The aim of the paper was to improve the economy of rolling mill production and to extend the control range of cooling capacity of the accelerated cooling unit by choosing the optimal dimensions of the cooling chamber. The object of research was the interstand cooling unite for accelerated cooling of the hot-rolled products of round section in the line of continuous rolling mill in order to reduce the machine time rolling or even eliminate completely the requirement for heat treatment of the hot-rolled products in heat-treatment furnaces. The influence of the design parameters of the cooling chamber on the expanding the control range, retaining a high cooling capacity of the chamber, was investigated by the numerical model based on the finite difference method. The diagrams presented in the paper allow determining the diameters of the cooling chamber, which provide a wide control range of the chamber cooling capacity and minimization of energy consumption of the electric water pump.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
