Presentation Transcript

  1. The Drying Process Nigel Hewitt Technical Manager

  2. Traditional Methods • Evaporation • Air movement • Air movers • Injection Drying Systems • Tenting

  3. Traditional Methods • Dehumidifiers • Domestic Refrigerant • Commercial Refrigerant • Low Grain Refrigerant • Desiccants

  4. Humidity AIRFLOW TEMP What Effects The Drying

  5. Surface Free Water Bound Water Humidity Airflow Temperature

  6. The Way Forward ? • Traditional • Dehumidification • New Technologies • Heat • Speed • Size • Cost

  7. Heat Drying Systems • Convection Drying Systems • Open type • Heats Air • Built in moisture evacuation • Hydronic • Heats Liquid • Glycol • Problems evacuating moisture

  8. How They Work • Vapour Pressure • High always goes to low (When it can) • Add heat to a wet surface increases its vapour pressure • A 10ºC rise in temperature doubles the rate of evaporation

  9. Heat Drying Systems • TES System • Dryair System • Aquadry

  10. Large Drying Systems • Large Desiccants • Corroventa • Arid Dry • Some add Heat • Concept

  11. New Technologies • Environmental Control Units • Heating • Dehumidification • Cooling

  12. Which Method Is Best • What are we trying to achieve • Are the new systems Best • Where do we use them • Do they have issues • Is there still a place for traditional methods

  13. Any Questions Thank You
