Abstract
Abstract A drying cylinder in which the inside of the mantle or at least its end portions have circumferential grooves for collecting condensate. The inlet of a condensate drain pipe is placed in each groove and the pipes have been joined to a common condensate collecting pipe having adjustment means for regulating the amount of condensate from the drain pipes. The condensate collecting pipe is further connected to a condensate draining system of the cylinder.
