Hyundai Steel Opts for Fives Cooling System Solution
02/20/2024 - Hyundai Steel has contracted Fives to retrofit a continuous annealing and galvanizing line with a new cooling system, enabling it to produce third-generation, advanced high-strength steels.
Fives said it will equip the line with its Dry FlashCooling technology, a rapid cooling system that runs on 75% hydrogen.
“Our technical team worked in close cooperation with Hyundai Steel and conducted numerous feasibility studies to customize the solution. The design of the DryFlashCooling® system allows limited hydrogen consumption thanks to a special recovery system. In addition, electricity consumption is also reduced by almost six times when achieving highest cooling rate performances,” said Camille Moukarzel, business development and sales manager at Fives Stein, a Fives subsidiary specializing in thermal and cooling technologies.
