Method for feeding in and starting a thread and false twist texturing device

A process for texturing a thread within a false twist texturing device with a heat exchanger, said process comprising the steps of:

• manipulating the heat exchanger in a manner so that thread passages formed within the heat exchanger are enlarged;
• inserting the thread into the heat exchanger and thread passages in such a manner that the thread extends through the heat exchanger;
• sealing the heat exchanger so that the thread passages seal around the thread providing enough space around the thread so that the thread is movable;
• flowing a first fluid through a chamber formed by the heat exchanger between the thread passages;
• moving the thread through the heat exchanger as the fluid flows through the chamber to treat the thread;
• and
• wherein the thread passage opens radial to facilitate the, insertion of the thread.

A texturing device for texturing a thread with a false twist, said device comprising:

• a heat exchanger for transferring heat to said thread, said heat exchanger having a first section and a second section operably disposed to one another and forming a chamber into which a first fluid flows to treat said thread;
• at least two thread passage segments operably disposed to said first and second sections of said heat exchanger, said thread passage segments forming thread passages through which said thread is movable within said heat exchanger;
• wherein said first and second sections of said heat exchanger are separable and closable along the thread path in such a manner that said thread passages formed by said thread passage segments are enlarged to facilitate insertion of the thread into said heat exchanger;
• and
• wherein said first and second sections of said heat exchanger are sealable in such a manner that said thread passages formed by said thread passage segments seal around said thread to prevent leakage of said first fluid from said chamber while allowing thread to be movable through said heat exchanger.
