Simulation-based analysis of the influence of impingement drying of the energy concept of a paper mill integrate

The need to increase paper production capacity and simultaneously the quality of the paper is achieved among others by intensifying the performance of the paper machine drying section. To test new and improve existing drying concepts good simulation tools and experimental measurements are needed. Dryer simulator built on basis of a commercial mass- and energy balance simulator BALAS® is described. It is capable of simulating traditional cylinder, new combined cylinder/through fabric and direct impingement drying configurations accurately. A paper mill integrate was simulated to make energy concept considerations of impingement drying rebuilds and new installations
