Dryer Section Energy System Measurement and Energy-saving Potential Analysis for a Paper Machine.

In this paper, a detailed dryer section audit was conducted on a paper machine to evaluate its energy performance. The methodology and instruments used for field measurements are introduced as an important part of dryer audit. The deficiency points which limit drying performance of the paper machine are identified based on the tested data, It was found that significant energy savings can be achieved in the studied paper machine.
