Abstract:
A drier installation (1) for drying web (2), more particularly paper, which installation is provided for drying a maximum web width, the installation (1) comprises gas-heated radiant elements (3) for radiating the web, arranged according to at least one row (4) stretching out in the transversal (5) direction over the substantially entire maximum web width. The installation (1) comprises at least a transversal convective system (7, 36) equipped with suction and blowing devices (8) for sucking at least part of the combustion products produced by the radiant elements (3) by means of a suction duct (13) and for blowing this pa o the combustion products towards the web (2) by means of a blowing duct (14). Both suction (13) and blowing (14) ducts stretch out in the transversal (5) direction of the web (2). The convective system (7, 36 comprising at least a mixing device (12, 22, 28, 37, 46) installed opposite of the passing web (2) in relation to corresponding suction (13) and blowing (14) ducts and arranged so as to suck and/or blow the combustion products. The drier installation as subject of the present invention is characterized in that the vector average of the projections (V1, V2, V3, V5, V6, V7, V8) in a plane (P1) perpendicular to the web ( ) and stretching out in the transversal (5) direction of the web (2), has component (V4) parallel to the web (2) that is smaller than the maximum web width of the web (2), the vectors representing the respective trajectories of the different jets of sucked and/or blown combustion products.

Abstract:
To adapt a gas infra-red radiator (radiant burner) particularly well to operational requirements, a controlled amount of feed gaz is temporarily reduced to decrease the energy output so that the energy output lies below about 40% or less of the maximum energy output of the infra-red radiator. At least during operations carried out at this level, a flame separate from the controlled amount of feed gas is maintained in the combustion chamber of the gas infra-red radiator. For this particular purpose, at least a nozzle (22) directed into the combustion chamber (4) maintains a permanent flame.
Abstract:
A convective hood for transverse installation in a system for continuous heat treatment of moving strip material comprises blowing nozzles for blowing hot gas against the moving strip in an arrangement transverse to the direction of movement of the strip material; and a first transverse suction zone for the suction of hot gas. The first transverse suction zone comprises a first transverse section and a second transverse section. The first transverse section and the second transverse section are provided at the same side downstream or upstream of the movement of the strip material from the blowing nozzles when the convective hood is installed in a system for continuous heat treatment of moving strip material. The second transverse section is provided along the line for movement of the continuous strip material between the first transverse section and the blowing nozzles. The first transverse section comprises suction openings for suction of hot gas directly from outside the convective hood into the convective hood; the suction openings being in closed gas flow connection to a first manifold for recirculation of at least part of this hot gas to the blowing nozzles for blowing the hot gas onto the continuous strip material. The second transverse section comprises suction openings for suction of hot gas directly from outside the convective hood into the convective hood; the suction openings being in closed gas flow connection to a second manifold for exhausting 100% of this hot gas outside of the convective hood.
Abstract:
A floater dryer for drying a web-shaped (W), moving material, in particular a paper or cardboard web. The dryer comprises a plurality of radiations/air blowing units (10) which are provided on one side of the web (W) or on both sides (10A, 10B). Said units (10) have been shaped to be blow boxes having on their side facing the web (W) a contact-free carrier surface (21R, 27) and into conjunction with which is blown, through a nozzle aperture (20a, 20b) opening on the leading and/or trailing edge of said carrier surface, an air jet (Ful), or air jets (Fua, Fub). The jets will have a substantially large component parallel to said carrier surface. In conjunction with the radiation/air blowing units (10) are provided radiation elements (30) from which into the treatment interval (P1, P2, P-) is directed radiation (SO) through a window (27). The window at the same time serves as carrier surface for the air support of the web (W). The air flows (F3, F4) from the blow box are also conducted to serve as cooling air for the radiation elements (30) and for components in conjunction therewith. On the side opposite to the carrier surface (27, 21R) of the radiation/air blowing units (10) may be provided a mirror arrangement (32, 33) which returns radiation that has passed through the web (W), back to the web (W).
