The present invention relates to a dryer for treating a moving printing web in a rotary printing press with gas, having a nozzle body. The dryer according to the invention is characterized in that the nozzle body has at least one opening for the exit of heated gas and has at least one opening for recirculating the cooled gas.

In some examples, a convective gas bar can include a gas inlet to receive supply gas to a first portion of the convective gas bar, feed holes located in the first portion, a nozzle plate located in a second portion of the convective gas bar, where the nozzle plate includes nozzles, and the nozzles are adapted to receive and direct the supply gas from the feed holes through the nozzles.

There is provided a transport device which transports a web-shaped substrate from a first atmosphere of a first atmosphere temperature to a second atmosphere of a second atmosphere temperature different from the first atmosphere temperature along a transport path, the transport device including a plurality of pass rollers that are disposed in the transport path and that each support the substrate, and a plurality of heaters that heat the plurality of pass rollers respectively. The plurality of heaters perform heating such that the closer a pass roller is to an upstream side of the transport path, the closer a temperature to which the pass roller is heated is to the first atmosphere temperature and the closer a pass roller is to a downstream side of the transport path, the closer a temperature to which the pass roller is heated is to the second atmosphere temperature.

To perform a flame-resistant treatment on a precursor fiber strand by sending hot air to a heat treatment chamber (2) through a hot air blowing nozzle (4) in a direction parallel to a running direction of a precursor fiber strand (10). The hot air blowing from the hot air blowing nozzle (4) passes through a porous plate and a rectifying member that satisfy the following conditions (1) to (4), wherein the conditions are set as follows: (1) A/B≧4.0; (2) 0.15≦α≦0.35; (3) 0≦B−d≦20; and (4) 80% or more of an area of one opening of the porous plate when causing facing surfaces of the porous plate and the rectifying member to overlap each other is included in one opening of the rectifying member, A indicating a hot air passage distance (mm) of the rectifying member, B indicating a horizontal maximum distance (mm) of one opening of the rectifying member, α indicating a rate of hole area of the porous plate, and d indicating an equivalent diameter (mm) of the porous plate. Accordingly, it is possible to provide a parallel stream type flame-resistant heat treatment furnace having exhibiting the uniform heat transfer performance throughout the inside of the heat treatment chamber by preventing the blockage of the nozzle caused by a silicone compound generated inside the heat treatment chamber even in the hot air blowing nozzle having a simple structure.

An apparatus for dye application to textile manufactures, exhaustion of the applied dye, and drying of the textile manufacture. The apparatus, in some implementations, includes a dye applicator that applies dye evenly to a textile manufacture of varying length, one or more microwave elements for heating the textile manufacture with applied dye to exhaust the dye, and a blower system to dry the textile manufacture after application of the applied dye.

A web drying apparatus, comprises: a blow-drying part which has two blower units arranged on both sides of web which is transferred in a transfer direction, and injects gas onto the web passing through a dry path between the two blower units; a housing which has a sidewall provided with an opening facing the dry path from the transfer direction, through which the web passes in the transfer direction through the opening, and houses the blow-drying part; an exhaust part which is disposed between the sidewall and the blow-drying part in the housing and exhausts gas from the inside of the housing to the outside of the housing; and a rectifying member which is disposed between the blow-drying part and the exhaust part in the housing and faces the web being transferred in the transfer direction.

A web drying apparatus, comprises: two blower units which are arranged vertically between an upper dry path and a lower dry path disposed below the upper dry path and at least partially overlap each other when viewed from a vertical direction. One blower unit disposed on an upper side, the other blower unit disposed on a lower side. The lower end part of the one blower unit deviates from the upper end part of the other blower unit in the horizontal direction and protrudes to be lower than the upper end part in the vertical direction.

A nozzle system for a carpet drying machine includes two or more planar diffusion plates each having a manifold side and a carpet side. The diffusion plates each include a plurality of apertures traversing from the manifold side to the carpet side. Each aperture is wider at the manifold side than at the carpet side so as to define a concentrating nozzle through the diffusion plate. Preferably the concentrating nozzles of each diffusion plate flare outwardly progressively increasingly from the carpet side of the diffusion plate to the manifold side of the diffusion plate. As such, with the two or more diffusion plates mounted in two or more manifolds of the carpet drying machine, with the manifold side of the diffusion plate facing away from the carpet web, hot air blown into the manifolds is concentrated into a laminar flow towards the carpet web to dry the carpet web.

An apparatus according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes a temperature controlling member configured to heat or cool a conveyed substrate to which a liquid is applied, the conveyed substrate contacting an outer peripheral surface of the temperature controlling member; and an upstream inlet air unit configured to draw air between the substrate and the temperature controlling member, the upstream inlet air unit being provided upstream of a contact location of the substrate with the temperature controlling member, in a conveying direction.

In some examples, a convective gas bar can include a gas inlet to receive supply gas to a first portion of the convective gas bar, feed holes located in the first portion, a nozzle plate located in a second portion of the convective gas bar, where the nozzle plate includes nozzles, and the nozzles are adapted to receive and direct the supply gas from the feed holes through the nozzles.
