Description
~ethod and apparatus for the levelling ~f th~ humidity profile o~ a ~ontinuous web by dielectric drying The present invention relates tG a method for tne improve-ment of the moisture profile of a continuous web by means of dielectric drying in accordance witn the preamble of claim 1.
The invention also involves an apparatus for the implementa-tion of the method.
The product quality of several continuous web processing machines including, for instance, paper and textile web drying sections, is impaired by the uneven final moisture proflle of the web.
The problem is most recognized and quantitatlvely most important in the paper industry. Users require a product with an even final moisture content in order to ensure non-problematic runnability in printing, as well as to achieve a high dimensional stability of the web for accurate alignment of colours.
The unevenness of the web moisture is caused by different defective functions at the wet end either before the drying section or in the dryer itself. The web defects may be generated by incorrect crowning of the press rolls, unevenness of the pressing felts or their cleaning, or by temperature differentials of the web. Persistent or random defects on the final humidity profile of the web on the dryer are caused by the edge effect related to the low humidity of the drying atmosphere and higher heat transfer factors at the edge of the web as well as by the surface of the drying cylinder extending over the web edge the nonsymmetrical air circulations, uneven action of the drying felts together with, for instance, ~b ~2B97~
the defects of condensate removal from the cylinders and asymmetrical flows of the condensate.
In order to compensate for these defects, several different auxiliary apparatuses have been developed. Their operation is based on the principle of intentionally providing a functional defect w'nich compensates for a defect of t'ne machine, often originating from an unrecognized cause.
Rather typical examples of these means are different kinds of air blowing units, in which the atmospheres in the drying pockets are sectionally adjusted in a compensatory manner. The effect of one air blowing unit is minimal and, consequently, several units are needed for each macnine; generally, as many as possible within the space limitations.
When high-velocity hoods are used, relatively few will suffice because the method of blowing air via nozzles on the paper achieves high characteristic evaporation rates and differential rates. Due to their clumsiness and high powe- consumption, these solutions are not very popular.
In contrast, infrared radiant heaters heated by gas or electricit~ with a sectionally controlled effect are very effective and popular.
In some cases, a high-frequency electromagnetic field has been used for profile improvement by locating bar electrodes cross-directionally to the web over a sufficiently large area. The dielectric constant and loss factor that determine the power absorbed as heat by the web are higher at the wetter parts of the web. Consequently, a dielectric dryer drives moisture more effectively out from the wetter parts of the web than from the dry parts when the unit is located at the dry end of the 74~
drying section. However, the disadvantage of crosswise located bar electrodes is the increased power consumption of the dryer due to the unnecessary simultaneous drying of the dry streaks. This leads to -the fact that the dryer cannot produce an even final moisture but only reduces the highest absolute and relative humidity differentials. In orde~ to achieve any effective differential drying at all, this kind of moisture profile correcting dryer must be located at the relatively dry section of the web with a correspondingly low dielectric constant and loss factor. Naturally, this is disadvantageous with consideration to the size of the drying section.
Compared to the other methods described above, however, this solution provides the advantage of disposing of any control means in the crosswise direction of the web.
The present invention relates to a method for reducing differentials of moisture profile on a web, especially a paper web, by means of high-frequency electromagnetic energy.
The invention is characterized by the use of bar electrodes, energized by a high-frequency electro-magnetic power source and aligned approximately in the machine direction, for drying the web.
In accordance with a particular embodiment of the invention, there is provided a method for reducing moisture differentials in a moving web containing wet streaks extending in the processing direction of the 1~397~
- 3a -web, by the application of high-frequency electro-magnetic energy fed to bar-formed electrodes ~,Jhich are located close to the surface of the web, wherein:
the longitudinal axes of the electrodes are aligned approximately parallel to the processing direction of the web; and the electrodes can be moved transverse to the ~rocessing direction of the web and rotated at an angle relative to the processing direction of the web so as to be positioned only over each wet streak of the web in order to provide a uniform moisture profile in the web.
From a different aspect, and in accordance with the invention, there is provided an apparatus for reducing moisture differentials in a moving web containing wet streaks therein which comprises:
means for conveying the web of material;
bar-formed electrodes operatively associated with the surface of the moving web for applying high-frequency electromagnetic energy thereto, wherein the longitudinal axes of the electrodes are aligned substantially parallel to the processing direction of the moving web;
means for moving the electrodes transverse to the processing direction of the web; and means for rotating the electrodes at an angle relative to the processing direction of the web, whereby the electrodes can be selectively positioned over each of the wet streaks in the web in order to provide a substantially uniform moisture profile in the web.
In the following, the invention will be examined in more detail by means of exemplifying embodiments described in the attached figures. For the sake of presentation A
7~X
simplicity and clarity, the figures omit all equipment unessential to the invention, such as components associated with the generation and feed of the electromagnetic energy;
equipment necessary for environmental protection from radiated energy, possible automatic control devices, actuators and their details required for movement, ventila-tion equipment necessary for humidity removal and advancement of drying, and the like.
Figure 1 shows an apparatus in accordance with the invention in a side elevation view aligned with a plane of a processed web 1.
Figure 2 shows the same apparatus viewed from the direction of arrow B in Figure l.
Figure 3 shows a preferred location for the apparatus, especially in a high-speed paper web drying section.
The processing of a wet streak in the machine direction of the web requires a drying unit consisting of at least two electrodes ~, which are located parallel to the processed web 1, and approximately aligned in the mashine direction of the web (arrow A). Figures 1 and 2 show the mounting of the electrodes in a carriage 4, which can move along a beam 3 by automatic, remote-controlled or manually controlled means with the help of the apparatus not described in the figures, onto a selected wet streak of the web. These kind of units can be located lengthwise to the béam 3, that is, in the cross direction of the web in a number corresponding to the number of the wet streaks.
When a mounting base 7 of the electrodes is mounted pivotable with an actuator 6 around a pin, an angle L
can be provided between the direction of the electrodes and the machine direction of the web. In addition, 39~X
the mounting base 7 can be complemented with required fixtures and possible actuators that are not shown in the figures, and with w'nich a mutual distance a of the electrodes can be adjusted automatically, by remote-control or manually in accordance with the correction requirements of the web moisture. Thus by varying the oxientation of the electrodes, a local energy densitv P/A imposed on the weh can be ~rovided in the direction of the crosswise coordinate x of the web yielding an energy distribution that conforms as accurately as possible with the moisture distribution of the wet streak to he corrected. The lower part of Figure 2 shows the variabLe P/A as a functlon of coordinate x for the electrode orientation shown in Figure 2.
rhe invention offers appreciable benefits.
The power consumption required is decreased and the e~uipment necessary for generating the high-frequency energy may be smaller. This is produced by the disposal of unnecessary drying which avoids consuming power for processing intermediate areas between the wet streaXs, which also reduces power consumption at the wet streaks because less evaporation is required for correcting the moisture profile.
In principle, an evenly distributed moisture content can be achieved. This is not possible with crosswise electrodes extending over the entire weh, whose selective drying effect for drying a wet part of the web faster than a dryer part of the web is based on the differentials of the electrical characteristics of the dried substance at different moisture levels. For this reason, although the crosswise electrodes are capable of reducing the moisture differential, they are not capable of fully levelling them off.

In addition to achieving a reduced number of electrodes by disposing of the electrodes at the dry parts of the web, reduction in electrode numbers also achie~ed '~
advantageously locating the moisture profile correction units over the wet streaks at the wet end of the machine where the dielectric constant of the web is most suitable for the method.
The described moisture profile correction units are located in a paper machine for drying the we',~ at the web transfer when the web is conveyed from one drying cylinder to anot'ner. The suggested location is especially advantageous in modern high-speed machines t'nat tend to employ as a design of the art the single wire transf~r at the wet end of the machine immediately after the press section. This means that the web is conveyed, supported by the drying wire, from one cylinder to another, a method which reduces the frequency of paper breaks in a high-speed drying section. The disadvantage of the method is that on every other cylinder, generally on the lower cylinders, the drying wire passes between the paper web and the cylinder.
special advantage in paper machines is achieved by locating a moisture profile correction unit 12 in a slngle wire group as shown in Figure 3. ~nen the correction unit 12 is located on the side of a web 9 supported by wire 8, a ventilation equipment 10, e.g. nozzle blowing equipment for drying and profile correction, can be located on the pape. side and adapted to blow immediately against the paper. This provides an especially safe arrangement against breaXs and an effective location for drying. In addition, Figure 3 shows that the cylinder is preferably positioned lower than normal for easier location and higher efficiency of the correction unit, which also lengthens the free passages of web transfer.
The invention also involves an apparatus for the implementa-tion of the method.
