' 11 Claims. (Cl. "34-'1) This invention relates to the drying of paper, and more particularly to the evaporation of moisture carried in the paper web through the conversion into heat of electrical energy furnished from a source through a circuit which includes the web itself.
In many ways electrical heating of a paper web by conductivity is superior to the use of steam. It selectively evaporates water most rapidly in the wettestareas. This tends to reduce wet spots, making the water content across the sheet more uniform. Use of electrical conductivity drying in that stage of the. web development at which the paper begins to shrink will, because of the more uniform drying obtained, produce more uniform shrinking, and thereby reduce cockling. Electrical conductivity drying can be used with advantage after the last steam dryer to produce a more uniform moisture profile across the sheet.
It is well known that the last 30 percent of the dryersof a paper making machine are very inefficient, because of the very low heat transfer rates. In this section of the machine. a large. number of dryers is required for the relatively small amount of water evaporated. This makes the equipment cost high in relation to the drying accomplished by a unit. The low efiiciency'of the drying equiprnent is accentuated by the great heat loss by radiation which occurs per pound of water evaporated. In contrast, the conductive dryer converts the electrical energy to heat right in the paper webitself, so that the efliciency is very high. r e
For the reasons indicated, conductive electricalv heating maybe used with great advantage in place of a part or all of the steam heated drying rolls, and/or ahead .of .the press section. Where felts are used, electrical conductive heating can be used to dry the felts along with the paper, or to dry thefelts by themselves in their inactive runs. Either procedure increases the drainage rate. s g
Electrical conductivity heating is not basically new.
' According to the prior practice, however, a pair of opposed feed rolls have been used as electrodes for transmitting electrical energy through the body of the paper web. In such a structure the only contact available for electrical transmission and subsequent heating is found in the very limited zone at the nip of the rolls-only a small fraction of an inch in length. The short contact thus made available necessitates the use of a high voltage between the electrodes to force enough energy into and through the sheet. This high voltage constitutes an important safety hazard. It also precludes the effective utilization of the equipment upon high speed webs.
The primary object of the present invention is to make available a safer and more effective form of electrical conductive heating apparatus by greatly extending the contact of the electrodes with the traveling web in the direction of web travel. To this end, it is an important feature that electrodes are provided which run continuously in engagement with opposite faces of the web throughout an extended portion of the web path. With an arrangement of this kind the voltage can be reduced to a safe figure, and still a greatly increased amount of electrical energy can be put into the web per unit length.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a safeguard against short-circuiting the electrodes, either through contact of the marginal portions of the electrodes with one another or otherwise. a
smarts Patented Sept. 19, 1961 Other objects and advantages will hereinafter appear.
In the drawing forming part of this specification,
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of illustrative drying mechanism which represents a practical and advantageous embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 2 is a fragmentary sectional view on a larger scale than FIG. 1, the section being taken on the line 22 of FIG. 1, looking in the direction of the arrows, and the structure of FIG. 2 being shown broken away intermediate its ends for compactness of illustration;
FIG. 3 is a view in side elevation of the illustrative mechanism;
FIG. 4 is a view in end elevation of the same mechanism; and- FIG. 5 is a view similar to FIG. 3 but showing a carrying felt belt associated with the paper web arranged to carry the web to, around and away from the drying unit.
' In FIGS. 1 to 4, only that portion of a paper making machine is illustrated with which the present invention is immediately concerned. For illustrative purposes, the structure shown may be assumed to follow the steam heated dryer rolls of a conventional machine, or to replace one or more of such rolls.
The paper 10 is fed part-way around a conductive roll 12, being pressed and guided against the roll by a conductive feed belt 14. The belt [14 is desirably formed of copper screening, like a Fourdrinier wire, because the copper screening combines flexibility with a high degree of conductivity, and is vapor permeable so that vapors may escape from between the roll and belt as fast as they are formed. Alternatively, at times it is of advantage to reduce vaporization of moisture until higher temperatures have been reached in order to take advantage of the lower electrical resistance at higher moisture contents of the paper. Under these conditions the belt may advantageously be made impermeable and it may then be formed of flexible steel or of electrical conducting rubber. The roller 12 and the belt 14 constitute opposed electrodes which are narrowly and uniformly spaced from one another, being separated by the substantially even thickness of the moist paper web 10 throughout a very substantial arc of the roll 12 (substantially above as shown). The belt 14 runs upon three rolls 16, 18 and 20, one or more of which is conductive.
As shown, alternating current is furnished from a pri mary circuit 22 through a transformer 24, which would ordinarily be a step-down transformer. The secondary winding of the transformer 24 has one end connected to ground through a conductor 26, and the other end connected to the conductive roller 16 through a conductor 28. If desired, the transformer secondary may also be directly wired to the rolls 18 and 20. The rolls 16, 18 and 20 arecarefully insulated from ground, but the roll 12 is connected to ground in order to provide a return path to the conductor 26.
The paper web varies in width, depending on shrinkage which occurs before it enters the nip of the roll 12 and the belt 14. Since it is necessary that the paper be dried along its edges, the conductive belt 14 must be of a width somewhat greater than that of the paper web. It is an important feature of the invention that provision is made for spacing the overhanging margins of the belt 14 from the roller 12. For this purpose provision is made of a pair of non-conducting belts 29, arranged to run alongside the paper in the plane thereof and between the roll 12 and the conductive belt 14. Desirably, the nonconductive belts are made of non-absorbent material, such as rubber or a synthetic polymer. The belts 29 run upon guide rolls 30 as well as the rolls 12, 16 and 20, being driven by the roll 12 at the speed of the paper web. Suitable guiding means, such as forks 32, are adjustably 3 mounted and serve to adjust the disposition of the belts 29 axially of the roll 12.
The roll :12 may advantageously be stream heated in order to avoid thedissipation of electrically generated heat through the roll. To this end, heating steam may be supplied to the interior of the imperforate roll 12 through ahollow end of the drive shaft 34, and condensate may be discharged under pressure by any conventional means, for example, a condensate collecting pipe 44.
The belt -1-4 is caused to run in unison, or substantially in unison, with the surface of the roll 12 and with the paper web by an suitable means. The belt 14 may be driven by the roll 12 through the paper Web 10 so long as no objectionable amount of creep is permitted to "occur. Another suitable arrangement may be that shown inFIGURE 4, in which the roll 12 and the roll 20 are connected for operation at identical peripheral speeds through gears 38 and 40. The gears -38 and 40 may be composed of insulating material, or they may be insulated voltage E, m that a current I is caused to flow according to Ohms law:
E=IR The energy input per unit time under this arrangement would then be determined from the equation:
Now assume that through multiplication of the conduct-ive area by n the resistance is divided by n, and'that the voltage is arbitrarily divided by m. In the resulting equation and Then
W1 'I'L W n: m .(4)
If we assume that, because of the increased area of eifective transmission, n is 36, and that m is arbitrarily made equal to 6, Equation 4 becomes Thus with one-sixth the original voltage, and a thirtysix-fold increase of conductive area, the original energy input (same total rate of evaporation) would be maintained. This is one practical way of utilizing the improvement.
-It is not requisite; however, that the energy input be limited to the original level. Had n been made equal to thirty-six and m to three, the energy input would have been increased fourfold, and a single unit, according to. the invention, would be equal in heating power to four. units under the prior arrangement.
Actually the single unit according to the invention- 4 not have an opportunity to cool in passing from roll to roll.
It has been mentioned that according to the conductivity heating practice of the prior art, the web is brought to a more uniform moisture content in the cross direction than can be achieved by other means. With the present invention this same advantage is realized, but the further advantage is also realized that the web is brought to a substantially more even moisture content in the direction of web travel. V
Under the prior art arrangement, the energy could only be distributed at any chosen instant throughout an area having an extremely short dimension in the direction-of Web tnavel. Under the invention, the energy can be distributed variably according to wetness throughout an areaof very considerable extentin the direction of web travel. a 1 o The invention is not limited to the utilization of alternating current, but can be used with directjcurrent if desired. Alternating current is preferredyhowever, because its use avoids the development of objectionable electrolytic effects such as decomposition of water in the web,
and the possible electro-deposition of the material of one electrode on the other electrode.
In FIGURE 5 a felt web carrying belt 34 is shown as conducting the web 10 to and from electrodes 12a and 14a. The felt belt 34 travels between the electrodes with the paper and is broader than the belt electrodes 14a. The current flows through the paper web and the felt belt 34 in series in passing between the electrodes 12a and 14a. The. felt belt is wide enough to prevent direct contact of the electrodes with one another, even when the paper web is not present. guides 32, of FIGURES 1 to 4 are omitted in the FIG- URE 5 construction, being. unnecessary. .In all other respects the construction of FIGURE 5 is the same as that of FIGURES l to 4. Corresponding reference characters have .been applied to correspondingparts in FIG- URE 5 with the subscript a added in in eachinstance, and no further detailed description will be given.
While preferred embodiments of the invention have been illustrated and described in detail, it is to be understood that changes may be made therein and the invention embodied in other structures. It is not therefore the intention to limit the patent to the specific constructions illustrated, but to cover the invention broadly in whatever form its principles may be utilized' I claim: a
