Definitions

  • a ventilating apparatus for the dryer section of a paper machine including rotatable air ducts on each side of the dryer section, which air ducts are provided with openings to discharge adjustable jets of ventilation air in order to control cross-flow tendencies inside a casing for the dryer section and thereby to prevent uneven drying profile of the paper web being dried.
  • the present invention relates to the apparatus for the ventilation of a paper machine, comprising a casing for the dryer section of the paper machine, which casing includes roof, side walls and end walls, means for the supply of ventilation air to the casing and means for the removal of ventilation air from the casing.
  • the ventilation air is supplied through the basement-floor below the dryer section or immediately below the usual lower drying felts, and removed through a gap or openings along the longitudinal central line of the roof.
  • a cylinder dryer section is never symmetric with respect to the central portion of the paper web, because on one side thereof there are arranged the transmissions for the operation of the drying cylinders and the steam fittings for the heating of the cylinders.
  • Said fittings comprise a great number of hot pipes, which produce thermal forces tending to press up great amounts of air on this side. Under these conditions an air flow across the machine easily can develop.
  • the vertical flow areas on both sides of the machine can have difierent size
  • a more specific object of the invention is to provide means for the supply of ventilation air comprising members located on each side of the dryer section between same and the side walls and distributed along the length of the dryer section, which members can eject directed jets of ventilation air, which by their impulse flow counteract undesirable air flows.
  • FIG. 1 is a cross section through the dryer section in a paper machine provided with a ventilation apparatus according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a side view of the air-supplying members as seen from the line 2-2 of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 is a side elevation view of the dryer section as seen from the left of FIG. 1 with a side wall removed and with parts shown in section.
  • the drying section comprises a machine stand 1 and a number of drying cylinders 2, about which the paper web is directed in a zigzag path.
  • the machine stand is supported on so-called supporting strands 3 of concrete.
  • a light-weight frame 4 is mounted carrying the upper portion of the casing.
  • the right-hand portion of the machine stand 1 includes the transmission for the operation of the drying cylinders.
  • To the right of the transmission the steam and condenser tubes 5 for the heating of the drying cylinders are located.
  • the casing comprises a roof 6, a side wall 7 on the machine operators side, a side wall 8 on the driving side of the machine and two end walls (not shown).
  • a number of liftable doors 9 and a number of slidable doors 10 are provided in the side wall 7 on the operators side, and a number of slidable doors 11 are provided in the side wall 8 on the driving side.
  • the casing For removing by ventilation the water vapour, which evaporates from the drying paper web, the casing is supplied with heated ventilation air through a passage 12, which extends along the central line of the machine in the basement floor below the dryer section.
  • the upper wall of the passage, along the length of the dryer section, is provided with a number of slots 13 for distributing the ventilation air supplied through the passage.
  • the overpressure in the passage is small, but the area of the outflow slots is large so that relatively great amounts of air are supplied at a low speed.
  • the roof is provided in its centre with a gap 14 to an overlying collecting passage 15, which is connected to exihaust fans 16.
  • the means for the supply of drying air also comprise circular impulse air ducts 17, 18 located along the side walls 7, 8 between same and the machine stand 1.
  • the ducts 17, 18 are divided into sections, which are rotatable in relation to each other for rendering possible the directing of a slot 19, 20 provided in every section.
  • the impulse air ducts are connected by ducts 2 1, 22 to the pressure side of fans 23, by which hot air is sucked from a heat recovering unit 24.
  • the flow condition desired to be obtained is characterized by the freedom from horizontal cross flows through the dryer section past the paper web.
  • Cross flows can be caused a.o. by the thermally caused air flow about the steam fittings 5 or by disturbances from leakage flows.
  • the flow can be counteracted and neutralized by placing the outflow openings 19, 20 of the impulse air ducts 17, 18 in the positions shown in the figure.
  • the air jets from the right-hand duct 18 thereby bring about an air motion, which neutralizes the tendency for overpressure on the right-hand side of the dryer section, which gave rise to the cross flow.
  • the area of the openings 19, 20 in the impulse air drums can be made adjustable.
  • a ventilating apparatus for the dryer section of a paper machine comprising a casing for said dryer section, including roof, side walls and end walls; means for supplying ventilation air to the casing; and means for exhausting ventilation air from the casing, said air-supplying means including fan means and horizontally extending air ducts loacted on each side of the dryer section between same and the side walls and having a plurality of duct sections along the length of the dryer section, said air duct sections being connected to the pressure side of said fan means, and being provided with openings to discharge jets of ventilation air, said duct sections being rotatable in relation to each other to adjust said jets.
