It is provided that to convey the air, the air stream is blown through the humidification zone, tempered water for adiabatic conditioning and cooled water can be sprayed in, and to influence the conditioning parameters, a control and/or regulation of the arrival of tempered and/or cooled water is carried out.

Abstract: An air handling and filtering system is provided for with conventional textile machines. The apparatus includes a common vacuum system for drawing first and second independent airstreams through the textile machines. A filtering system operates with the vacuum system to filter the useful white waste fiber material from all of the first airstreams. Individual filtering devices are provided for each textile machine and are housed in end-housing units disposed as one end of the textile machine. The individual filtering devices filter generally waste fiber material from the second airstreams drawn through the textile machines. The individual filtering devices can be isolated from the common vacuum system so that the individual waste fiber filters can be cleaned without stopping or otherwise affecting the critical first airstream so as not to detrimentally affect yarn formation at the spinning stations of the textile machines.

Abstract: A filter arrangement includes at least one drum-type filter. A suction device is provided for suctioning of the inside of the drum-type filter along a helical line. The suction device includes at least one suction hose and a suction nozzle provided at the free end of the suction hose. The suction nozzle is constructed for contacting the inner side of the drum-type filter. The suction hose is attached to an end portion of a rotatable suction pipe. The end portion is constructed so as to be movable back and forth in longitudinal direction of the drum-type filter, so that movement in longitudinal direction and rotary movement of the end portion of the suction pipe results in a suctioning-off of the cylindrical inner side of the drum-type filter along a helical line.

Abstract: An apparatus for filtering air containing textile impurities, comprises an air-permeable, fixed collecting device preferably of accordion shape, for separating the textile impurities.

Abstract: An air filtering system for large installations such as spinning machine rooms, textile factories, etc., has a rotating drum with permeable walls through which air is aspirated to the interior of the drum while the accumulated contaminants are removed during the rotation of the drum by a reciprocating vacuum cleaner. In order to protect the bearings of the drum and the drive mechanism from contact with uncleaned air, the drum is carried by rollers which contact only the interior surface of the drum. The drive motor and transmission are also placed inside the drum.

Abstract: A heat exchanger of the regenerative type comprising a rotor constructed of corrugated strip layers providing transverse channels extending therethrough. The device is arranged to have separate gas streams directed through different parts of the rotor so that on rotation of the rotor the storage mass effects the exchange of sensible heat between the streams.

Abstract: An apparatus which serves to clean air containing fine dust and also larger particles, such as fibrous material, thread ends, etc., which are produced in an industrial environment, especially a textile plant. In order to conduct a two-stage cleaning process without the necessity of dimensioning two filtering stages for the full air flow, there is provided a vortex chamber into which the unclean air is admitted tangentially or in some manner which produces a rotary flow with centrifugal force components which act on the larger particles in the air stream. The vortex chamber includes a rotating filter drum, the interior of which may preferably be provided with suction, causing air to flow from the vortex chamber through the filter, depositing thereon the fine dust carried by the incoming air.

Abstract: The air used in the various operations of a general textile machine is cleaned prior to being returned to the factory space containing the machine by two sequential mechanisms, the first of which is a fiber separator which removes from the air relatively large contaminants such as fibers, pieces of thread, etc., and which transports these remnants to an outlet trap via a rotating conveyor screw. The second mechanism is a dust separator including at least one dust filter bag through which air is forced to pass inwardly, thereby trapping airborne dust on the surfaces of the filter. The accumulated dust on the filter is removed by periodic application of compressed air to the interior of the dust filter bag.

Abstract: A filtering apparatus for the filtering of fibers and equivalent material from flowing air, and in particular for use in textile operations, has been invented in which the fiber material is firmly compacted so that as much fiber material as possible may be accommodated in a given volume of a collecting container attached to the filtering apparatus. For this purpose the filtering apparatus has a hollow fiber filtering assembly into which the flowing air is guided, a conveyor screw and a motor to drive the conveyor screw toward an outlet of the filtering assembly. The filtering assembly also includes at least one filter, with the outlet located downstream in the direction of movement of the fiber material, and at least one braking component located near the outlet which serves to brake the motion of the fiber material induced by the conveyor screw and to compact the fiber material firmly.

Abstract: An air cleaning apparatus for purifying the air in machine rooms, etc., has a filter box and a primary air conveyor therein. When dust and impurities have accumulated on the upstream side of the filter, the normal clean air outlet is closed and the clean air stream is re-directed back onto the filter, thereby tending to dislodge the mat of impurities adhering to the other side. At the same time, a second air conveyor is activated to aspirate air at least partly from the interior of the filter box, thereby carrying along the dislodged mat of impurities for disposal downstream of the second air conveyor.

Abstract: A double twisting machine is equipped with air flow control devices which create preferred conditions in the vicinity of each twisting station and, particularly, in the immediate vicinity of the twisting mechanism and the thread balloons. Pre-conditioned air, adjusted for temperature and humidity, is delivered through a nozzle located above each twisting spindle and is directed generally to the location of the thread guide loop. The protective container for the bobbin has a lower opening which permits the air flowing into the container from the top to emerge below where an exhaust conduit carries it away. A coaxial shroud surrounds the protective container and forms an annular air passage through which conditioned air may flow in both directions.

Abstract: A method for open-end spinning according to which discrete fibers are fed into the interior of a rotor located in a spinning chamber and deposited in a fiber groove of the rotor. The fibers are thereafter drawn out of the spinning chamber as twisted fibers formed into a thread. The air which flows into the interior of the rotor is evacuated from the spinning chamber by suction.The apparatus of the invention is arranged so that the spinning chamber has at least one air outlet opening through which air flowing into the interior of the rotor leaves the spinning chamber. The outlet is located in the cover portion of a housing and is connected to an air suction device by at least one air channel.
