(2020-01-01) Gulsevincler E., Usal M., Yilmaz D.; Gulsevincler, E, Usal, MR, Yilmaz, D
In this study, the effects of the performance of air nozzles called jetring, which can be connected to a conventional ring spinning machine, over the yarn hairiness values were investigated. To determine the lowest yarn hairiness value, experimental and statistical studies were carried out on various nozzle structural parameters. The response surface methodology was used to optimize the yarn hairiness value. In the experiment, 100% cotton Ne 30/1 yarns were produced. In all jetring yarn productions, the air pressure was kept at 125 kPa (gauge). Hairiness results were analyzed using ANOVA in the Design Expert 11.0 program. Nozzle structural configuration that provided the lowest yarn hairiness according to the statistical model was as follows: twisting chamber diameter Ø2 mm, injector diameter Ø0.5 mm and injector angle 35° as determined. Ne 30/1 100% cotton yarns produced with this nozzle structural configuration, yarn hairiness values were reduced by 12%.

In this study, a modular nozzle design was developed in which the twist chamber diameter, injector diameter, injector angle and the number of injectors of the nozzle can be optionally changed without the need of conventional manufacturing methods. The developed modular nozzle was compared with conventional nozzles taking into account both experimental and numerical analysis results. Experimental performance tests were conducted on the yarn quality achieved using air twist, which is the subject of the application of the nozzle. In the experimental study, conventional nozzles with the same structural configurations were produced to determine modular nozzle performance. In all jet-ring yarn productions, the air pressure was set at two different values: 75 kPa and 125 kPa (gauge). Yarn hairiness, irregularity and imperfection tests were carried out using an Uster Tester 3. Tensile properties (percentage of elongation and tenacity measured as cN/tex) tests were carried out using an Uster Tensorapid. In the numerical analysis, an Ansys CFX 18.0 computational fluid dynamics program was used for both conventional nozzle and modular nozzle configurations. All parametric study configurations were set separately using an SST turbulence model. Comparing the flow parameters of yarn hairiness (CFD analysis), it was found that increasing vorticity or helicity real eigen values reduced yarn hairiness.
The effect of humidified air on yarn properties in a jet-ring spinning system
(2020-01-01) Gulsevincler E., Usal M.R., Yilmaz D.; Gulsevincler, E, Usal, MR, Yilmaz, D
In this study, the effect of 100% atmospheric relative humidity on yarn properties was investigated using jetring nozzles and compared with the yarn properties of yarns produced with air operated jet-ring nozzles under normal conditions. As a humidification system, a pneumatic conditioner, also known as a lubricant, was used in pneumatic systems. This conditioner was connected just before the pneumatic distributor that supplies air to the nozzles. The tube in stage 2 of the conditioner was filled with pure water at room temperature (25 °C ± 2 °C). The air conditioner dose was adjusted to 100% atmospheric relative humidity. The use of humidified air to jet-ring nozzles had a slight positive effect on all yarn properties (yarn hairiness, yarn irregularity, yarn elongation and yarn tenacity). According to the results, it resulted in a 1% to 3% improvement in yarn quality. This study is the first example and an original study in this field, as there is no study using humidified air in existing jet-ring air nozzle studies. It was proven in this study that humidified air results in a slight improvement in yarn properties.

(2019-08-01) Gulsevincler E., Usal M.R., Yilmaz D.; Gulsevincler, E, Usal, MR, Yilmaz, D
In the textile industry, air-jet nozzles known as Jetring, Nozzlering, Compact-jet and Siro-jet are used for the final spinning of the yarn. The air flow, which determines the yarn quality and other yarn properties, depends on the flow parameters such as pressure, mass flow rate, and the structural parameters of the air jet nozzle which acting on the flow parameters. In this study, SST turbulence model was selected and 225 kPa (absolute) total pressure was applied to the nozzle injectors. Approximately 2,500,000 tetrahedral elements are used for any geometry in the mesh prepared for parametric study. All parameters solved in ANSYS CFX 18.0 with used parametric study. The structural parameters were subjected to parametric CFD analysis and different flow parameters such as mass flow, swirling number, geometric swirling number, Reynolds number, vorticity, helicity real eigen, velocity, velocity w (z-axis velocity, i.e. twisting chamber axis), total pressure, flow pressure were compared.

(2020-04-02) Gulsevincler E., Usal M.R., Yilmaz D.; Gulsevincler, E, Usal, MR, Yilmaz, D
In this study, the effects of air nozzles called jetring or nozzlering, on yarn quality which is used as an additional process in conventional ring spinning machines have been investigated. The response surface methodology (RSM) was used to investigate the yarn properties value. In the experiment, Ne30/1 100% cotton fibers were used. In all jetring yarn productions, the air pressure was kept at 125 kPa (gauge). In all samples, the nozzle length was kept 27 mm and twisting chamber diameter was kept Ø2mm. The number of injectors has been kept constant as 4 pieces. Giving the best yarn quality as a result of RSM, injector diameter Ø0.5 mm and injector angle 35° as determined. With this nozzle structural configuration, yarn hairiness values were reduced by 9.2% but yarn irregularity values were increased by 0.7%, yarn elongation values were decreased by 6.2% and yarn tenacity (cN/tex) values decreased to 5.6.
