ABSTRACT:
Ambient water and steam in a predetermined ratio are delivered into the entrance of a venturi chamber in a fluid accelerator. The steam condenses and in so doing elevates the water temperature significantly. The heated water passes through a venturi throat and then has its pressure elevated considerably above the pressure of the incoming steam prior to discharging from the accelerator into valved piping leading to cleaning spray headers on opposite sides of the moving metal strip. High pressure, high temperature water cleaning sprays are directed through header nozzles onto the strip to thoroughly clean its entire surfaces. Venturi vacuum is utilized whenever desired to draw a cleaning additive into the system where such additive is entrained in the water stream. Simplicity and economy are achieved in a highly efficient cleaning system.
