A study in which energy measurements were made on a continuous carpet dyeing range is discussed. One objective of the study was to determine the energy con sumption per mass of carpet dyed on a typical range. To achieve this, the two kinds of energy, thermal and electrical, that are consumed in the continuous process were measured on the range. A second objective of the investigation was to identify the energy conservation potential of each step of the continuous dyeing process. Mea surements were made so that thermal balances on the components of the Kuster Range could be generated.
