Abstract:
Jet manifold on a device for generating extremely fine fluid jets used in the hydrodynamic jet impingement of fibers of a web moving along the manifold, which manifold is composed of an upper section extending over the working length of the web, and of a lower section, whereina) a pressure chamber of round cross-section is located along the length of the upper section, the fluid being supplied under pressure, the chamber; b) a pressure distribution chamber is provided in the lower section in parallel to the pressure chamber; c) the pressure distribution chamber discharges into a narrow fluid outlet slit opposite the cross-section of the pressure distribution chamber; d) a jet strip is mounted in a fluid-tight fashion within the jet manifold above the fluid outlet slit; e) the jet strip may be replaced through a closable insertion opening on a front side of the jet manifold, characterized in thatf) a closing unit is provided on the closable insertion opening which g) is provided at the level of the jet strip mounting position with an insertion slot for the jet strip, which slot h) is closable by an insertion mandrel.
