8. The cannon tube cooling system with nebulized water according to claim 5, characterized in that the extension tubes are equipped with nebulizing nozzles at the end thereof.

9. The cannon tube cooling system with nebulized water according to claim 5, characterized in that it has an outer jacket parallel to the cannon along its full length, with a coupling area for a delivery flange and holes in the jacket itself for the evacuation of liquid water or the generated vapor.

10.

Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0020] FIG. 1 shows the general arrangement of the system, with all its components adapted to the canon tube.

[0021] FIGS. 2a and 2b show a detail of how the delivery flanges and tubes are mounted, in the preferred embodiment, on the outside of the canon tube.

DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED FORM OF EMBODIMENT

[0022] On the outside of the canon tube (1) is placed a jacket (2) that keeps the nebulized water in contact with the external surface of the canon tube.

[0023] At one end of the canon tube, or barrel, and between the tube and the jacket, there is a delivery flange (4) which acts as a pressurized water injection.

[0024] The water pressure is obtained by any available means (by means of an air compressor, by means of an electric pump, etc.)

[0025] FIGS. 2a and 2b show the delivery flange (4) and from it a series of tubes (3), equipped with nebulizing nozzles (5).

[0026] These tubes are of different lengths so that, mist of droplets of liquid water are deposited along the entire canon tube outer surface.

[0027] The jacket has holes so that the water vapor generated also goes into the atmosphere.

[0028] The distributor flange has a quick connector to admit the pressurized water that comes from a tank that in its upper part has a pressurized air chamber, generated by a service compressor. The flange (4) is fixed to the lower part of the canon tube (1) and also serves as a support for the outer jacket. The flange has a series of holes in which are mounted alternately, metal tubes (3), which end and/or start all in nebulizer nozzles (5). The length of these is adapted to achieve a better distribution of the nebulized water along the canon tube.

[0029] There is an intermediate flange (6) to immobilize the tubes inside the outer jacket. The jacket has holes in the lower part for the evacuation of excess liquid water, and in the upper part for the evacuation of the generated water vapor.

[0030] A thermocouple measures the temperature of the tube in the area where more heat is generated. When the thermocouple marks 100 degrees Celsius, it acts on a solenoid valve that puts the pressurized water tank in communication with the distributor flange.
