Abstract

A textile machine for continuously convectively heat treating a textile fabric web with ambient air, includes a loop for ambient air, a blower in the loop forcing the ambient air through the loop, an intake chamber upstream of the blower in the loop, a heat exchanger in the intake chamber for heating the ambient air, the heat exchanger having a hot side, a first section for preheating a first partial flow diverted from the ambient air containing harmful substances and a second section for heating a second partial flow diverted from the ambient air, a connecting conduit in the intake chamber receiving the first partial flow from the first section, a burner disposed inside the intake chamber receiving the first partial flow of the ambient air from the connecting conduit, a combustion chamber adjoining the burner in the intake chamber for thermal after-burning of the harmful substances at a given sufficient combustion temperature, another conduit for feeding heat liberated in the after-burning to the hot side of the heat exchanger, a bypass for adjusting the second partial flow, and a waste air conduit adjoining the heat exchanger and leading out of the machine.
