In a doubler twisting process, it is a recent tendency to enlarge the yarn package and increase the rotating speed of the pirn. At the same time, the energy cost becomes a major part in the manufacturing cost of yarn. Therefore, it is important problem to save energy consumed in the operation process. In order to improve the efficiency in saving energy, we have investigated the relationship between the power and the diameter of the pirn, and the following results are obtained.
(1) The power to rotate the pirn consists of the force of stirring the air around the pirn and the tension of taking up the yarn. As the radius of the pirn was enlarged from 26mm to 66mm, the power to stir the air increased three times. On the other band, the power taking up the yarn slightly increased with increasing the pirn radius, although the power was almost occupied by the yarn take-up, when the pirn radius was 26mm.
(2) The coefficient of friction between the rotating pirn and the air was 0.0048_??_0.0055.
(3) The coefficient of friction between the traveller and the ring was about 0.11.
(4) When the ring was downward, both the spinning tension and the taking up torgue increased. Therefore, it was confirmed that the energy could be saved by decreasing the distance between the taking up position and guide eye.
