ABSTRACT

A tenter is very important to dry and heat-set fabrics in textile dyeing and finishing industry. However, the tenter machine typically utilizes more than 80% of all the power in dyeing system, and yet is one of the primary machine which affects quality of fabrics. Therefore, performance optimization of the tenter machine is required to reduce energy consumption and enhance quality of fabrics. To optimize the tenter machine, it is important to maintain the uniform flow rate, which can be obtained by optimizing a nozzle geometry. In this study, emboss hole angle was investigated as main parameter in flow rate uniformity and heat flux efficiency. The analysis results were compared with those acquired from bench-scale dryer test in the laboratory. The tenter machine performance simulated by Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD) was optimized by controlling emboss hole angle.
