Definitions

  • the present invention relates to apparatus for cooling and/or remoistening of a moving web.
  • a moving web of material such as paper, film or other sheet material
  • a conventional arrangement for contactlessly supporting and drying a moving web includes upper and lower sets of air bars extending along a substantially horizontal stretch of the web. Heated air issuing from the air bars floatingly supports the web and expedites web drying.
  • the air bar array is typically inside a dryer housing which can be maintained at a slightly sub-atmospheric pressure by an exhaust blower that draws off the volatiles emanating from the web as a result of the drying of the ink thereon, for example.
  • U.S. Patent No. 5,333,395 discloses a drying apparatus for traveling webs which includes a cooling tunnel directly connected with the dryer, a combustion chamber for combusting solvent which becomes volatile during drying of the web, heat exchangers, etc.
  • U.S. Patent No. 5,038,495 discloses a cooling device for cooling a web of material exiting a dryer.
  • the cooling device comprises a substantially closed housing with an inlet and an outlet slit for the web of material .
  • the housing includes a feed aperture at the outlet slit side for feeding outside air into the housing, and a discharge aperture at the inlet slit side for discharging air from the housing into the dryer.
  • U.S. Patent Nos. 4,702,015, 4,689,895 and 4,763,424 disclose apparatus and a method for providing a shower of fog onto a web or machine component in contact with the web. The fog evaporates on the hotter surface and cools that surface.
  • U.S. Patent No. 5,881,647 discloses the use of electrostatic fields to direct a water spray towards a web.
  • Smoke tunnels are conveniently used in web dryers to address the generation of smoke during processing.
  • Smoke tunnels are typically located between the flotation dryer and the chill stand. More efficient handling of the web as it exits the dryer would be desirable.
  • the present invention provides apparatus and a method for enhancing the effectiveness of a water spray to cool and/or remoisten a web of material. More specifically, the preferred embodiment of the apparatus in accordance with the present invention includes a web dryer, preferably a flotation dryer, an electrostatic charge generating device or devices, a water spray, an integrated power supply to supply high voltage power to the charge device, and a drainage system for handling excess liquid generated during the cooling and/or remoistening of the web.
  • the cooling apparatus is capable of a modular arrangement to optimize spacing and facilitate the addition of cooling capacity where needed, such as with faster web speeds or heavier web weights.
  • One or more temperature sensors can be used to optimize the amount of and rate of fluid fed to the spray nozzles.
  • the spray nozzles and charge bars can be retractable with respect to the web to facilitate web up procedures .
  • the present invention is directed towards a method for drying and cooling a web, typically a moving web, by heating the web such as with a plurality of air flotation nozzles, and enhancing the effectiveness of a water spray by directing the water spray onto the web, by controlling the amount of water sprayed onto the web based upon the web temperature, by removing excess liquid generated during the cooling and/or remoistening process, and by removing steam generated by the cooling process.
  • the present invention thus reduces or eliminates dryer smoking from the dryer exit end without the use of a conventional smoke tunnel, reduces or eliminates solvent condensation problems on the chill rolls, reduces chilled water use at the chill stand, has less sensitivity to dryer/printing press process variations, and has lower dryer operating temperature and associated web exit temperature. It is also believed that with paper webs, the paper gloss is improved and the handling in the folder is improved due to slightly higher residual solvent in the paper web.

  • a web slot seal 15 can be used to minimize the transfer of gases (air) between the housing 10 and outside the housing 10.
  • the housing 10 is thermally insulated, and also includes an electrical insulator 17 between the metal cladding of the dryer end frame and the housing 10 to prevent an unwanted ground path for charge bars 31.
  • the web 12 enters the housing 10 after having exited a web flotation dryer ( Figure 4) attached to the housing 10, passes through the housing 10, and exits the housing 10 and continues to cooling apparatus (not shown) , for example, such as a chill stand.
  • the housing 10 is dimensioned such that it can replace an existing smoke tunnel and thus be retrofitted into an existing dryer upon removal of the smoke tunnel which is rendered obsolete by the present invention. Housing having lengths of from 20 to 40 inches are generally suitable for this purpose.
  • the cooling device is also capable of modular design, allowing two or more modules to be aligned in series as shown in Figure 3. This optimizes spacing of the charge bars and spray nozzles to minimize cost and maximize spray effectiveness. As faster web speeds and heavier web weights are encountered, additional modules can be added.
  • the cross-web dimensions of the device will vary with web width. Top and bottom access to the internal components in the housing 10 is provided.
  • the design of the web flotation dryer can be conventional, and preferably includes a plurality of upper and lower Coanda air bars to floatingly dry the running web 12, thereby raising its temperature.
  • a power supply 20 integrated into the housing 10 is a power supply 20.
  • a power supply 20 By integrating the power supply to the housing 10, significant advantages are realized compared to a device having a remote power supply. Since high voltage (30-50 kV) is required to operate the apparatus, ease of connecting high voltage to the charge bars and of supplying residual heat to the enclosure via a fan 22 to prevent any solvent condensation from occurring is achieved. This is in contrast to expensive high voltage connectors or custom fit wiring on-site where the power supply is remotely located.
  • At least one row of spray nozzles 30 are provided, which receive water (or other suitable cooling fluid, such silicone and/or other surfactants or fluids which contain silicone or other surfactants) from a source, such as a reservoir (not shown), and spray the fluid towards the web 12.
  • a water softener device may be used for the water supply to prevent scale buildup from plugging the nozzles.
  • the spray nozzles 30 are an axial flow hollow cone type with 0.15 mm orifice diameters, and are spaced 2 inches between nozzle centers. The amount an rate of fluid sprayed from the spray nozzles 30 can be controlled to achieve a desired cooling rate.
  • a web temperature sensor 24, preferably located at or near the exit end of the housing, allows the web cooling to be monitored and maintained at a desired (e.g., predetermined) setpoint by adjusting pump pressure and flow of fluid to the spray nozzles 30. More specifically, a web temperature setpoint is selected and the fluid spray pressure is increased until the temperature is reached or the pump output is at a maximum.
  • a controller can be used to increase the pump speed which is controlled by a variable speed drive.
  • a closed loop pump output control system using the temperature sensor can be provided to optimize web cooling.
  • a second web temperature sensor 25 spaced from the sensor 24 also can be used; the preferred arrangement locating one sensor at the web inlet and the second at the web outlet.
  • a differential setpoint between inlet and outlet temperatures for example, can be used.
  • a suitable differential setpoint between inlet and outlet temperatures is 40 to 50°, for example .
  • a second row of spray nozzles 30A can be provided to increase the cooling capacity of the apparatus where necessary or desirable.
  • Suitable valving may be used to allow the fluid flow to one or more individual nozzles 30, 30A to be interrupted, especially where a 3/4 or 1/2 width web is run rather than a full web width, as less fluid will be wasted if the unneeded nozzles are shut down, and the overhead charge devices will be protected from the direct fluid spray (excessive water spray on the charge devices can cause them to short out) .
  • Water spray also may be applied on both sides of the web, such as to reduce smoking from the web by quickly ending the solvent evaporation process. This feature is shown in Figure 7, which is similar to Figures 1 and 3 except with the provision for water spray nozzles 30 on the top of the web as well as the bottom.
  • a plurality of electrostatic charge generators or bars 31 are provided in the housing 10 above one side of the web 12, which generate an electric charge or electrostatic field within the housing 10.
  • a plurality of field director or ground bars 32 are provided in the housing 10 on the opposite side of the web 12 to direct the fluid droplets exiting the spray nozzles 30 toward the web 12.
  • Preferably ground bar 32 is located opposite a charge bar 31.
  • the combination of the electrostatic charge generators 31 and field directors 32 limits the flow path of the droplets exiting the spray nozzles, ensuring that most or all of the droplets impinge upon the web 12.
  • the electrostatic charge on the web 12 created by the bars 31 attracts the spray and causes the droplets to break down into extremely small particles.
  • Figure 8 shows a spray nozzle manifold 100 having a plurality of nozzles 30 and provisions for retraction.
  • the nozzles 30 are preferably linearly aligned along each manifold 100 in the direction across the width of the web.
  • the opposite ends of the manifold 100 each include an actuation arm 101 and a pivot point 102.
  • Similar manifolds can be used for each linear array of ground bars 32 which are also located below the web line in the cooling assembly. Multiple nozzles and bars are tied together at the pivot points 102 with a common bar 104.
  • each device is tied together with a second common bar 105.
  • An actuating device such as a pneumatic cylinder 106 can be used to automatically retract the devices together.
  • one end of the cylinder 106 is coupled to the common bar 104, and the opposite end is coupled to the common bar 105.
  • each manifold can be actuated independently.
  • the nozzles and bars are shown in the retracted position in Figure 9, in which they are retracted 90° from their operable position, and in the unretracted position in Figure 10.
  • any excess fluid is removed through a drain 35, and also by small amount of exhaust air (e.g., 100 scfm/ft of web width) .
  • the exhaust air also removes the steam generated by the evaporation of the water mist (typically web temperatures encountered as the web exits the dryer heating section are froma about 260°F to about 320°F, which is hot enough to cause the mist to become steam) . Without adequate exhaust, the unit will pressurize and send mist out the web slot.
  • the mist may contain solvent vapor which can condense on surfaces such as chill rolls and contaminate them.
  • the fluid supply line can include a valve which can be opened in the event of a web break, or in order to prevent spray from spraying on a stationary web (a wet web can easily break when web tension is reapplied) .
  • the exhaust air may be supplied by a fan 22 or by the normal flow of air through the web slot into a negatively pressurized enclosure.
  • An optional heater 29 ( Figure 3) can be used to raise the temperature of the atmosphere within the housing 10.
  • a preferred method of exhausting air is to pressurize the top half of the enclosure with the fan 22. This removes excessive moisture from the area surrounding the charge devices which may be harmful to them. The air can then travel into the attached dryer, or be exhausted by independent means.
  • One embodiment of exhausting air in the present invention is illustrated in Figure 12, which is particularly applicable for dryers with low negative pressure at the web slot.
  • a pair of opposite seal bars 200 are positioned at the web slot to produce air jets. The air jets entrain surrounding air and cause the air to flwo into the dryer through the web slot . The shape of the bars encourages the jet to adhere to the bar surface and not disturb the web.
  • An optional suction box 205 which is ducted to the supply or exhaust fan inlet can be used to produce a greater pressure differential at the web slot.
  • Figure 2 shows a section view of the apparatus.
  • An edge seal 28 is provided to establish the proper electrostatic charge on the web 12.

  • excess water exiting drains 35 of each module is directed into a dryer 100 by a suitable driving means such as a pump 110 and associated piping.
  • Figure 5 shows mounting details of the optional evaporating device on the fan inlet, which is the preferred arrangement for this feature. However, the evaporating device also can be mounted on the fan outlet.

  • FIG. 6 shows another embodiment of the present invention where the management of infiltration air is carried out.
  • the housing 10 is shown attached to dryer 100, with a traveling web 12 entering the housing 10 from the dryer 100 exit through a web slot 13 the size of which may be adjustable.
