  • the present invention relates to apparatus for the removal of air, or other gases, contained in liquids. More specifically, it' relates to the removal of air and other gases from viscose in a continuous manner.
  • Air is present in viscose in two forms, that is, as occluded air which appears as bubbles and dissolved air. If a body of viscose is subjected to a vacuum, the bubbles present becomes larger becauseof the decreased pressure and tendto rise more rapidly tothe surface. The dissolved air forms bubbles and gradually comes out of solution at the surface of the viscose. These actions, of course, become faster the thinner the If a film of viscose is passed continuously over a vertical surface, the same actions take place, but at any reasonable filmvelocity, under low vacuum, i.
