Abstract

The temperature of the dye bath in a vat or trough (1) is controlled in dependence on absorption change, which is photometrically sensed. A command value of dye acceptance speed related to temperature of the dye within the vat is provided, compared with actual temperature, and a control signal is derived which, in turn, controls a heat exchanger supplied, selectively, with a heating or cooling medium in order to control dye acceptance of at least one predetermined dye component of the bath by the material therein.
