Research

Heat tre­at­ment in con­ti­nuous strip pro­ces­sing lines with focus on coo­ling in nozz­le fields. Expe­ri­men­tal quan­ti­fi­ca­ti­on of flow behaviour.

Fields of activity

  • Water coo­ling in con­ti­nuous strip pro­ces­sing lines
  • Expe­ri­men­tal inves­ti­ga­ti­ons of water flow on sta­tio­na­ry and moving strips
  • Expe­ri­men­tal cha­rac­te­riza­ti­on of spray nozzles
  • Inves­ti­ga­ti­ons on ener­gy effi­ci­en­cy at the tun­nel kiln in the brick industry
  • Nume­ri­cal flow simulations
