlled to be above the atmospheric pressure of the surrounding ambient air and above the pressure inside the essentially closed space. This ensures that air is not sucked into the essentially closed space and that no cold gaseous coolant leaves the essentially closed space through said gap.
  • the flow of gas forming the gas curtain preferably consists of dry gas.
  • dry gas shall mean a gas which contains essentially no water vapour or such a low level of water vapour that no condensation or ice is formed when this gas comes into contact with the cryogenic fluid or with equipment such as the edge of the interior part of the shielding which has been cooled by the cryogenic fluid.
  • the dry gas will prevent formation of ice on the shielding means, especially on the edge of the opening.
  • the content of H 2 O in the dry gas is less than 10 ppm or less than 10 vpm (parts per million by volume).
  • gaseous nitrogen is used as dry gas.
  • the gas outlet or gas outlets for supplying the dry gas to the opening of the shroud and to the gap between the shroud and the work piece are preferably in fluid communication with a source of gaseous nitrogen. It is possible to use other dry gases, in particular inert gases, as dry gas but gaseous nitrogen is preferred.
  • the invention is in particular used for cooling in a metal rolling process of rolling a metal strip.
  • the essentially closed space is defined by the shroud and the part of the outside surface of the work roll which shall be cooled.
  • the work roll is the work piece which is sprayed with the cryogenic fluid.
  • the opening of the shroud is closed by the work roll thereby forming an essentially closed space inside.
  • the essentially closed space does preferably not include the whole of the workpiece, in this case not the whole of the work roll.
  • the invention prevents condensation outside the essentially closed space and thus no water, ice or snow is formed which could fall onto the metal strip and damage it.
  • the opening in the front face of the shroud is covered by the barrier.
  • the barrier could be a physical barrier such as one or more doors or other covers.
  • the shroud might comprise a sealing member arranged to sealingly close the gap between the shroud and the work piece.
  • the cover(s) are also provided with a sealing member in order to seal the gap between the cover(s) and the work piece and/or between the covers themselves and/or between the cover(s) and the shroud.
  • the sealing member can comprise an elastic material, for example a plastic material.
  • the sealing member could also be realised by a pressure barrier or a gas flow which prevents any gas below the dew point from escaping from the essentially closed space into the area local to the work piece.
  • the outside of the shroud shall be kept at a temperature above the dew point of the surrounding ambient air, preferably above the temperature of the surrounding ambient air.
  • the means to keep the temperature of the outside of the shroud and/or of the cover(s) in the desired range may include passive elements, such as thermal insulation, which reduce the rate of heat transfer between the inside of the closed space and the outside walls of the shroud and/or of the cover(s).
  • passive elements such as thermal insulation, which reduce the rate of heat transfer between the inside of the closed space and the outside walls of the shroud and/or of the cover(s).
  • These means preferably comprise material with a low heat transfer coefficient, for example one or more layers of a solid material with a low thermal conductivity.
  • the means for keeping the outside of said shroud and/or of the cover(s) at a temperature above the dew point may also include active elements which keep the wall temperature above the dew point by heat supply, for example by provision of heating means, in particular electric heating means.
  • the shroud and/or the cover(s) are at least partly double-walled and a source of a gas is connected to the gap between said walls.
  • the shroud and/or the cover(s) comprise an inner and an outer wall and a gas is introduced into the gap between these walls in order to act as an insulator and to provide a source of heat to keep the outer wall above the dew point.
  • a gas is used which is at ambient temperature or even above ambient temperature or which has been warmed up to a temperature above ambient temperature.
  • the gap between the walls of the shroud and/or between the walls of the cover(s) comprises a gas outlet at or close to the gap between the shroud and/or the cover(s) and the work piece. At least part of the gas which is introduced into the gap between the walls of the shroud and/or of the cover(s) flows out of the gas outlet near the work piece.
  • the gas acts as a gas seal or pressure barrier and prevents atmospheric air from entering through this gap into the essentially dosed space and cold gas from escaping from the closed space into the vicinity of the workpiece. Therefore, any condensation is kept away from the essentially closed space and the cold inner parts of the system.
  • a separate gas feed line for feeding a gas, preferably a warm gas, close to the gap between the shroud and/or the cover(s) and the work piece which then acts as a shroud or gas barrier to prevent cold gas getting out and ambient air getting into the essentially closed space.
  • a gas preferably a warm gas
  • FIG. 1 schematically shows a known apparatus for spraying liquid nitrogen onto a work roll
  • FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of the invention
  • FIG. 3 schematically shows a cross section of another embodiment in the working configuration which is very similar to the embodiment of FIG. 2 .
  • FIG. 4 schematically shows a cross section of the embodiment of FIG. 3 in the maintenance configuration.
  • FIG. 1 schematically shows an apparatus for spraying liquid nitrogen onto a work roll 1 which is used for cold rolling a metal strip or metal foil, for example an aluminium foil.
  • Liquid nitrogen 2 is supplied via a supply fire 3 to a plurality of delivery nozzles 4 .
  • the liquid nitrogen leaves the delivery nozzles 4 in the form of nitrogen jets 5 directed to the surface of the roll 1 .
  • the liquid nitrogen evaporates and forms gaseous nitrogen.
  • the delivery nozzles 4 are surrounded by an enclosure 6 which serves as a shroud.
  • the enclosure or shroud 6 has in its front face an opening towards the work roll 1 .
  • the shroud 6 is at least partly designed with double walls 7 .
  • Gaseous nitrogen 8 with room temperature is provided to the gap between the two walls 7 of the shroud 6 .
  • the nitrogen gas 8 flows between the two walls 7 and thereby thermally insulates the shroud 6 .
  • the outer surface of the shroud 6 remains warm although liquid nitrogen is evaporated inside the essentially closed space confined by the shroud 6 and the work roll 1 .
  • the warm gas does not only insulate the outer wall but also provides heat.
  • the dry gaseous nitrogen leaves the annular gap between the double walls 7 close to the edge of the opening of the shroud 6 , i.e. in operation close to the work roll 1 .
  • the shroud walls or a part of the shroud walls comprise an outer layer of stainless steel coated on its inner surface and a second layer of a porous insulation material, such as an aerogel, which is bonded to an innermost layer made of polystyrene or another thermoplastic polymer.
  • the warm nitrogen gas 9 leaving the gap acts as a gas barrier and blocks the small gap between the shroud 6 and the roll 1 and thus prevents air from entering into the interior of the shroud 6 and cold gas from escaping.
  • the pressure of the gas flow 9 is above the atmospheric pressure and above the pressure inside the essentially closed space confined by the shroud 6 .
  • the shroud 6 further comprises a duct 11 which allows to withdraw gas from the essentially closed space confined by the shroud 6 .
  • the gas flow through duct 11 is controlled in such a way that surplus nitrogen gas is extracted from the shroud 6 and from the surface of the roll 1 . That gas would otherwise create a turbulence which may affect the efficiency of the liquid nitrogen spraying. Furthermore, potentially asphyxiating inert nitrogen gas is removed from the work environment.
  • the gas flow through duct 11 should not suck in air from the surroundings into the enclosure 6 via the gap between the enclosure 6 and the roll 1 . That means the gas flow through duct 11 is preferably controlled to achieve an optimum of the above described effects.
  • the gas flow through duct 11 is preferably controlled depending on the design of the enclosure 6 , the pressure and flow of the liquid nitrogen 2 , 5 and/or the pressure and flow of the dry gas 8 passed through the double-walls 7 .
  • the back of the enclosure 6 —behind or upstream the nozzles 4 —and the supply line 3 are insulated to ensure that those parts as well as the double walled part 7 are above the dew point. It is further preferred to also insulate the exhaust duct 11 , at least within the critical region where any condensation on the exhaust duct 11 could get onto the strip 10 .
  • FIG. 1 shows the apparatus in the operation configuration, that means roll 1 , nozzles 4 and shroud 6 are arranged in such a way that nitrogen can be sprayed onto the roll surface without getting any water or condensation onto the roll 1 and into the shroud 6 .
  • the shroud 6 forms together with the roll 1 an essentially closed space.
  • the shroud 6 still contains cold and moisture in the atmospheric air entering the shroud 6 or contacting the delivering nozzles 4 would condense.
  • FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of the invention to avoid condensation of atmospheric air inside the shroud 6 when the shroud 6 and the roll 1 are moved apart from each other.
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 show a cross section of another inventive embodiment which is very similar to the embodiment of FIG. 2 . In the following FIGS. 2 to 4 will be explained together and same reference numbers will be used for the same features.
  • the shroud 6 has the shape of a cylinder with a recess 20 for the roll 1 in its front face. In the working configuration, as shown in FIG. 2 , the roll 1 fits into the recess 20 . Thereby, the work roll 1 covers and seals the opening of the shroud 6 so that the inner space of the shroud 6 is closed to the surrounding atmosphere. Ambient air and in particular moisture cannot enter the shroud 6 .
  • the shroud 6 comprises a fixed outer part 21 of cylindrical shape with the recess 20 for the roll 1 and two movable inner shields 22 a, 22 b of sectoral shape.
  • the two inner shields 22 a, 22 b are rotatable with respect to the symmetry axis 23 of the cylindrical shroud 6 .
  • the shields 22 a, 22 b can either be moved or rotated to a closed position wherein the shields 22 a, 22 b cover the recess 20 and close the shroud 6 ( FIGS. 2 and 4 ). Or the shields 22 a, 22 b can be moved to an open position wherein the shields 22 a, 22 b are moved into the shroud 6 such that the recess 20 is open ( FIG. 3 ).
  • the side walls 43 of the fixed outer part 21 are profiled to match the curvature of the work roll 1 so that they seal against the work roll 1 , i.e. the fixed part 21 is sealed against the work roll 1 all the way around the opening, at the top, at the bottom and at the sides.
  • both shields 22 a, 22 b are provided with contact rolls 38 .
  • the contact rolls 38 are in contact with the work roll 1 and ensure that the same gap is maintained between the shields 22 a, 22 b and the work roll 1 .
  • the movable shields 22 a, 22 b allow the shroud 6 to fit many different sizes of work rolls 1 by varying the degree of opening the recess 20 in the shroud 6 . As long as the contact rolls 38 are in contact with the roll 1 there is always the same gap between the shroud 6 or the shields 21 , 22 and the roll 1 .
  • both sectoral shields 22 a, 22 b are moved backwards into the shroud 6 so that the recess 20 can be covered by the roll 1 .
  • the adjusting mechanism guarantees that the inner space of the shroud 6 is always sealed to the surrounding atmosphere:
  • the opening in the shroud 6 is covered by the work roll 1 .
  • the opening in the shroud 6 is closed by the sectoral shaped shields 22 a, 22 b.
  • the shields 22 a , 22 b are closed depending on the distance between shroud 6 and roll 1 .
  • the adjusting mechanism can be realised by rolls, sensors and controllers in combination with means to move the shields 22 a, 22 b.
  • Such means to move the shields 22 a, 22 b can, for example, be a motor, hydraulics, an elastic element or a spring element.
  • the fixed outer part 21 is double-walled forming an outer pocket 26 .
  • the outer pocket 26 is purged with a gas, preferably a warm gas and/or an inert gas, which is supplied via feed port 28 .
  • the outer pocket 26 insulates the shroud 6 and keeps the outer surface of the shroud 6 warm such that no condensation of humid air will occur.
  • the purge gas 31 flows through the outer pocket 26 and exits the outer pocket 26 at the edge 27 . In the working configuration the purge gas 31 seals the joint between the outer part 21 and the work roll 1 .
  • a portion 30 of the purge gas will leave the outer pocket to the ambient atmosphere outside the shroud 6 , another portion 29 of the purge gas will leave the outer pocket 26 and enter the interior of the shroud 6 .
  • the purge gas flowing through the outer pocket 26 has a double function: First, it insulates the shroud 6 and keeps the outer wall of the outer part 21 warm to avoid condensation on the outer part 21 . Second, in the working configuration the purge gas leaving the outer pocket 26 at the edge 27 works as a gas seal between the shroud 6 and the work roll 1 .
  • the rotatable inner shields 22 a, 22 b are also double-walled. Between the double walls a passage 32 is formed. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 the passage 32 is preferably closed by a bar 33 at its inner end which is moved into the outer part 21 . The outer wall of the passage 22 comprises an opening 34 close to the bar 33 . The fixed outer part 21 has an aperture 35 with a gas port 36 .
  • a purge gas 37 is supplied to gas port 36 and flows through aperture 35 and opening 34 into the passage 32 .
  • the purge gas 37 continues to flow through the passage 32 and leaves it at the end where the two shields 22 a, 22 b abut.
  • the purge gas 37 keeps the outer surface of the shields 22 a, 22 b warm and works as a gas seal between the two shields 22 a, 22 b.
  • the double wall structure of the shields 22 a, 22 b can also be used to gas seal the gap between the shroud 6 and the work roll 1 .
  • Purge gas 37 supplied via gas port 36 flows through aperture 35 into the gap between the outer part 21 and the shield 22 a, 22 b and then through opening 34 into passage 32 .
  • the purge gas 37 leaves the passage 32 close to the contact area between the outer part 21 and the work roll 1 and forms an additional gas seal.
  • the shields 22 a, 22 b are also double-walled forming a passage for a purge gas between the walls of the double-wall structure.
  • the gas port 39 for the purge gas is directly connected to the shields 22 a, 22 b.
  • the shroud is essentially formed as a right circular cylinder.
  • the shroud might also comprise additional feed ports 40 , 41 , 42 for feeding purge gas to the side walls 43 of the fixed outer part 21 and to the gaps between the side walls 44 of the shields and the side walls 43 fixed outer part 21 .
  • the term “side wall of the fixed outer part” shall mean the base area(s) of the right circular cylinder forming the shroud 6 .
