Detailed Description

In the course of this description, like numbers and symbols will be used to identify like elements, in accordance with the different views illustrating the invention. For the sake of clarity, some repetition of reference symbols is omitted in the figures.

In the example of fig. 1, the nozzle system 10 comprises an overpressure nozzle section 20 and direct impingement nozzle sections 25A, 25B arranged symmetrically on both sides of the overpressure nozzle section 20. The direct impingement nozzle portions 25A, 25B are combined with the overpressure nozzle portion 20 such that no discharge channel for discharging gas is formed between the direct impingement nozzle portions 25A, 25B and the overpressure nozzle portion 20.

The overpressure nozzle section 20 has a bearing surface 24 and, on both sides of the bearing surface 24, nozzle bore rows formed by the nozzle bores 18A, 18B and extending in the length direction of the nozzle system 10, and the nozzle bores 18A, 18B are arranged to blow out gas streams which are directed relative to each other by means of curved coanda surfaces 22A, 22B formed on each side of the bearing surface 24. The overpressure nozzle section 20 comprises on the carrying surface 24 an array of direct impingement nozzle holes 21 configured to provide direct impingement blow air by means of a gas flow directed substantially perpendicularly with respect to the upper surface of the overpressure nozzle section 20. In the example of FIG. 1, the bearing surfaces are flat between the upper ends of the curved coanda surfaces 22A, 22B and at the same level as the upper ends of the curved coanda surfaces 22A, 22B.

The direct impact nozzle portion 25A, 25B extending in the length direction of the nozzle system 10 includes at least one row of nozzle holes formed by the nozzle holes 16A, 16B, the nozzle holes 16A, 16B being formed for blowing out an air flow substantially perpendicular with respect to the upper surface of the direct impact nozzle portion 25A, 25B. The direct impact nozzle portions 25A, 25B according to fig. 1 have a flat nozzle surface, the nozzle bores 16A, 16B being located in three adjacent rows.

The nozzle system is of unitary construction and the gas to be blown out through the nozzle holes 16A, 16B, 18A, 18B, 21 is guided from the inlet channel 11 through openings 13A, 13B in the partition walls 12A, 12B between the inlet channel 11 and the side air channels 14A, 14B for overpressure nozzle holes 18A, 18B and direct impact nozzle holes 16A, 16B, respectively. The gas to be blown out through the nozzle bores 21 of the bearing surface 24 of the overpressure nozzle section 20 is guided from the intake channel 11 directly or through the side air channels 14A, 14B (fig. 5). In the figure, the direction of gas travel and flow is shown by the arrows.

The example shown in fig. 2 corresponds to the example shown in fig. 1, but instead of the bearing surface 24 being flat at the same level as the upper ends of the curved coanda surfaces 22A, 22B, the bearing surface 24 is concave in fig. 2 relative to the level of the upper ends of the curved coanda surfaces 22A, 22B. In case the passing fiber web tends to travel very close to the upper surface of the nozzle system 10, the bearing surface 24 positioned in the recess 23 provides a benefit, since the direct impingement nozzle holes 21 are located at a more ideal distance in terms of heat transfer and are less prone to clogging.

The example shown in fig. 3 corresponds to the example shown in fig. 2, but the recess 23 is wider and deeper than in the example of fig. 2.

The example shown in fig. 4 corresponds to the example shown in fig. 1, but instead of having one row of direct impact nozzle holes 21 on the bearing surface 24, there are two rows of direct impact nozzle holes 21A, 21B in fig. 4. Furthermore, more than two rows of direct impingement nozzle holes 21 may be located on the bearing surface.

The example shown in fig. 5 corresponds to the example shown in fig. 4, but the gas to be blown out through the nozzle bores 16A, 16B, 18A, 18B, 21 is guided from the inlet channel 11 through the openings 13A, 13B in the partition walls 12A, 12B between the inlet channel 11 and the side air channels 14A, 14B for directly impacting the nozzle bores 16A, 16B and the nozzle bores 21A, 21B for the overpressure nozzle bores 18A, 18B and for the bearing surfaces 24 of the overpressure nozzle portion 20.

The example shown in fig. 6 corresponds to the example shown in fig. 1, but instead gas to be blown out through the nozzle holes 21 of the bearing surface 24 of the overpressure nozzle portion 20 is guided from the inlet channel 11 via the pressure equalizing chamber 26 through the pressure equalizing holes 27. In this figure, the direction of gas travel and flow is shown by the arrows.

In the nozzle system 10 according to the invention and the examples of the figures, the gas distribution between the direct impact nozzle bores 16A, 16B, the direct impact nozzle bore 21 of the bearing surface 24 and the overpressure nozzle bores 18A, 18B is as follows: 25-55% of the total gas quantity is blown out through the direct impact nozzle holes 16A, 16B, 30-60% of the total gas quantity is blown out through the overpressure nozzle holes 18A, 18B, and 10-25% of the total gas quantity is blown out through the direct impact nozzle hole 21 of the bearing surface 24. The variation between the distribution of the gas amounts for different nozzle holes is selected according to the purpose of use of the nozzle system 10.

The diameter of the direct impact nozzle bores 16A, 16B, the diameter of the direct impact nozzle bore 21 of the bearing surface 24 and the diameter of the overpressure nozzle bores 18A, 18B are in the range from 2mm to 10mm, advantageously from 3mm to 8 mm.

The distance between the overpressure nozzle bores 18A, 18B and the next row of directly impacting nozzle bores 16A, 16B, 21 in the cross direction of the nozzle system 10 (i.e. in the web travelling direction) is more than 15mm but less than 100mm, advantageously 40-60 mm.

Depending on the purpose of use of the nozzle system 10, the upper surface level of the overpressure nozzle section 20 and the upper surface level of the direct impingement nozzle sections 25A, 25B may be at the same height level or at different height levels. Advantageously, the upper surface level of the overpressure nozzle section 20 is at a higher level than the upper surface level of the direct impingement nozzle sections 25A, 25B.

The total nozzle orifice area of direct impingement nozzle orifices 16A, 16B, 21 is typically about 40% to 150% of the total nozzle orifice area of overpressure nozzle orifices 18A, 18B.

In drying applications, the temperature of the gas used in the nozzle system 10 is up to 500 ℃, and the velocity of the gas flow at the nozzle holes 16A, 16B, 18A, 18B, 21 is up to 100 m/s.

The nozzle system 10 is configured to be positioned above or below a passing fiber web (not shown) for drying, cooling, carrying and/or supporting the fiber web (e.g. a paper or paperboard web), etc. The nozzle system is capable of drying, cooling, supporting and/or carrying the passing fiber web, etc. without contacting the fiber web, by means of air flows (typically by means of air flows) blown through the overpressure nozzle portion 20 and the nozzle holes directly impacting the nozzle portions 25A, 25B. The nozzle system 10 is configured to be located in a fiber web manufacturing line, advantageously in a glue application or coating section of the fiber web manufacturing line. The nozzle system 10 is very advantageously located directly after the sizing or coating equipment of the size or coating section of the fiber web production line. The means for contact-free treatment of the advancing fiber web can be formed by one or more nozzle systems 10, whereby the nozzle system 10 can be combined with other nozzle systems, similar or different, to form one or more means for contact-free treatment of the advancing fiber web, which means are formed by one or more nozzle systems on one or both sides of the passing fiber web.

The nozzle system may be manufactured as a single beam-like structure that is completely ready for installation. Furthermore, as is clear from the figures, the nozzle system has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture and install.

The solution of the nozzle system provides a more efficient heat transfer with the same amount of drying air per square meter, which is an important advantage of the invention. On the other hand, a significantly higher heat transfer effect can be obtained at the same blowing speed but with a larger air volume per square meter compared to conventional drying using overpressure nozzles, which is another important advantage of the present invention.

In the foregoing description, although some functions have been described with reference to certain features, these functions may be performed by other features, whether described or not. Although features have been described with reference to certain embodiments or examples, the features may also be present in other embodiments or examples, whether described or not. The invention has been described above by reference to some advantageous examples, to which the invention is not narrowly limited. Various modifications and changes may be made within the scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims.
