A Kind of Energy Consumption Modeling Method for Heat-Setting Machines

An energy consumption modeling method for heatsetting machines is proposed. First, technics of ironing oven in heat-setting machines is introduced. Then on basis of Newton’s law of cooling, heat transfer formula in unit time is proposed. Third, by considering three kinds of conditions in production locale, three temperature differential equations are introduced respectively, and then heat power transfer from hot air to fabric is proposed. It shows mean and variance between modeling data and practice data are less than 2% by considering energy loss.
