Abstract (en)
An apparatus and a method for humidifying a continuous textile material (2) are described. The apparatus comprises: a rotatable drum (3) having an internal cavity (32), the side wall (4) of which is formed externally by a side surface (40); a tank (5) facing the side surface (40); conveying means (9,21,22) for conveying the textile material through the tank (5); and means (7) for supplying into the tank substantially saturated steam at a pressure Pv and at a temperature Tv and for supplying into the internal cavity (32) substantially saturated steam at a pressure Pc and at a temperature Tc, wherein the conveying means (9,21,22) comprise a permeable belt (9) for pushing the textile material into direct contact with the side surface (4) at least in the zone of said tank (5), the steam supplied into the internal cavity (32) being kept at a pressure Pc less than said steam pressure Pv inside the tank (5) by a certain value so as to cause partial and controlled condensation of the steam supplied into the tank (5) onto the side surface (40) and onto the textile material (2). <IMAGE>
