Description

    CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
  • This application is a Complete application pursuant to Provisional application U.S. Ser. No. 60/798,209 filed May 5, 2006. All of the disclosure of U.S. Ser. No. 60/798,209 is incorporated herein by reference.
    • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • 1. Field of the Invention
  • The present invention relates to a temperature control device. More specifically, the present invention relates to a temperature control device for a metering head of a paper machine.
  • 2. Background Information
  • For a metering head on a paper machine to perform properly, it is imperative that the head be kept from bowing due to heat transfer from the solution being applied to the roll or paper. To accomplish this, the head needs to be heated to the solution temperature or designed to be thermally stable. Thermally optimized designs have been used in the past but none are completely thermally stable. Prior art arrangements for heating the head provide separate internal water chambers in the head fabrication. The problem with such prior art approach is that these arrangement limit the surface area available for the heat transfer and are relatively expensive to manufacture.
  • The present invention maximizes the surface area for heat transfer and reduces manufacturing costs.
  • Also, the present invention maximizes the heat transfer from the water to the head fabrication to keep the head from thermally induced bowing. In prior art arrangements this was achieved by having separate internal water chambers in the head fabrication.
  • The present invention eliminates the need for separate internal water chambers. This is done by creating a solid stainless steel, watertight fabrication and filling the entire internal cavity of the fabrication with water. To minimize water weight and optimize water flow, displacement tubes are welded inside of the head. To further optimize water flow along the boundaries of the water cavity, intermittent ribs with cutouts along the side plates of the cavity are welded transversely across the fabrication This approach according to the present invention maximizes heat transfer from the water to the fabrication while reducing manufacturing costs.
  • The present invention is different from traditional attempts to heat the metering head in that the entire internal cavity is used as the water chamber instead of creating small water cavities in the head.
  • Therefore, the primary feature of the present invention is the provision of a temperature control device for a metering head of a paper machine that overcomes the problems associated with the prior art devices and which makes a significant contribution to the papermaking art.
  • Another feature of the present invention is the provision of a temperature control device for a metering head of a paper machine that maximizes heat transfer from the water to the fabrication while reducing manufacturing costs.
  • Other features and advantages of the present invention will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art by a consideration of the detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the present invention contained herein.

  • Also, the fluid is water and the displacement tube has a first and a second extremity. The first extremity of the tube is secured to the front side of the of the fabrication and the second extremity is secured to the back side of the of the fabrication.
  • More specifically, the first extremity of the tube is welded to the front side of the of the fabrication and the second extremity is welded to the back side of the of the fabrication such that the displacement tube is sealed relative to the cavity and is disposed within the cavity.
  • Additionally, a first side plate is disposed within the cavity adjacent to the front side of the fabrication and a second side plate is disposed within the cavity adjacent to the back side of the fabrication.

    • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
  • FIG. 1 is a side elevational view of a temperature control device generally designated 10 according to the present invention for a metering head generally designated 12 of a paper machine. As shown in FIG. 1, the control device 10 includes a metering head fabrication generally designated 14, the fabrication 14 defining an internal cavity 16. In use of the metering head 12, the cavity 16 is filled with a liquid 18. A displacement tube 20 is disposed within and extends along the cavity 16 for optimizing a flow as indicated by the arrow 22 of the liquid 18 along the boundaries of the cavity 16 for permitting accurate temperature control of the metering head 12.
  • In a more specific embodiment of the present invention, the fabrication 14 is of stainless steel and is of fluidtight construction.
  • FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken on the line 2-2 of FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 2, the fabrication 14 has a front side 24 and a back side 26, the cavity 16 extending between the sides 24 and 26 of the fabrication 14.
  • Also, the liquid 18 is water and the displacement tube 20 has a first and a second extremity 28 and 30 respectively. The first extremity 26 of the tube 20 is secured to the front side 24 of the fabrication 14 and the second extremity 30 is secured to the back side 26 of the of the fabrication 14.
  • More specifically, the first extremity 28 of the tube 20 is welded to the front side 24 of the fabrication 14 and the second extremity 30 is welded to the back side 26 of the fabrication 14 such that the displacement tube 20 is sealed relative to the cavity 16 and is disposed within the cavity 16.
