Abstract

The rationale and work conducted in exploring the application of high frequency drying is described. The application of HF energy must be done in a specific region of the conventional drying machine in order to take full advantage of the properties of HF energy and to correct the intrinsic deficiencies of hot surface drying and web formation. The paper dwells on certain aspects of papermaking economics and technology which stress the selectivity of the application and the benefits derived thereof. Experimental and pilot paper machine data is reported, as well as computerized simulation based on commercial paper machine data.
