Abstract
Abstract An apparatus for the inductive heating of a roll used in the manufacture of paper by means of eddy currents, such as the inductive heating of a calender roll. In the apparatus, pole shoe devices provided with electromagnetic coils are used, by means of which the eddy-current heating is applied only to the surface layer of the roll, the surface layer being constituted of ferromagnetic material, solely from outside the roll. The apparatus comprises several iron cores placed side by side and provided with magnetizing coils. Into each coil, a magnetizing current is passed, the magnetizing current being of adjustable intensity and/or frequency to control the temperature profile of the roll in the axial direction thereof.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
146 words
A calender roll for use in a paper machine adapted to be inductively heated by electromagnetically generated eddy currents, comprising a tubular inner support frame having a radial thickness, a heat insulation layer disposed on said tubular support frame and formed of magnetically non-conductive material, said heat insulation layer having a radial thickness in the range of between about 10 to 100 mm, and an outer mantle disposed over said insulation layer and formed of ferromagnetic material, said outer mantle having a radial thickness in the range of between about 1 to 50 mm, and wherein said radial thickness of said tubular inner support frame is substantially greater than the radial thickness of said heat insulation layer and said outer mantle, said roll adapted to be heated by eddy currents applied exclusively from outside thereof and to confine said eddy current heating substantially within said mantle.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
146 words
A calender roll for use in a paper machine adapted to be inductively heated by electromagnetically generated eddy currents, comprising a tubular inner support frame having a radial thickness, a heat insulation layer disposed on said tubular support frame and formed of magnetically non-conductive material, said heat insulation layer having a radial thickness in the range of between about 10 to 100 mm, and an outer mantle disposed over said insulation layer and formed of ferromagnetic material, said outer mantle having a radial thickness in the range of between about 1 to 50 mm, and wherein said radial thickness of said tubular inner support frame is substantially greater than the radial thickness of said heat insulation layer and said outer mantle, said roll adapted to be heated by eddy currents applied exclusively from outside thereof and to confine said eddy current heating substantially within said mantle.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
13 words
