METHOD OF HEAT TRANSFER AND ASSOCIATED DEVICE

Abstract:

A method of heat transfer wherein a flat metal product having a broad face and a temperature upper to 400.degree. C. is put in contact with a fluidized bed of solid particles, the solid particles having a direction of circulation (D), wherein the flat metal product is put in contact with the solid particles so that its broad face is parallel to the direction (D) of circulation of the solid particles and wherein a gas is injected so that the solid particles be in a bubbling regime, the solid particles capturing the heat released by the metal product and transferring the captured heat to a transfer medium. An associated device is also provided.
