fig.2 Variation of dryness at hood outlet in function of the distance between hood and cylinder
Through the adoption of the above mentioned devices, it is possible to reach an energy saving equal to 10%.

= total evaporation [ Kg /sec ] determined by the drying balance between hood and Yankee;
B = basis weight at the reel [ g /m2 ];
S = machine speed [ mpm ];
W = paper width [ m ];
L = dryness at the hood outlet [ % ];
E = dryness at the hood inlet [ % ].
If we consider the terms (B, S, W, E) as constant, tied to technological and productive parameters, the total supply for evaporation is therefore tied to the value of
dryness at the hood inlet determined by the press action. The greater this value, the lesser is the total evaporation value and therefore the "work" of hood and
yankee. In a "conventional" installation it is clear that the two press solution, which guarantees dryness at the hood outlet of approximately 42%, is advantageous
in terms of thermal energy saving compared to the single press solution which can guarantee an average value of 38%. This however to the detriment of paper
quality and electric consumption.
Furthermore, considering both drying supplies at hood and Yankee, it can be said that the Yankee "system" is, in energy terms, more efficient that the hood one.
Toscotec has been studying for some time now an interesting solution which allows for a certain energy saving. This technology consists in the combination of a
large diameter press (TT SPR 1430) with the steel Yankee cylinder (TT SYD).
The large diameter press, having the possibility or working with an "increased" nip, both in terms of length and linear pressure, is able to reach values of dryness at
the hood outlet comparable to those of a double press, whereas the steel Yankee cylinder is able to supply a greater evaporation coefficient compared to the
conventional cast iron cylinder, making thus the drying of the paper more "performant" and economic.
It is worth noting that solutions with Yankee head insulation and therefore increase in its efficiency, bring about further energy saving.
In the following paragraphs the two equipments are described and the results of some important applications achieved by Toscotec in the industrial area.
1.3.1) Large diameter suction press roll (TT SPR 1430)
As previously mentioned, the concept of this press is that of reconcile the growing need for tissue products with high thickness and softness, with energy saving

demands. This new concept of suction press roll with diameter greater
than 1400 mm, has the characteristic of generating a wider nip compared to conventional
press rolls.

fig.5 Comparison of operative data between steel Yankee cylinder and cast iron cylinder for a diameter of 15 ft (4572 mm)
On the many cylinders installed it has been possible to verify that the heat transfer coefficient and the condensation capacity of the cylinder are on average at
least 30% higher compared to a cast iron cylinder with the same dimensions and operative pressure. Supposing that the drying is equally distributed between hood
and cylinder, the total drying capacity of a tissue machine equipped with steel Yankee cylinder is higher by 1012% (see Fig. 5 and 6) compared to the traditional
configuration with cast iron cylinder. Alternatively the same productive capacity can be obtained by increasing the contribution of the cylinder with obvious
benefits in terms of energy.
