  • Patent number: 11125501
    Abstract: A dryer for a web of textile material having at least one dryer compartment, in which at least one air-permeable cylinder is rotatably disposed, around which the web of material may partially loop so that heated drying air may flow through the web of material. At least one fan is provided by which humid drying air from the inside the at least one cylinder may be suctioned off from a front-sided opening of the at least one cylinder and discharged as discharge air through a duct. The dryer includes at least one sensor for determining the humidity of the discharge air flow, the data thereof being processed in a control with the initial humidity of the web of material and the humidity of the fresh air flow for closed loop control of the evaporative capacity of the dryer.

  • Patent number: 10539369
    Abstract: The invention relates to a heating system (38) for warming a gaseous treatment medium (30, 40) for a device for treating a preferably strip-shaped article (12) by means of a gaseous treatment medium (40), comprising a heating device, a mixing chamber (54) for mixing at least one first, gaseous heating medium (49) heated by means of the gas burner, and the gaseous treatment medium (30) already used for treatment and recycled by the device. Said gaseous heating medium (49) can be introduced into the mixing chamber (54) such that when the gaseous medium (49) is introduced into the mixing chamber (54), vortexes are produced in the mixing chamber (54), which generate an intensive thorough-mixing of the gaseous heating medium (49) with the recycled gaseous treatment medium (30).

  • Patent number: 10234197
    Abstract: A dryer for a textile web includes a drying chamber having at least one air-permeable drum arranged in the drying chamber to rotate, wherein the drum includes an end face constituting an axially arranged suction side, the textile web is wrapable at least partially around the drum and heated drying air is flowable through the textile web. A hot gas source provides heated gas. A ventilator forms a suction draft via the suction side of the drum with drying air from inside of the drum and drying air that recirculates back into the drying chamber. At least one hot gas feeding ring encloses the suction draft and is configured to permit the hot gas from the hot gas source to flow essentially completely into the suction draft.
