DEVICE FOR COOLING A HEATED THREAD

The invention relates to a device for cooling a heated thread. The thread can be guided in the groove base of an elongated cooling groove of a cooling body. The cooling groove is connected to a metering device for supplying a cooling liquid via a metering opening in the groove base. The aim of the invention is to prevent the resulting environmental loads due to steam and residual cooling liquids.According to the invention, this is achieved in that the cooling body is encapsulated in a housing, and the housing has a threading slit for introducing the thread, said threading slit extending on the housing between a thread inlet and a thread outlet. 本发明涉及一种用于冷却变热丝线的装置，其中该丝线可在冷却件的长形冷却槽的槽底面中被引导。冷却槽通过在槽底面中的计量开口连通至用于输入冷却液的计量装置。为了防止由在此出现的蒸汽和残余冷却液带来的环境负担，根据本发明，该冷却件被包封在壳体里，该壳体具有用于供丝线引入的穿引槽，所述穿引槽在壳体上的丝线入口和丝线出口之间延伸。
