Abstract

A heat treatment apparatus for yarn including a plurality of heat treatment apparatuses provided for a plurality of spindles, respectively, disposed at horizontally spaced intervals. The heat treatment apparatus provided for each of the spindles, includes a heat treatment tube through which at least one yarn passes, and a heat insulating jacket to surround the tube. An orifice having a throttling function is provided upstream of a part which provides communication between the heat insulating jacket and the heat treatment tube, while a nozzle for injecting a heated fluid is provided in the heat treatment tube downstream of the communication part. The throttling orifice is arranged to have a fluid resistance greater than the fluid resistance of the nozzle.
