Granted: 1906-09-27
Abstract: 12,938. Jahr, R. June 2. Drying wool, yarn, &c.-In apparatus in which air is passed in succession through a series of compartments containing loose wool, cotton yarn, &c., it is arranged that the fresh air shall enter immediately after the driest compartment, pass through to the most moist, and then be led back through the driest before escaping, so that the material finally removed is not brittle. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 1, in which the materials in the compartments a, b, c are in descending order of dryness, the valve between the chambers a, b is closed, and air, entering the compartment b, passes over heating-pipes and through the material contained loosely in trays with perforated bottoms in the compattments b, c, a in order, and is finally exbausted from the last compartment. When the material in this compartment is sufficiently moistened, it is replaced by fresh material and the valve between the compartments a, b is opened and that between the compartments b, c closed. Fig. 4 shows a variant of the apparatus in which the heating-pipes in any compartment may be cut out of the circuit so that in particular the air in the compartment a being cooler may more readily give its moisture up to the material contained therein ; the air on its first entry to the apparatus is also unheated.
