摘要: 
The invention relates to a method of cooling a metal strip traveling through a cooling section in a continuous heat treatment line, consisting in projecting a refrigerant medium into the cooling section (4) onto the surface of the strip (1) to be cooled, the medium being capable of cooling the strip (1) without oxidizing said strip. In accordance with the invention, the refrigerator medium is constituted for the most part by a phase-change substance that passes into the gaseous phase at a temperature that is both lower than the temperature of the strip (1) for cooling and close to the temperature of the outside ambient medium, so that energy is exchanged within an endothermic process by a change in the phase of said phase-change substance, and so that said refrigerant medium can then be recondensed at a pressure close to atmospheric pressure.
