Abstract

 

Emulsions are frequently used for the cooling and lubrication of working rolls during the cold rolling. the fact that the lubrication and cooling are not separable makes the optimization of both functionalities difficult. the higher emulsion temperature decreases the cooling efficiency compared to cold water. heat transfer and fluid flow laboratory (czech republic), crm (belgium), tata steel (netherlands) and henkel (germany) cooperated on the increasing of a cooling efficiency during cold rolling. part of this research was focused on an influence of the emulsion composition on a cooling intensity. the cooling efficiency was laboratory investigated. the stainless steel sample with thermocouple was heated and then it was cooled by a nozzle. tests were performed with various emulsions and pure water. the heat transfer coefficient was computed from measured temperatures. the cooling intensity (heat transfer coefficient) of all tested emulsions was similar but an increase of the cooling intensity was found with water. further various emulsions concentrations were tested. results showed decreasing cooling intensity with increasing oil concentration. adding additives therefore is thought to cause a noticeable decrease of the cooling intensity.
