Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of drying material webs in an air dryer according to the preamble of claim 1 and to an air dryer for drying a material web according to the preamble of claim 9.
- blow boxes are commonly used whose nozzle-carrier face consists of a plane plate, into which blow holes have been punched. Such nozzles are placed either at one side or at both sides of the airborne web to be dried.
- the nozzle-carrier-face commonly includes a number of rows of holes, one row after the other in the running direction of the web. The blow air flows in the space between the web and the nozzle-carrier-face, and the blow air is collected away through suction slots placed between the nozzle boxes.
- lateral flow is understood as meaning air flows parallel to the plane of the carrier face and of the web, which flows are additionally parallel to or opposite to the running direction of the web. Since the air must escape from the treatment gap, a lateral flow cannot be avoided. Said lateral flow deteriorates the transfer of heat in the prior-art blow-nozzle boxes, and the disturbing effect is increased with an increase in the velocity of the exhaust-air flow.
- the loss of pressure produced by the blow box is increased when the velocity increases in the lateral flow.
- it is preferable to make use of the lateral flow by shaping the blow face and the geometry of its nozzle openings such that, on the carrier face of the blow box, a zone of negative pressure is formed, which stabilizes the run of the web and by whose means a stable and unstrained run of the web is ensured.
- WO-A-88/08950 a generic method of air-drying material webs is disclosed, in which method air jets substantially parallel to the plane of the web are applied to the web to be dried from underneath the web, by means of which air jets heat is transferred to the web, the web is supported by air free of contact and the run of the web is stabilized, wherein the air jets are applied from a nozzle-carrier face facing the web in opposite directions from the middle portion of the nozzle carrier face.
- the nozzle carrier face comprises in the middle thereof a substantially V-section groove transverse to the running direction of the web, which groove is opened towards the web and in whose opposite walls there are series of nozzle holes, and in which nozzle-carrier face, at both sides of the groove, there are provided plane portions placed in the same plane parallel to the plane of the web and curved guide faces joining the walls of the groove to the plane portions, so that, by Coanda effect, the air jets applied from the series of nozzle holes towards the opposite wall of the groove are turned over a certain angle to make them substantially parallel to the plane portions and parallel to the plane of the web.
- the nozzle-carrier face of the nozzle-blow-box has a plurality of nozzles provided in the middle portion of the nozzle-carrier face and the slanted lateral portions thereof.
- the nozzles may be formed in such a manner in order to provide air jets in an oblique direction to the web; by means of this arrangement, a guiding effect is to be achieved.
- the aim of the present invention is further development of the prior-art nozzle-blow-boxes disclosed in said patents while avoiding the drawbacks which are present in them and which will be described in more detail later.
- the present invention is above all related to the nozzle-blow-boxes employed in pulp dryers, in which the web runs above the nozzle and carrier faces of the boxes.
- the function of the air blowings is both to transfer heat from the blown air to the web and to support the web free of contact.
- it is preferable to blow part of the air parallel to the plane of the nozzle in which case the web is stabilized at a distance of 3...6 mm from the carrier face.
- the velocity of the exhaust air in the space between the web and the nozzle becomes high. This results in deterioration of the transfer of heat and in extra pressure losses.
- the detrimental effect of the high velocity of the exhaust air can be reduced by making the nozzles sufficiently narrow, but then the number of the nozzles becomes so high that the cost of manufacture of the dryer is increased substantially.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a novel method and a novel nozzle-blow-box construction by whose means it is possible to avoid the drawbacks discussed above and to improve the transfer of heat from the drying air to the airborne web to be dried. Said improvement of the transfer of heat can be utilized most efficiently in the form of smaller size of the dryer. In this way, the cost of construction, e.g., of a pulp dryer and the cost of the machine hall can be lowered decisively.
- An aim of the present invention is to reduce the effect of deteriorating of the transfer of heat by the lateral flow while the run of the web is stabilized by means of said flow.
- the air flow velocity parallel to the plane of the web to be dried and air-supported in connection with the nozzle-carrier face is initially kept substantially invariable, whereupon the air flow velocity is lowered in the lateral areas of said carrier face by employing lateral areas of the nozzle-carrier face that become rampwise and/or stepwise lower in the air-flow direction.
- extensions of said nozzle-carrier-face portions are constituted by stepwise and/or ramp-shaped carrier-face portions placed further apart from the material web to be supported, in the area of which carrier-face portions the velocities of said support and stabilization air flows, as compared with the velocity prevailing in connection with the plane nozzle-carrier-face portions, are lowered, and that the nozzle-carrier face is provided with nozzle perforations, through which additional blowings substantially perpendicular to the plane of the material web to be supported can be applied from the nozzle-blow-box.
- the effect of deteriorating of the transfer of heat by the lateral flow has been minimized by lowering the lateral portions of the nozzle to a level lower than the plane middle portion, whereby the velocity of the lateral flow is lowered.
- the lateral flows are preferably directed so that they do not directly collide against the air jets of the direct blowing on the plane face or on the lowered lateral portions.
- the lowering of the lateral areas of the nozzle-carrier-face portions in accordance with the invention is based on the idea that a high flow velocity of the exhaust air between the web and the nozzle-carrier face deteriorates the coefficient of heat transfer.
- the velocity of the exhaust air is increased in both directions from the centre line of the nozzles towards the edges when more air is introduced.
- the flow velocity in this area is lowered.
- the nozzle-blow-box in accordance with the invention is a combination of a nozzle with positive/negative pressure, in which the magnitude of the lateral flow that produces the negative pressure is chosen appropriately in relation to the amount of air in the direct blowing.
- the coefficient of heat transfer is not essentially dependent on the distance, provided that the exhaust air does not disturb the air jets blown out of the nozzle holes to a significant extent.
- the air discharged out of the nozzles must pass towards the edges in the space between the nozzle and the web, and the higher this flow velocity is, the more does it disturb the air jets blown out of the holes and the more does it deteriorate the coefficient of heat transfer.
- air jets are directed, crosswise in relation to one another, at continuous rounding points between the plane carrier face placed at each side of the walls of said V-section groove.
- the air jets are tangential to the rounding points, they turn and become parallel to the plane portions of the carrier face by the Coanda effect.
- a zone of negative pressure is formed, which stabilizes the web at a certain distance from the carrier face, as a rule, of an order of 3...6 mm.
- attempts are made to avoid direct collisions between the jets of direct blowing and the air jets that flow in the lateral direction.
- the lateral areas of the nozzle-carrier face of the nozzle-blow-box have been lowered so that the velocity of the lateral flow is lowered as the cross-sectional flow area becomes larger, whereby the heat-transfer effect of the blow jets coming from the holes of direct blowing placed in the lowered inclined and/or straight nozzle-carrier-face portion is improved.
- the nozzle-blow-box in accordance with the invention is suitable for use for drying of the web both in one-sized/two-sided drying, in the case of low-grammage webs ( ⁇ 200 g/sq.m), and both underneath and above the web.
- the nozzle-blow-boxes in accordance with the invention are best suitable for lower nozzles together with direct-blow boxes that operate as upper nozzles, or alone as lower nozzle boxes in one-sided drying.
- a further advantage that is achieved by means of the geometry of the blow-carrier faces of the nozzle-blow-boxes in accordance with the invention is a smooth blow face with no sharp edges, as the air of the lateral flow is introduced out of the central V-section groove while guided by rounded faces.
- the transfer of heat to the web can be improved by about 5...10 %, this improvement can be taken to useful use immediately in the form of reduced size of the dryer, which lowers the cost of investment of the dryer and of the machine hall substantially, and which also, indirectly, reduces the number of production interruptions and improves the operating time ratio of the dryer.
- the advantages mentioned above are particularly important in the case of large and complicated pulp dryers.
- a V-section groove in the middle of its carrier face, through which groove the blowings parallel to the carrier face are applied crosswise, in addition to a favourable blow/heat-transfer technique, a rigid mechanical construction is obtained, in which the V-section groove rigidifies the nozzle-carrier-face efficiently without any other rigidifying structures, which would be necessary otherwise.

- the inclined walls of the V-section groove 32 which walls are preferably plane, turn and join the horizontal plane portion 34 of the carrier face at an angle b by the intermediate of rounded portions 31b with a curve radius R.
- Both of the inclined plane faces of the V-section groove 32 have rows of blow holes 33. These blow holes 33 are placed and directed so that the air jets B 3 coming from them are tangential to the rounded portions 31b between the plane faces, said rounded portions turning the air jets B 3 , by the Coanda effect, onto the plane portions 34 of the carrier face 31 and making the jets parallel to said plane portions.
