Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and a device for the treatment of textile goods during the drying process in dry-cleaning machines, washing machines, tumble dryers and the like, as well as special devices for chemical surface treatment of textiles that use a circulating air stream and a solvent, or devices that only remove water and therefore no solvent and in which the air flow is circulated or open and those that have a heating register.
  • the work sequence In chemical cleaning machines, the work sequence generally consists of the steps of cleaning, spinning and drying textile goods, only the drying process being important for the present invention. For washing machines that provide drying, only the drying process is also of interest.
  • the invention relates to the current state of the art of machines with open operation or closed circuit based on the course of the air flow required for drying.
  • Open operation is to be understood when the air is sucked in from the surroundings and blown back into the surroundings, whereby indoor air or outside air can be used.
  • the closed circuit has a closed circulating air flow on which a condensation phase with a subsequent so-called reduction phase is subjected in an associated activated carbon system, in which the solvent content of the air flow is reduced.
  • the devices mentioned at the outset are also referred to as machines which include the drying process.
  • moisture is disposed of in machines that include a drying process using the drying process, in that air with an inlet temperature of approximately 90 ° C. is passed into the drum of the machine over the textiles to be treated and thereby the solvent, such as PER, is implemented in gas form.
  • the air flow temperature drops to about 20 to 25 ° C at the drum outlet, for example by directing the air flow through a cold register, for example by means of a blower, where the gas condenses from the air flow.
  • inlet temperatures higher than 90-95 ° C have been considered harmful to textiles. It was assumed that this is the highest temperature limit to which the textile goods can be exposed without being damaged.
  • the temperature of the goods must not fall below 35 ° C to prevent recondensation. If the temperature of the goods were below 35 ° C, the textile goods would absorb the solvent from the air and store it, thus achieving a filtering effect that is undesirable.
  • the temperature of the air in the drum is recorded in modern machines including a drying process with metal sensors (e.g. PT100; thermocouples) that are located within the device system and fed to the control electronics, whereby the temperature of the air flow is not measured, but the temperature of the goods .
  • the temperature of the goods as such has not yet been checked. Since at the start of drying more than 20,000 ppm (particles per million) solvent concentrations are reached in the drum area, which drop to a fraction of them at the end of drying, these temperature sensors are subject to heat removal, which inevitably leads to measurement errors. This is attempted to compensate by setting the inlet and outlet temperatures accordingly low. The actual temperature of the goods is therefore not recorded. It was assumed that the air temperature corresponds to the temperature of the goods.
  • the condensed solvent in particular in the case of dry cleaning machines, is drained off and collected via the cold register and fed to a so-called contact water device via an associated dry control device.
  • the contact water device the solvent from the distillator is mixed with the solvent from the cold register from the drying process in order to obtain a rough pre-separation of the dissolved water.
  • This so-called contact water is later disposed of via a contact water system. It is not possible to return the water extracted from the goods to the drying process, since the water from the distillator is obtained as an azeotropic mixture and is usually only changed very rarely and therefore experience has shown that it smells unpleasantly strong.
  • the drying process is ended via the drying control device and the so-called reduction phase is initiated.
  • a process is known in a chemical cleaning machine from DE-AS-22 36 683. This means that the heating register on the dry cleaning machine is switched off. At this point there are still solvent gas concentrations of 1200 to 3000 ppm in the drum space and up to 8% solvent in the goods.
  • the drum is therefore no longer supplied with heat in order to only reduce the solvent content in the air flow.
  • the speed of the blower is additionally reduced in some dry-cleaning machines, which is difficult to solve in terms of control technology, since suitable precise parameters for this are missing.
  • the air flow as is known from DE-AS-22 36 683, is passed through an activated carbon plant and reduced there to the specified value.
  • the parameters that influence drying are: air flow, gas concentration, temperature-gas measurement at the drum outlet or inlet, temperature before or after the condenser, moisture content of the air, gas pressure, temperature of the goods, additional heating, drying time, reduction time, loading weight of the Drum, type of goods (diffusion behavior), fluff catcher load, spin cycle, cold register (condensation capacity), activated carbon filter, air humidity.
  • the dry control or regulating device does not recognize any temperature fluctuations in the air flow in the drum area, which inevitably occur during the drying process, nor does it recognize the influences of the temperatures outside the dry cleaning machine, which, depending on the season and location, influence the drying time factor during gas phase formation up to 30% .
  • it does not control the air humidity based on the water content of the air flow, which is of particular importance.
  • this also applies analogously to other machines that include a drying process.
  • the demands of the clothing industry which do not allow dimensional changes of the textiles, cannot be satisfied by such measuring methods. If the goods are over-dried due to excessive temperatures, irreversible damage will result from water being removed from the fiber, which is particularly the case with sensitive textiles such as mohair and pure wool.
  • a chemical cleaning machine with a circulating, closed air flow is also known, in which the solvent concentration in the washing drum housing is reduced after the washing process has ended and before the unloading door is opened by drying air through the goods and cleaning or recovery devices are circulated until a solvent vapor concentration is reached which allows the unloading door to be opened without exposing the surroundings to an excessive solvent vapor concentration.
  • the cleaning device can consist of an activated carbon filter, while the recovery can be carried out by freezing. Flaps for controlling the air flow are also described, which are provided for reversing gas flows when the operating states change from closed to open unloading door.
  • the drum outlet temperature gradually increases, and with it the temperature of the goods, while the evaporative cooling capacity in the drum on the textile fibers decreases at the same time.
  • This in turn means a higher energy input to the cold register in dry cleaning machines and automatically leads to the temperature on the outlet side of the cold register rising, which means a higher solvent concentration in the air stream and is not desired.
  • Measurements have shown that up to 8 minutes of drying time are wasted because during this phase the gas concentration at the cold register inlet shows almost no gradient compared to the cold register outlet.
  • This drying process control has so far not been able to influence the gas-forming condensation processes in the air flow, since this control only detects the already liquid-condensed solvent which emerges from the cold register of the dry cleaning machine.
  • a gas measuring device is usually attached to the drum outlet. This is required in order to prevent the loading door from being opened while there is still more than 280 ppm solvent gas concentration in the drum space.
  • the residual solvent content in the textiles is not recorded here.
  • these devices are technically designed so that they can measure either in the range of 0 - 800 ppm, or in the range of 800 - 20,000 ppm. Such devices can therefore not measure the entire drying process and control it optimally. In practice, these devices are also not used for regulation. A gas measuring device with a more precise measuring range of 0 to 800 ppm is preferred. An optimal measurement of the drying process by these devices at a gas concentration above 800 ppm is not possible. Thus, the entire measurable gas concentration range within the drying process is not covered by a single gas measuring device.
  • the drying process is carried out in the simplest form by a purely time control.
  • the heating power for heating the air is set to a fixed value and the goods are treated for a fixed period of time. Since the type and moisture content of the goods are often subject to fluctuations, an energy-optimized and laundry-friendly use of this type of control requires a great deal of experience and care from the operating personnel. Therefore, a control is often used in which the air humidity is measured at the drum outlet. If this falls below a certain value, drying is complete. This takes into account different air humidity levels, but not directly the residual moisture in the textile fiber.
  • Air temperature control also takes place. Depending on the sensitivity of the laundry, a corresponding target temperature for the air in the drying drum is set. This temperature is measured at the drum inlet or outlet or both using conventional temperature measurements (PT100, thermocouples) and set using a heating register.
  • PT100 thermocouples
  • drying is generally carried out less than optimally. Basically, the drying performance is best when the air temperature is as high as possible. However, as mentioned, the temperature of the goods must not exceed a maximum value, otherwise excessive wear and damage to the textiles will occur.
  • the temperature at the drum outlet is taken into account, which increases with the decrease in the amount of solvent and can cause the goods to overheat, but the actual temperature is not, as mentioned, of the goods measured.
  • the object is achieved by a method which is characterized in that the temperature or the humidity of the surface of the textile goods is measured without contact and, depending on the measured values, the air flow, the air temperature or the humidity is influenced during the course of drying.
  • the air volume flow and / or the air temperature is continuously changed as a function of the contactlessly measured temperature or moisture on the surface of the goods and as a function of the gas concentration of the solvent in the air flow, the gas concentration of the solvent being at least based on the temperature and pressure of the Air flow is determined on the outlet side of the drum and the temperature on the inlet side of the drum is lowered if the temperature on the outlet side of the drum or on the surface of the goods exceeds a predetermined value.
  • the humidity content of the air flow can be measured on the outlet side of the drum.
  • the heating register is regulated and switched off as a function of the temperature or humidity of the surface of the goods by means of a control device, when the gas concentration of the air flow drops below a predetermined value to end the drying process.
  • the amount of water occurring in the air flow during the drying process in addition to solvent is collected from the goods and returned to the goods in gaseous form when the moisture content of the goods drops below a predetermined value.
  • a device for carrying out the method according to the invention, which uses a circulating air stream and an organic solvent or water, or only a circulating or an open air stream, and one Has drum for receiving the goods, a heating register, a control device and optionally a blower and a cold register, in that in the area of the drum a measuring device for non-contact measurement of the surface temperature or the moisture of the goods is arranged, which is in operative connection with the control device stands, which, depending on the measured values, regulates the air volume flow, the air temperature or the humidity continuously during the drying process by means of a throttle device located in the air conveying path
  • the fan provided on the output side of the drum and on the input side of the cold register is arranged.
  • the task for devices that are not equipped with a movable drum, such as Tunnel finishers and baking ovens solved by a measuring device installed on the wall of the room, for example, which enables a control of the air volume flow in the manner described above by contactless measurement.
  • the measuring device is attached to the loading and unloading door of the drum.
  • the measuring device is expediently located essentially in the plane of the axis of rotation of the drum. In systems without a drum, the measuring device is generally installed at the level of the hanging or lying textiles.
  • the throttle device is arranged in the air conveying path.
  • the throttle device can be, for example, a throttle valve or a throttle valve.
  • a temperature sensor, a pressure sensor and / or a humidity sensor are arranged on the output side of the drum and are connected to the control device.
  • the surface temperature can differ from the temperature inside the goods, but this is of no importance, because due to the physical process of drying with a corresponding need for heat of vaporization and due to the convective supply of this heat from the outside via the heated air flow Goods will always set a temperature below the surface temperature. Possible damage to textiles due to excess temperature can therefore only occur on the surface, and it is precisely there that the temperature is detected according to the invention.
  • the temperature of the goods is generally not identical to the temperature of the surrounding drying air.
  • the temperature of the goods at the start of the drying process is considerably lower than the air temperature.
  • This high temperature is then adjusted using a suitable control system with the surface temperature of the goods as the control variable and the output of the heating register for the drying air as the control variable.
  • non-linear controllers for example based on fuzzy logic, are usually required for this application.
  • the non-contact temperature and moisture measurement of the surface of the textile goods in the drum in connection with the fuzzy logic allows the different sensitivities of the textile goods to be differentiated and thus to adapt the drying process to the type and sensitivity of the textile.
  • the control device which forms the central control device of the dry cleaning machine or a machine that includes a drying process, requires the information about the gas pressure, the gas temperature, the gas volume flow and, if appropriate, the air humidity the exit side of the drum. These data are recorded by the corresponding measuring devices, namely temperature, pressure and humidity sensors, at the drum outlet and passed on to the control device.
  • the control device exerts an influence on the temperature and the air pressure in the drum by reducing or increasing the air volume flow between the drum outlet and the cold register inlet via the throttle device, which is preferably a throttle valve.
  • control device is connected to the measuring device installed on the window of the drum, which measures the actual temperature of the goods without contact.
  • the non-contact measurement of the temperature of the goods has the particularly great advantage that the actual temperature and moisture content of the goods are recorded immediately, so that a really realistic value is obtained.
  • the control device monitors whether the temperature of the goods exceeds a set or predetermined limit value. It switches off the heat supply in the heating register when the limit value is exceeded and controls the throttle device in parallel and thus immediately the temperature and the volume of the air flow. It is also possible that the non-contact measuring device alone takes over the operations of the regulating device, ie that the entire control and regulating electronics are accommodated in the measuring device.
  • a high gas concentration should be aimed for at the beginning of the drying process. This can only be achieved at very high temperatures. At about 25 ° C outlet temperature of the air flow at the outlet of the drum there are about 280 grams of solvent in the air flow per cubic meter. At 60 ° C, this is already 800 grams, more than double. It often takes 4-5 minutes to reach the optimum inlet temperature on the drum, since the self-losses of the heating register and the drum walls consume a lot of energy. A fixed temperature value of, for example, 90 ° C would mean considerably more drying time than a regulated value of 120 ° C. At the same time, however, a surface temperature of 120 ° C would damage the goods, namely the textiles.
  • a regulation of the surface temperature according to the invention prevents this damage, since it rules out any possibility of the goods overheating. This makes it possible to expose the goods to air temperatures above 95 ° C.
  • the method according to the invention simultaneously measures the airflow temperature on the outlet side of the drum, the gas pressure of the airflow and, if appropriate, the air moisture content in order to regulate the temperature on the inlet side of the drum when the cooling register is switched on by actuating the throttle device or switching the heating register on and off. Therefore, if the temperature on the output side of the drum rises above a predetermined value, the temperature on the input side of the drum is automatically reduced by the control device because the throttle device reduces the air flow and the heating register is switched off. On the other hand, if the temperature on the output side of the drum drops to a predetermined value, the control device increases the cross section of the air flow with the aid of the throttle device and switches on the heating register, so that the temperature on the input side of the drum rises.
  • the moisture content of the air flow also plays an important role in the drying process. Due to the particularly high requirements placed on emission reduction, the current state of the art brings about a disadvantageous reduction in the natural residual moisture content of the goods to be dried.
  • the intended humidity sensor can also be used to return water to the goods in the drum. If the amount of humidity drops below a specified value, the amount of water in gaseous form is automatically returned to the goods, thereby preventing it from over-drying. If the gas concentration drops to the specified value, the drying process is automatically ended. As mentioned, the drying process is optimized by the automatic control of the temperature on the inlet and outlet side of the drum. By early detection of low gas concentrations, the temperature on the inlet side of the drum and the speed of the solvent-air mixture are then automatically reduced, so that a reduction in the gas concentration of the solvent to below 280 ppm is achieved without an activated carbon system
  • Drying is accelerated by the fact that a negative pressure is created in the drum in relation to the external pressure.
  • an air flow is generated which, due to the negative pressure, is able to transport a higher proportion of solvent air to the cold register than usual.
  • a necessary ratio of the diffusion rate within the voluminous textiles (winter goods) is created at the end of drying; in summer, light textiles are also taken into account automatically.
  • This process step is based on the following control process. Since it is an airtight system in the machine that includes a drying process, the mass of air is constant during the drying process. At the end of drying, the control device can be operated via the throttle valve reduce the passage of air in the air path. This creates an increased pressure between the blower and the throttle valve. Since the mass of air in the circuit remains constant, the air volume and thus the air pressure on the rest of the system, especially in the drum, decrease. Depending on the type of textiles, the throttle valve is more or less closed. Accordingly, a different pressure drop and thus a more or less large negative pressure builds up in the drum
  • the natural fibers such as cotton, contain up to 35% and more natural water, depending on the moisture content in the air. If this water is removed from the fibers, there is a shrinkage in the textile fabric, which is not desirable. However, this contradicts the attempt to achieve the lowest possible solvent concentration in the air flow. Therefore, as mentioned above, the water is returned at this drying time.
  • the non-contact measurement of the surface of the goods can in principle also be used for laundry shortages in order to regulate the drying air volume. Even with so-called The non-contact temperature measurement according to the present invention can be used in ovens in which the surface of the textiles or the textile material is finished.
