Definitions

  • the invention relates to a drying chamber, e.g. B. predrying shaft or hot-flue construction, for the heat treatment of a vertically guided, a certain width having web with arranged on both sides of the web, in the direction of the web outlet openings having air guide boxes, which is assigned a radial fan for circulating the dry air.
  • a drying chamber e.g. B. predrying shaft or hot-flue construction
  • a device of this type is known from DE-A-23 20 479.
  • nozzle boxes are arranged transversely on both sides - subsequently offset from one another - which have their blow-in openings on the side end of the shaft.
  • a radial fan assigned to each nozzle box group is used to circulate the treatment air, the axis of rotation of which is oriented perpendicular to the web.
  • the treatment air is recirculated via channels arranged parallel to the nozzle boxes, so that there is a specific air circuit for each fan.
  • the motors for driving the fans are always arranged on the side on which the nozzle boxes are provided for the other side of the web. In this way, the drying shaft is narrow, although the drying shaft is very wide due to the alignment of the fans with their axis perpendicular to the web.
  • Drying shafts are generally only for pre-drying a z. B. with a dyeing product is required so that the web at the beginning of the drying process no longer comes into contact with any management organs.
  • a drying shaft is so z. B. above a foulard, from the last deflecting or squeezing roller, the web runs directly up into the drying shaft.
  • the task of such a predrying shaft is to achieve rapid heating and evaporation of the liquid. Pure nozzle ventilation is not sufficient for this.
  • the invention has for its object to find a drying shaft for pre-drying a web, in which, in addition to the radiant heaters, a recirculation system is also provided, which ensures the rapid removal of the heated moist air without fluttering the web.
  • the outer construction of the drying shaft should not be much deeper than is necessary to accommodate the infrared heating elements and an air supply. This means that several such drying shafts can be placed directly next to one another and do not hinder motors, fan boxes or the like.
  • a construction is to be found in which, in addition to a favorable energy balance, the smallest possible outer surface of the drying chute and nevertheless a rapid heating up of the material web and a rapid removal of the vaporized liquid is made possible.
  • the infrared heating elements are also arranged in the drying shaft here across the width of the web on both sides of the web. Because of this construction, the device is only a little deeper than is necessary for heating the web by means of the infrared heating elements. The greater depth is achieved solely by the air supply boxes required on both sides. The return of the treatment air accelerated by the fan takes place on the end faces of the drying shaft to the side of the width of the web so that the depth of the The drying shaft only has to be as wide as the diameter of the fan, of course taking into account the air volume that the air duct box has to accommodate on the respective web side.
  • the vertically installed drying shaft has an all-round insulated housing 1 which has the inlet slot 2 on the underside and the outlet slot 3 vertically above it.
  • the web 4 comes from a paddle arranged below the drying shaft, but not shown, and is above the shaft along the guide roller 5 to the next treatment unit, such as. B. another drying shaft.
  • the web 4 is dried on both sides with radiation energy and partly also with a convection system.
  • Infrared heating rods 6, which are arranged at a distance from one another, are responsible for the radiation energy, between which and the web 4 there is sufficient space to be able to move shielding depressions 7 in front of the infrared heating rods 6.
  • the shielding troughs 7 are arranged in a gap with the infrared heating elements 6 arranged one above the other, while they are pushed in front of the heating elements 6 when the web 4 is stationary and thus the web 4 is protected from the burning rays.
  • a dry air system serves to remove the moist air generated by the radiation energy along the surface of the web 4.
  • the heated to prevent cooling of the web 4 dry air passes through parallel to the web 4 slots 8, which are inclined upwards in the direction of the goods transport, between the infrared heating rods 6 and then between the respective shielding troughs 7 and then obliquely on the web 4.
  • By aligning the slots 8 upward in the transport direction of the web an upward air flow is generated on the web, which ensures the rapid evacuation of the resulting vapor layer.
  • an air extraction space 9 with a fresh air supply pipe 30 is provided on the right and left of the web 4, which is separated from the treatment area of the drying shaft by a screen cover 10.
  • the essential circulating air is extracted through this air outflow space 9, since the goods outlet slot 3 is narrowly delimited by metal sheets.
  • the air suction space 9 extends along the entire width of the drying shaft and has a radial fan 11, 12 on its end faces outside the width of the web, which generates a negative pressure in the air suction space 9.
  • the air suction chamber 9 is arranged according to FIG. 3 on both sides of the web 4 and extends conically widening from the center of the drying shaft to the fan suction chamber 13, into which the two air suction rooms 9 open from both sides of the web 4.
  • the fan suction space 13 is already arranged outside the treatment width of the drying shaft in the air return area 14 provided on the front side of the drying shaft.
  • This air return area 14 consists of two air return channels 15, 16, which emerge from FIG. 3 when viewed from above.
  • the air return channels 15, 16 are arranged on the inside of the outer housing 1 and leave between them a free space 17, which is provided for free access to the actual drying area in the drying shaft and is closed from the outside by a door 18.
  • the fan suction chamber 13 and the fan 11, 12 with the fan chamber 11 ', 12' and the air repulsion tube 31, 32 are arranged above the air return area 14, the fan suction chamber 13 and the fan 11, 12 with the fan chamber 11 ', 12' and the air repulsion tube 31, 32 are arranged.
  • the respective fan 11, 12 blows the air from above into the air return ducts 15, 16 via a sieve plate 19, which can also be seen in FIG.
  • the dry air then passes laterally into the air storage space 20, 21, which is delimited at the top by a sieve-shaped baffle 22, 23.
  • the heating unit 24, 25 is arranged above the baffle plate 22, 23 and, like the air storage space 20, 21, extends over the entire width of the drying area of the drying shaft extends.
  • the heating device 24, 25 is followed on each side of the web 4 by the respective air guide box 26, 27, which guides the heated treatment air to the slots 8.
  • the air duct 26, 27 is wide in the area of the heating device 24, 25 and narrow in the area of the air return spaces 9, ie it extends conically upwards.
  • the two air return areas 14 on both sides of the drying shaft are half bounded by a hinged door 28, 29 in the free flow cross section.
  • This door is closed when the device is operating, i.e. it is aligned vertically. If the web 4 is at a standstill, it is expedient to supply cooling air to the infrared heating elements 6 instead of heated circulating air. This is brought about by the doors 28, 29 swinging open and the treatment air accelerated by the fan 11, 12, bypassing the heating device 24, 25 flows immediately into the air guide box 26, 27 and thus to the infrared heating elements 6 via the slots 8. At the same time, the shielding troughs 7 will move in front of the infrared heating elements 6, so that burning of the material web is prevented with certainty.
  • the treatment air circulated by the fans 11, 12 not only flows from the storage spaces 20, 21 through the heating device 24, 25 into the treatment area, but also through slots 8 ′ arranged below the heating device 24, 25 onto the Web 4.
  • This treatment air has not yet flowed through the heating device again, but it still has enough heat to advantageously influence the drying process or the removal of the moist air.
