Abstract
The invention relates to an improvement in the art of loom and weaving room conditioning, in which the necessary moisture required by the yarn to perform best in the loom is metered exactly and directly on the yarn, whereby yarn breakage is reduced and weaving air room humidity can be lowered, thereby improving human comfort. Lint and dust generated by the weaving process are removed at their source so air contamination is lowered, improving hygienic conditions and reducing air filtration requirements. Heat generated by the weaving process is partly removed by water-cooling the lubricating oil, thereby reducing the weaving room heat load. Large peripherally located air conditioning units are replaced by smaller units, distributed over or under the roof of the room, each serving the area of 4-24 looms.
Claims4
A weaving machine and weaving room conditioning system comprising:
- a fog generating means for adding the necessary amount of fog to the yarn being fed into the loom to maintain a predetermined moisture content necessary for optimal performance in the weaving process;
- a lint and dust removal means in contact with the warp to enclose the contamination zone and to prevent these solids, generated by the yarn during the weaving operation, from contaminating the weaving room air;
- a loom heat removal means by cooling oil through a heat exchanger to reduce the heat load inside the weaving room;
- and
- an air conditioning means located over the looms, to improve both comfort and hygienic conditions and to reduce power consumption, means to evenly apply said fog on the yarn, and an automatic moisture controller to measure the water content of the yarn and to adjust the quantity of aerosol required to attain the desired set-point.
