Every paper machine engineer has faced this: production is down, steam consumption is up, and no one can pinpoint why. Calling the OEM takes weeks and significant budget. This book gives you a first-principles diagnostic tool you can run yourself — today.

The Dryer Section Performance Analyzer applies four independent calculation methods to your machine data and cross-validates the results to identify exactly where the bottleneck is:

- PATH A — TAPPI DR curve sizing: how many cylinders does your evaporation load actually require?

- PATH B — U·ΔTlm heat transfer: what is the real heat transfer capacity at current steam conditions?

- PATH C — hc/hcp field diagnostics: is the problem on the condensation side or the paper-contact side?

- PATH D — Steam system efficiency: where is steam energy being lost?

The book explains the engineering theory behind each method, walks through four realistic case studies, and provides a complete step-by-step guide to using the companion Analyzer software — which runs locally on your laptop, requires no internet connection, and exports results as PDF or Excel.

Also included: a standalone 3D Viewer (single HTML file, no installation) for visualising your dryer section layout.

Who this book is for: Process and equipment engineers at paper mills working on dryer section performance, energy optimisation, or machine speed improvement projects.
