Abstract
The invention relates to an arrangement in cylinder drying, intended for incorporation in a paper machine and including a plurality of heated cylinders (1) arranged substantially parallel in two rows, about which the paper web (2) is taken serpentine during drying, whereat it is carried by an endless porous fourdrinier wire (3) which presses the web against the cylinder surfaces in one row of cylinders and lies between the paper web and the cylinders in the other row. For preventing the web from lifting from the wire as a result of pressure differences on either side thereof, there are blowing boxes (11,12) arranged for blowing out air in at least some of the pockets (4,5) situated on opposite sides of the web, each of said pockets being formed by the web and three cylinders lying consecutively in the travelling direction of the web. Blowing out from the blowing boxes takes place in directions such that a sub-pressure is generated in the pockets (4) where the wire (3) lies outmost towards the pocket, and an excess pressure generated in the pockets (5) where the paper web (2) lies outmost towards the pocket.
