In textile wet processes, we suggested a method to predict energy consumption in tenter frame drying through mathematical modeling. The variables which affected the energy consumption were also investigated through parametric study. Two models from different systems were introduced and then they were combined into a new model for better prediction power. The new model showed that the variables which influenced energy consumption were the temperature of air entering into tenter frame, the moisture contents of fabric, and the hunmidity of exhaust gas. The results showed that the parameters which were difficult to find through experiments were accurately predicted and the energy consumption was usefully predicted using this model.
