This paper reports on the energy conservation study
carried out in a textile printing factory
The investigation focused on 5 process equipments
namely boiler, cabinet dryer, color fixing dryer, hot
water tanks, and cylindrical dryer
Introduction
PRODUCTION PROCESSES
The layout of the processes is shown
ENERGY CONSUMPTION
Amount of steam was used as a heating medium in the drying cabinet, the colour
fixing dryer, the hot water tanks and the cylindrical dryers.
Electricity was used in driving pumps, fans, blowers, rollers, screw conveyors and
the cylindrical dryers.
ANALYSIS OF ENERGY UTILIZATION EFFICIENCY
The study concentrated on thermal energy, whereby the processes that employed
large amount of heat would be investigated, i.e. boiler, cabinet dryer, colour fixing
dryer, hot water tanks, and the cylindrical dryers
Boiler
horizontal fired-tube type with 7 ton/h capacity at the steam pressure of 4.92 bar. It
operated 12 hours
Filtered water from a nearby canal was used as feed water with no other treatment or
preheat. Sawdust with the average moisture content of 31.1 % was used as fuel.
By direct measurements of the amounts of feed water, fuel, ashes, unbumt carbon, and the
percentages of O2 and CO in the flue gases, the boiler efficiency was found to be 48.38 %
with the amount of boiler heat transfer loss being 6.32 % of the energy inputs.
Cont… energy balance system for high heat value
Boiler efficiency calculated as
Cabinet Dryer
It was an insulated rectangular box of size, 2.4 m x 5 m x 2.45 m, with the drying
heat being obtained from a set of steam pipes located at the lower half of the box.
The printed fabric was fed into the cabinet, through an opening adjacent to the
printing machine, at a constant rate by means of motor-driven rollers.
The moisture was drawn out through a fan outlet located at the top wall. There were
2 dryers in operation.
The dryer effectiveness was found to be 3.29 MJ/kg of the evaporated moisture
with amount of heat loss being 12.9% of the energy units
The analysis of dryer performance of crreid out by energy balance
equation
Where, Mwp = amount of fabric moisture evaporated
Hwp = Enthapy of fabric moisture at inlet
hs = Enthapy of fabric of inlet steam
mp = Feeeding rate of drying fabric
cp = Specific heat of fabric
Tpi = Temperature of entering fabric
Qs = Heat loss from cabinet
hw = Enthalpy from condensate steam
Tpo = Temperture of cabinet fabric
Hv = Enthalpy of evaporated vapour
Surface energy index used to performance of system
SEC value of one unit dryer 2.056 Mj/kg of dry fabric
Color fixing dryer
Energy balance equation for this system
SEC value of fabric 898.1 KJ/kg

conclusion
This paper reports on the energy conservation study carried out in a textileprinting factory of 6,671 ton/year capacity.
The investigation focussed on 5 process equipments namely boiler, cabinetdryer, colour fixing dryer, hot water tanks,and cylindrical dryer.
After energy auditing works had been performed, 9 saving opportunitieswere identified, which would require invesment ranging from nothing to 2million Baht, with the corresponding payback period of zero to themaximum value of 3.3 years.
Four of the suggested measures were subsequently implemented,
with the resulting saving of 5.426 million Baht per year.
The process specific energy consumption value was also found to decrease byabout 30%.
These findings seem to indicate that there are considerable potential toimprove energy utilization in this textile subsector.
