Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A rail cooling device configured to forcibly cool a rail by jetting a coolant includes a porous plate nozzle including a plurality of nozzle holes configured to jet the coolant to an underside of the base of the rail to cool the underside of the base of the rail. Ends in a width direction of the porous plate nozzle correspond to ends of the underside of the base of the rail. Nozzle holes of the porous plate nozzle at the ends of the width direction are smaller than nozzle holes of the porous plate nozzle at a central part in the width direction, and a maximum value of a distance between centers of the nozzle holes at both ends in the width direction is 30% or more of a width of the underside of the base.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A rail cooling device configured to forcibly cool a rail by jetting a coolant, the rail cooling device comprising: a porous plate nozzle including a plurality of nozzle holes configured to jet the coolant to an underside of a base of the rail to cool the underside of the base of the rail, wherein ends in a width direction of the porous plate nozzle correspond to ends of the underside of the base of the rail, nozzle holes of the porous plate nozzle at the ends of the width direction are smaller than nozzle holes of the porous plate nozzle at a central part in the width direction configured to cause a cooling capacity of the porous plate nozzle at the ends in the width direction, to be lower than a cooling capacity of the porous plate nozzle for the central part in the width direction, and a maximum value of a distance between centers of the nozzle holes at both ends in the width direction is 30% or more of a width of the underside of the base. 2. The rail cooling device according to claim 1 , wherein the nozzle holes have a circular shape, and a diameter of the nozzle holes at the ends is 20% to 90% of a diameter of the nozzle holes at the central part. 3. The rail cooling device according to claim 1 , wherein an arrangement of the nozzle holes is a staggered arrangement.
