Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2019197182A1] The invention relates to a cooling apparatus (100) for cooling a metal material and to methods for operating and producing the cooling apparatus. The cooling apparatus has at least one cooling beam (110) having a plurality of coolant application elements (112) for applying a coolant to the metal material, wherein each coolant application element (112) has an outlet opening having a cross-sectional area (112') for the outlet of the coolant. In order to be able to adapt such known cooling apparatuses more precisely to different temperature distributions over the width of the metal material to be cooled, according to the invention the density of the cross-sectional areas (112') of the outlet openings of the coolant application elements (112) in the width direction y of the cooling beam (110) is adapted and dimensioned in accordance with the magnitude of the slope of the distribution of the temperature T(y) of the metal material over the width of the latter before running in under the cooling beam (110).
