Abstract (en)

The drying cylinder for a wet fiber web, of paper or cardboard, has an injection tube (5) to deliver vapor into its central chamber (6). The tube is fixed in relation to the cylinder half-shaft by a lubricating ring (11). The ring (11) has an opening (21) as a passage for blown vapor and the condensation for their removal from the half-shaft space (4). The space between the double wall (9) and the base (3) of the cylinder is divided into sectors by partitions (13). Each sector is linked to the ring (11) opening (21) in a regular cycle. The ring (11) remains static, while the sectors rotate with the cylinder to link them to the ring opening (21) on each rotation. The double wall (9) is centered on a cylindrical socket (12) which extends to the base (3) and is centered at it. The socket secures the ring (11) to the injection tube (5), and has openings (15) which match each sector and which give an escape for vapor and condensation to be removed. The ring (11), fixed to the injection tube (5), has a water lubricating action. The ring opening (21) is an axial window, cut on part of its length, located on the vertical plane of the cylinder under its axis.

Abstract (fr)

Le cylindre comporte un tube (5) permettant l'injection de vapeur dans la chambre centrale (6) ; ce tube est fixe, guidé par rapport au demi-arbre au moyen d'une bague autolubrifiante (11). Cette bague (11) comporte un orifice (21) qui permet le passage de la vapeur soufflée et des condensats afin de les évacuer dans la cavité (4) du demi-arbre (2). L'espace entre la double paroi (9) et le fond (3) du cylindre est divisé en secteurs au moyen de cloisons (13) et chaque secteur est mis en communication régulièrement avec l'orifice (21) de la bague (11). <IMAGE>
