Component Specifications

Definition
A ventilation hood is a critical component in the dryer section of a paper machine, designed to efficiently remove evaporated moisture, control humidity, and maintain optimal drying conditions. It consists of a hood enclosure, exhaust ducts, air supply systems, and control mechanisms to ensure uniform drying and energy efficiency.
Working Principle
The ventilation hood operates by creating controlled airflow over the paper web as it passes through heated dryer cylinders. It extracts moisture-laden air through exhaust systems while supplying conditioned air to maintain temperature and humidity balance, utilizing principles of heat transfer, fluid dynamics, and mass transfer.
Materials
Typically constructed from corrosion-resistant materials: stainless steel (AISI 304/316), aluminum alloys, or coated carbon steel. Insulation materials include mineral wool or fiberglass. Gaskets and seals are made from high-temperature silicone or EPDM rubber.
Technical Parameters
  • Noise Level <85 dB(A)
  • Pressure Drop 100-500 Pa
  • Airflow Capacity 10,000-50,000 m³/h
  • Humidity Control ±5% RH
  • Temperature Range 50-150°C
Standards
ISO 12100, ISO 13849, DIN 24163, DIN EN 1505
