"Open width washing" is a step in the dyeing and finishing process, involving the washing of fabric to achieve cleanliness and treatment effects in the widthwise direction. This process helps to eliminate residual dyes, auxiliaries, or other impurities, while also adjusting the fabric's texture and appearance. When utilizing this data set, it is important for users to note that it reflects the specific energy and steam consumption patterns of the Jiangsu enterprise under study, which may not be representative of all operations in this industry. Users should adjust their calculations when applying this data to different contexts, taking into consideration the ratio of coal consumption for the two boiler types (17:1) and the steam usage ratio for the various drying cylinders (2:1:1:1:1:2). Users are also advised to account for the fact that the stenter and pad dyeing processes require double drying steps, and that steam usage calculations should be adapted accordingly. Recycling and environmental practices vary from region to region, and it is imperative to verify that these practices align with the conditions of the data set location.
