[0031] During the course of this description like numbers and signs will be used to identify like elements according to the different views which illustrate the invention. Repetition of some reference signs have been omitted in the figures for clarity reasons.

[0032] In the example of figure 1 the nozzle system 10 comprises an overpressure nozzle part 20 and direct impingement nozzle parts 25A, 25B arranged symmetrically on both sides of the overpressure nozzle part 20. The direct impingement nozzle parts 25A, 25B are combined with the overpressure nozzle part 20 such that no discharge passage for discharging gases is formed between the direct impingement nozzle part 25A; 25B and the overpressure nozzle part 20.

[0033] The overpressure nozzle part 20 has a carrier surface 24 and on both sides of the carrier surface 24, a nozzle orifice row formed of nozzle orifices 18A, 18B and extending in length direction of the nozzle system 10 and which nozzle orifices 18A, 18B are arranged to blow gas flows, which are guided against each other with the aid of curved Coanda-surfaces 22A, 22B formed on each side of the carrier surface 24. The overpressure nozzle part 20 comprises on the carrier surface 24 a row of direct impingement nozzle orifices 21 configured to provide direct impingement blowing by gas flows directed mainly perpendicularly in view of the upper surface of the overpressure nozzle part 20. In the example of the figure 1 the carrier surface is planar between the upper ends of the curved Coanda-surfaces 22A, 22B and at the same level as the upper ends of the curved Coanda-surfaces 22A, 22B.

[0034] The direct impingement nozzle parts 25A, 25B extending in length direction of the nozzle system 10 comprise at least one nozzle orifice row formed of nozzle orifices 16A, 16B formed for blowing gas flows mainly perpendicularly in view of the upper surface of the direct impingement nozzle parts 25A, 25B. The direct impingement nozzle parts 25A, 25B according to figure 1 have planar nozzle surfaces with the nozzle orifices 16A, 16B in three adjacent rows.

[0035] The nozzle system is an integrated structure and the gas to be blown through the nozzle orifices 16A, 16B, 18A, 18B, 21 is guided from the inlet gas channel 11 through openings 13A, 13B in partition walls 12A, 12B between the inlet gas channel 11 and side gas channels 14A, 14B for the direct impingement nozzle orifices 16A, 16B and for the overpressure nozzle orifices 18A, 18B, correspondingly. The gas to be blown through the nozzle orifices 21 of the carrier surface 24 of the overpressure nozzle part 20 is guided directly or through side gas channels 14A, 14B (fig. 5) from the inlet gas channel 11. In the figure the direction of the gas travel and flows is shown by arrows.

[0036] The example shown in figure 2 corresponds to the example shown in figure 1 but instead of the carrier surface 24 being planar at the same level as the upper ends of the curved Coanda-surfaces 22A, 22B, the carrier surface 20 is recessed in respect of the level of the upper ends of the curved Coanda-surfaces 22A, 22B. The carrier surface 24 being located in the recess 23 provides benefits in cases where the passing fiber web tends to run very close to the upper surface of the nozzle system 10 as the direct impingement nozzle orifices 21 are at more optimal distance in respect of heat transfer and less prone to plug.

[0037] The example shown in figure 3 corresponds to the example shown in figure 2 but the recess 23 is wider and deeper than in the example of figure 2.

[0038] The example shown in figure 4 corresponds to the example shown in figure 1 but instead of one row of the direct impingement nozzle orifices 21 on the carrier surface 24 there are two rows of the direct impingement nozzle orifices 21A, 12B. Also, more than two rows of the direct impingement nozzle orifices 21 can be located on the carrier surface.

[0039] In figure 5 shown example corresponds to the example shown in figure 4 but the gas to be blown through the nozzle orifices 16A, 16B, 18A, 18B, 21 is guided from the inlet gas channel 11 through openings 13A, 13B in partition walls 12A, 12B between the inlet gas channel 11 and side gas channels 14A, 14B for the direct impingement nozzle orifices 16A, 16B and for the overpressure nozzle orifices 18A, 18B and for the nozzle orifices 21A, 21B of the carrier surface 24 of the overpressure nozzle part 20.

[0040] In figure 6 is shown an example, which corresponds to the example shown in figure 1 but instead the gas to be blown through the nozzle orifices 21 of the carrier surface 24 of the overpressure nozzle part 20 is guided via a pressure balancing chamber 26 from the inlet gas channel 11 through pressure balancing orifices 27. In the figure the direction of the gas travel and flows is shown by arrows.

[0041] In the nozzle system 10 according to the invention and to the examples of the figures the gas distribution between the direct impingement nozzle orifices 16A, 16B, the direct impingement nozzle orifices 21 of the carrier surface 24 and the overpressure nozzle orifices 18A, 18B is such that of the total gas amount 25 - 55% is blown through the direct impingement nozzle orifices 16A, 16B and through the overpressure nozzle orifices 18A, 18B is blown 30 - 60% of the total gas amount and through the direct impingement nozzle orifices 21 of the carrier surface 24 is blown 10 - 25 % of the total gas amount. The variation between the distribution in respect of the gas amounts for different nozzle orifices is selected depending on the use purpose of the nozzle system 10.

[0042] The diameter of the direct impingement nozzle orifices 16A, 16B and the direct impingement nozzle orifices 21 of the carrier surface 24 and the overpressure nozzle orifices 18A, 18B is in the range of 2-10 mm, advantageously 3-8 mm.

[0043] The distance between the overpressure nozzle orifices 18A, 18B and the next row of the direct impingement nozzle orifices 16A, 16B, 21 in the cross direction of the nozzle system 10, i.e. in web travelling direction is over 15 mm, but less than 100 mm, advantageously 40-60 mm.

[0044] The upper surface levels of the overpressure nozzle part 20 and the direct impingement nozzle part / -s 25A, 25B can be on same height level or at a different height level depending on the use purpose of the nozzle system 10. Advantageously the upper surface level of the overpressure nozzle part 20 is at a higher height level than the upper surface level of the direct impingement nozzle part / -s 25A, 25B.

[0045] The total nozzle orifice area of the direct impingement nozzle orifices 16A, 16B, 21 is typically about 40 to 150 % of the total nozzle orifice area of the area of the overpressure nozzle orifices 18A, 18B.

[0046] In drying applications, the temperature of the gas used in the nozzle system 10 is up to 500 °C and the velocity of the gas flow at the nozzle orifice 16A, 16B, 18A, 18B, 21 is up to 100 m / s.

[0047] The nozzle system 10 is configured to be located over or under a passing fiber web (not shown) for drying, cooling, carrying and / or supporting etc. of the fiber web, for example a paper or board web. The nozzle system is capable of by gas flows blown through nozzle orifices of the overpressure nozzle part 20 and the direct impingement nozzle part 25A, 25B, typically by air flows, to dry, cool, support and / or carry etc. the passing fiber web without contacting the fiber web. The nozzle system 10 is configured to be located in a fiber web production line, advantageously in a sizing or a coating section of the fiber web production line. The nozzle system 10 is very advantageously located directly after sizing or coating equipment of the sizing or the coating section of the fiber web production line. The device for contact-free treatment of a running fiber web can be formed of one or more nozzle systems 10 and thus the nozzle system 10 can be combined with other nozzle systems, similar or different, to form one or more devices for contact-free treatment of a running fiber web configured of one or more nozzle systems located on one or both sides of the passing fiber web.

[0048] The nozzle system can be manufactured as a single beam-like structure, which is completely ready for installation. Further, it can be clearly seen from the figures that the nozzle system has a simple structure and that its manufacture and installation is easy.

[0049] The nozzle system solution provides a more efficient heat transfer with the same volume of drying air per square metre, which is an important advantage of the invention. On the other hand, compared to conventional drying using overpressure nozzles, substantially higher heat transfer effects can be achieved with the same blowing velocity but using a larger air volume per square metre, which is another important advantage of the invention.

[0050] In the description in the foregoing, although some functions have been described with reference to certain features, those functions may be performable by other features whether described or not. Although features have been described with reference to certain embodiments or examples, those features may also be present in other embodiments or examples whether described or not. Above the invention has been described by referring to some advantageous examples only to which the invention is not to be narrowly limited. Many modifications and alterations are possible within the invention as defined in the following claims.
