Description
This chapter covers (1) basic processes for making synthetic fibers, (2) fabricating synthetic fibers into yarn and fabric, (3) relevant types of HVAC and refrigerating equipment, (4) health considerations, and (5) energy conservation procedures. Most textile manufacturing processes may be placed into one of three general classifications: synthetic fiber making, yarn making, or fabric making. Synthetic fiber manufacturing is divided into staple processing, tow-to-top conversion, and continuous fiber processing; yarn making is divided into spinning and twisting; and fabric making is divided into weaving and knitting. Although these processes vary, their descriptions reveal the principles on which air-conditioning design for these facilities is based.
