Abstract
A heating device for heating a yarn, in particular in a texturing machine. The heating device comprises a thin-walled heating tube, which can be evenly heated on its circumference by a heating jacket. Fitted within the peripheral wall of the heating tube is an insert, which forms a yarn channel extending between a yarn inlet and a yarn outlet for guiding the yarn. The insert is formed by a special section rail that is open along one long side, and fitted with its opposite long side to the wall of the heating tube. As a result, the yarn channel is formed between the open long side of the special section rail and the wall of the heating tube, so that it is possible to supply heat to the yarn channel directly via the wall of the heating tube.
Claims9
A heating device for heating an advancing yarn in a yarn processing machine, comprising
- an elongate thin-walled heating tube which comprises a peripheral wall,
- a heating jacket surrounding the heating tube so that the peripheral wall of the heating tube can be evenly heated about its circumference from the outside, and
- an insert positioned within the peripheral wall of the heating tube so as to form a yarn channel within the tube which has a yarn inlet and a yarn outlet for guiding the advancing yarn therethrough, said insert being formed by a special section rail which includes an open long side and an oppositely facing second long side, with the yarn channel being formed between the open long side and the peripheral wall of the heating tube, and with the second long side being fitted against the peripheral wall of the heating tube.
