COOLING PAD ASSEMBLY FOR A BELT CASTING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240017321 titled 'COOLING PAD ASSEMBLY FOR A BELT CASTING SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a cooling pad for a belt casting system that includes two nozzle arrangements. The first nozzle arrangement consists of an elongated nozzle assembly with a base, a first insert, and a second insert. The first insert and the base together define a first elongated dispensing slot. The second insert is adjustable relative to the first insert and, together with the base, defines a second elongated dispensing slot. The second nozzle arrangement includes multiple multi-position nozzles that can be moved between a base position and an offset position to locally control the heat transfer rate across the cooling cavity.

  • The cooling pad for a belt casting system includes two nozzle arrangements.
  • The first nozzle arrangement has an elongated nozzle assembly with a base, a first insert, and a second insert.
  • The first insert and the base define a first elongated dispensing slot.
  • The second insert is adjustable relative to the first insert and, together with the base, defines a second elongated dispensing slot.
  • The second nozzle arrangement consists of multiple multi-position nozzles that can be moved between a base position and an offset position.
  • The multi-position nozzles allow for local control of the heat transfer rate across the cooling cavity.

Potential Applications:

  • Belt casting systems in industries such as metal casting, plastic manufacturing, or glass production.
  • Cooling pads for continuous casting processes where precise control of heat transfer is required.

Problems Solved:

  • Uneven cooling in belt casting systems can lead to product defects or inconsistent quality.
  • Lack of control over heat transfer rates can result in inefficient cooling processes.

Benefits:

  • Improved product quality and consistency due to precise control of heat transfer rates.
  • Enhanced cooling efficiency, leading to reduced energy consumption and cost savings.
  • Increased productivity and throughput in belt casting systems.


Original Abstract Submitted

a cooling pad for a belt casting system includes a first nozzle arrangement and a second nozzle arrangement. in some embodiments, the first nozzle arrangement includes an elongated nozzle assembly that includes a base defining a receiving area, a first insert positionable within the receiving area, and a second insert positionable within the receiving area. the first insert and the base together define a first elongated dispensing slot. the second insert is adjustable relative to the first insert, and the second insert and the base together define a second elongated dispensing slot. in various embodiments, the second nozzle arrangement includes a plurality of multi-position nozzles, each movable between a base position and an offset position such that the heat transfer rate may be locally controlled across the cooling cavity.
