Abstract

The invention relates to a steamer (10) having a treatment space which is subdivided into treatment sections with a circulation of the treatment medium and through which the material web is guided in hanging loops during treatment, and relates particularly to a steamer for the steaming of indanthrene prints on 100% viscose. It is intended to prevent an overheating of the saturated steam in zones where exothermal heat occurs. For this, it is proposed, according to the invention, to subdivide the entry section (11) of the steamer into a region (12), in which the formation of the material loops is carried out and in which the introduction of all the saturated fresh steam for treatment takes place, without any controlled circulation of the steam, and into a region (13), in which the material-web loops, hanging on the supporting bars, are already deposited on the transport chain and in which a circulation of the fresh steam takes place and a controlled steam humidification is carried out. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Dämpfer mit in Behandlungssektionen mit Umwälzung des Behandlungsmediums unterteiltem Behandlungsraum, durch den die Warenbahn bei der Behandlung in Hängeschleifen hindurchgeführt wird und bezieht sich insbesondere auf einen Dämpfer für das Dämpfen von Indanthren-Drucken auf 100% Viskose.The invention relates to a damper with treatment room divided into treatment sections with circulation of the treatment medium, through which the material web is guided during the treatment in hanging loops and relates in particular to a damper for damping indanthrene pressures to 100% viscose.

Dämpfer der vorstehend genannten Art werden in der Regel abhängig von dem verwendeten Farbstoff und dem Material der textilen Warenbahn ganz universell für die Anwendung von Sattdampf oder von überhitztem Dampf eingesetzt. Für die Einstellung der für die jeweilige Behandlung optimalen Bedingungen sind sie mit Mitteln zur Dampfführung und Dampfbefeuchtung und auch mit Heizregistern versehen, die in den einzelnen Sektionen des von der Warenbahn durchlaufenen Behandlungsraumes gezielt zum Einsatz kommen. Ausgenommen davon ist die Einlaufsektion, in der die Warenbahn von der Einzugstrommel aufgenommen und auf den Tragstäben der Transportkette abgelegt wird.Dampers of the type mentioned above are generally used for the use of saturated steam or superheated steam, depending on the dye used and the material of the textile web. For the setting of the optimal conditions for the respective treatment, they are provided with means for steam guidance and steam moistening and also with heating registers, which are used specifically in the individual sections of the treatment room traversed by the web. An exception to this is the infeed section, in which the web is picked up by the feed drum and placed on the support bars of the transport chain.

Die Praxis hat nun gezeigt, daß es gerade in dieser Sektion zu Beginn der Dämpfbehandlung bei bestimmten Farbstoffen bzw. Farbstoff-Warenbahnmaterial-Kombinationen zur Bildung von erheblicher exothermer Wärme kommt, die zu einer unerwünschten Überhitzung des Dampfes führt und den Dämpfprozeß mit der Fixierung des Farbstoffes ungünstig beinflußt.Practice has now shown that it is precisely in this section that, at the beginning of the steaming treatment, certain dyes or dye-web material combinations lead to the formation of considerable exothermic heat, which leads to undesired overheating of the steam and the steaming process with the fixation of the dye adversely affected.

Durch die Erfindung soll die Aufgabe gelöst werden, diese Nachteile zu vermeiden und insbesondere in Zonen mit dem Anfall exothermer Wärme eine Überhitzung des Sattdampfes zu verhindern.The object of the invention is to solve these disadvantages and to prevent overheating of the saturated steam especially in zones with the accumulation of exothermic heat.

Erfindungsgemäß wird dazu bei einem Dämpfer der eingangs genannten Art vorgeschlagen, die Einlaufsektion des Dämpfers in einen Bereich, in dem die Bildung der Warenbahnschleifen vorgenommen wird und in den die Einführung des gesamten gesättigten Frischdampfes für die Behandlung ohne gezielte Umwälzung des Dampfes erfolgt und in einen Bereich, in dem die Warenbahnschleifen auf den Tragstäben hängend bereits auf der Transportkette abgelegt sind und in dem eine Umwälzung des Frischdampfes erfolgt, sowie eine gezielte Dampfbefeuchtung vorgenommen wird, zu unterteilen.According to the invention, for a damper of the type mentioned at the outset, it is proposed that the inlet section of the damper be in an area in which the web loops are formed and in which the entire saturated live steam is introduced for treatment without targeted circulation of the steam and in one area , in which the material web loops are already deposited on the supporting rods and are suspended on the transport chain and in which the fresh steam is circulated and the steam is specifically moistened.

Für die Befeuchtung des Dampfes sollen im nachgeschalteten Behandlungsbereich der Einlaufsektion zu beiden Seiten der Warenbahn Nebeldüsen angeordnet sein, durch die eine Dampfsättigung des durch die exotherme Wärme überhitzten Dampfes durch Bildung einer Vielzahl kleinster Kondensattröpfchen erfolgt. Um die Kontaktzeit der Nebeltröpfchen mit dem Dampf zu verlängern und dadurch den Wärmeaustausch zu verbessern, sollen die Nebeldüsen um etwa 45° nach unten oder oben weisend am Dämpfergehäuse angebracht sein. Die Zufuhr von Wasser zu den Nebeldüsen soll zweckmäßig in Abhängigkeit von der Temperatur im Einlauf des Dämpfers in der Nähe der Warenbahn durch Zu- oder Abschalten in einer Kaskade erfolgen.For moistening the steam, mist nozzles should be arranged in the downstream treatment area of the inlet section on both sides of the material web, through which steam saturation of the steam overheated by the exothermic heat takes place by formation of a large number of tiny condensate droplets. In order to extend the contact time of the mist droplets with the steam and thereby improve the heat exchange, the mist nozzles should be attached to the damper housing by pointing 45 ° up or down. The supply of water to the mist nozzles should be appropriate depending on the temperature in the inlet of the damper near the web by supply or Switch off in a cascade.

Nach einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung soll die Zuführung des gesamten für die Dämpfbehandlung erforderlichen gesättigten Frischdampfes in der Einlaufsektion oberhalb der Einzugstrommel und dem Bereich der Schleifenbildung erfolgen. Der Dampf soll dann die Behandlung unter wiederholter Umwälzung im Gleichstrom zur Warenbahn durchströmen. Um den Gleichstrom zu unterstützen, kann am Boden der Auslaufsektion noch eine besondere Absaugung für einen Teil des Abdampfes vorgesehen sein.According to a further feature of the invention, the supply of all the saturated live steam required for the steaming treatment should take place in the inlet section above the feed drum and in the area of the loop formation. The steam should then flow through the treatment with repeated circulation in direct current to the web. In order to support the direct current, a special suction for a part of the exhaust steam can be provided at the bottom of the outlet section.

An Hand der beiliegenden Darstellung eines Dämpfers nach der Erfindung soll diese nachfolgend noch näher erläutert werden.Based on the accompanying illustration of a damper according to the invention, this will be explained in more detail below.

Auf der Zeichnung ist der Dämpfer insgesamt, insbesondere dessen Behandlungsraum mit 10 bezeichnet. Er weist eine Einlaufsektion 11, eine je nach den betrieblichen Erfordernissen mehr oder weniger große Anzahl von normalen Behandlungssektionen 14 und eine Auslaufsektion 15 auf. In die Einlauf- und die Auslaufsektion wird die Warenbahn 20 in bekannter Weise durch einen Wareneinlauf 16 von unten eingeführt bzw. durch einen Warenauslauf 17 nach unten abgeführt, um weitgehendste Luftfreiheit im Behandlungsraum sicher zu stellen.In the drawing, the damper as a whole, in particular its treatment room, is designated by 10. It has an inlet section 11, a more or less large number of normal treatment sections 14 depending on the operational requirements, and an outlet section 15. The web 20 is introduced into the inlet and outlet sections in a known manner through a goods inlet 16 from below or discharged downwards through a goods outlet 17 in order to ensure the greatest possible freedom from air in the treatment room.

Gemäß der Erfindung ist nun die Einlaufsektion 11 in die Bereiche 12 und 13 aufgeteilt. Im Bereich 12 befinden sich die Einzugstrommel 18 für die Warenbahn 20, sowie die Mittel für die Schleifenbildung auf Tragstäben 19. In diesem Bereich ist auch die Zuführung 23 für den gesamten für die Behandlung erforderlichen gesättigten Frischdampf, wie man erkennen kann, oberhalb der Einzugstrommel 18 und dem Bereich der Schleifenbildung angeordnet, so daß die auflaufende Warenbahn beströmt wird. In dem Bereich 13, in dem die Warenbahn schon in Schleifen hängt, sind im Gehäuse beiderseits der Warenbahn Nebeldüsen 22 angebracht, durch die Kühlflüssigkeit in den Behandlungsraum in feinstverteilter Form eingebracht wird, um die insbesondere bei Beginn der Behandlung durch die Bildung exothermer Wärme eintretende Überhitzung des Dampfes aufzunehmen und diesen wieder in gesättigten Dampf zu überführen. In diesem Bereich erfolgt dann auch schon eine Umwälzung des Dampfes mittels Gebläsen 21 zur Vergleichmäßigung des Dampfzustandes in diesem gesamten Bereich, wie das ja auch in den nachfolgenden Normalsektionen 14 der Fall ist, wobei die Gebläse entweder so geschaltet sein können, daß sie auf beiden Seiten der Warenbahn gegeneinander blasen, oder daß je Sektion nur ein Gebläse läuft, die Seiten jedoch wechseln, so daß eine Konteranordnung entsteht, die die Gleichstromführung des Dampfes durch das Gehäuse unterstützt.According to the invention, the inlet section 11 is now divided into the areas 12 and 13. In the area 12 there are the feed drum 18 for the web 20, as well as the means for forming loops on supporting bars 19. In this area there is also the feed 23 for all the saturated live steam required for the treatment, as can be seen, above the feed drum 18 and arranged the area of the loop formation, so that the incoming web is flowed. In the area 13, in which the web already hangs in loops, mist nozzles 22 are attached in the housing on both sides of the web, through which cooling liquid is introduced into the treatment room in a finely divided form, in order to avoid the overheating that occurs in particular at the beginning of the treatment due to the formation of exothermic heat absorb the steam and convert it back into saturated steam. In this area, the steam is then circulated by means of fans 21 to even out the steam state in this entire area, as is also the case in the subsequent normal sections 14, the fans being able to be switched so that they are on both sides blow the material web against each other, or that only one fan runs per section, but the sides change, so that a counter arrangement is created which supports the direct current flow of the steam through the housing.
