Abstract

Drying of textiles in industrial facilities represents an energy-intensive process where a large number of measures for energy and production cost savings can be introduced. Typical measures include the introduction of energy management, waste-heat recovery, process optimization and so on. Drying is a complex process with coupled heat and mass transfer between the heated air and humid textile, where parameters such as the air flow rate, air velocity and its flow regime and textile velocity and water content represent significant influential factors. The distribution of air temperature and density inside the drying section of an industrial stenter frame is analyzed in detail using three-dimensional numerical simulation, where the textile is modeled as a porous medium to analyze moisture diffusion within the textile. Heated air is introduced into a chamber by inlet nozzles and removed by exit nozzles, the distribution of which is based on actual machine configuration. A humid textile is introduced into a section, where temperature and density distribution within the textile are calculated for selected time periods. During the simulation in the Fluent program, models of specific component transport, multiphase air flow, turbulent flow, porosity and evaporation were used. The results represent a valuable data set that provides an in-depth insight into the drying process in the industrial stenter machine.
