byarrow 24 filaments 12 then pass through fog 26 formed by atomizer 16 whichreceives high pressure water through a pipe 15 from pump 14 water is supplied from water souce 22 filaments then pass through the interfloor tube section shown as the narrowed section of quench stack 6 interfloor tube exhaust 17 for air and water vapor then exhausts a portion of the airdrawn along with the filaments through the interfloor tube as shown by arrow 27 filaments then contact finish roll 18 and pass around and over separator roll 19 and godet roll 20 to be taken up in takeup means 21 which could be a winder or tow can droplets of water which may condense inside on quench stack 6 are caught by drip catchers 28 water is removed through drains 33 air may flow into interfloor exhaust 17 from either direction as shown by arrows 25 control for water pressure to the atomizer is by pressure control valve 29 control for air flow is by controller 32 on fan motor 31 which powers fan 30 using the system and method described above nylon 6 polymer having properties shown in table 1 was extruded through a 140 hole 34 y 34 shaped spinnerette to a denier of about 6 000 and taken up as two ends of 3 000 denier 70 filaments each at a rate of about 76 pounds per hour per spinnerette spinning and quench conditions are shown in tables 2 and 3 the atomizer was a nordson having the specifications given in table 4 and atomizing water was done as specified in.
