TAPPI TIP0404-39

Dryer section performance has a major effect on paper machine productivity and sheet quality. Production rates are frequently limited by drying capacity, which is dependent on heat transfer from the steam in the dryers to the paper. To produce high rates of heat transfer to the sheet, high dryer surface temperatures are necessary. In order to achieve high quality, an even temperature is needed across the width of the dryers. Dryer surface temperature is therefore a critical parameter in evaluating dryer section performance. The information that follows summarizes techniques and procedures that are available for measuring dryer the data are also included surface temperatures. Suggestions for interpreting the data are also included.
