Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a method for cooling a metallic strand in a strand guide of a strand casting machine, and to a switching valve for intermittently permitting and shutting off a volume flow of a cooling medium. The problem addressed by the invention is that of specifying a method for cooling a metallic strand in a strand guide, and a switching valve for intermittently permitting and shutting off a volume flow of a cooling medium, by means of which the cooling intensity can be adjusted over a broad range in a simple, robust and energy-efficient manner. Said problem is solved by means of the following method steps: - actively controlling a switchable switching valve (1) by means of a binary control signal (5), wherein the control is imparted as a function of a desired cooling power; - actuating a switching element (16) of the switching valve as a function of the control signal (5), wherein the switching element (16) is moved from a closed position into an open position or vice versa as a function of the
