Abstract
There is described herein an improved method for decatizing in an autoclave wherein steam is led into the jacket surrounding said autoclave, at a pressure level increasing up to a stationary level within the autoclave. That is obtained by means of an automatically and adjustably controlled throttling valve at the steam inlet to the jacket, the valve being for instance driven by means of a microprocessor routine, and having an autoclave inlet valve associated therewith. In case the outer jacket is missing there might possibly be provided only an automatically controlled autoclave inlet valve performing also as a throttling valve, in order to have a gradually increasing inlet pressure.
Claims3
An improved method for supplying steam to an autoclave for decatizing rolled fabric in the autoclave, wherein an air outlet vent is provided, characterized in that the pressure of the steam supplied to the autoclave is variable and gradually increasing as air is removed from the autoclave through the vent and the autoclave inner pressure increases, until a maximum pressure level of the supplied steam is reached which is equal to or higher than a predetermined pressure level within said autoclave for performing decatization upon closure of the air outlet vent.
