Abstract From the Canadian patent

A method and a system for cooling a steel strip are disclosed. A high water volume mist cooler and a low water volume mist cooler are disposed along a direction in which the steel strip travels. The high water volume mist cooler sprays high water volume mists onto the surfaces of the steel strip to cool the steel strip, and then the low water volume mist cooler sprays low water volume mists onto the surfaces of the steel strip to cool the steel strip thereby, cooling the steel strip while suppressing the influence of transition boiling, to prevent the steel strip from having a temperature-nonuniform portion.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed December 4, 1998 and granted November 19, 2002. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended December 4, 2018.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by December 4, 2020.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
