What factors will affect the choice of drying equipment

  What factors will affect the choice of drying equipment? The selection of drying equipment is a process affected by many factors. The following will give a comprehensive but simple introduction to various factors that affect the selection of drying equipment.  

    Convection heating is usually used to dry dry granular, web or paste materials. It provides heat energy to the material when the hot gas flows through the material, and the vaporized moisture after contact will be taken away by the gas. These dry gases include air, inert gases, direct smelting gases or superheated steam.  

  This kind of drying equipment is also called direct (heating) drying equipment, in the initial constant velocity drying stage (the surface moisture is removed at this stage). The surface temperature of the material is the same as the wet surface temperature of the heating medium. In the deceleration drying stage, the temperature of the material will slowly approach the drying temperature of the medium. If we are drying heat-sensitive materials, we must take these factors into consideration.  

  When using superheated steam to dry materials, the high temperature of the materials and the saturation temperature of the operating pressure are the same. At 0. The steam is 100°C at 1MPa. For materials that may be oxidized and sensitive to oxygen in a steam environment, product quality can be protected and improved. 

     Convection (direct) drying equipment includes fluidized bed, flash evaporation, drum or spray drying equipment, air impact drying equipment for paper or pulp, fixed bed or through drying equipment, belt type, trolley-tunnel drying equipment, etc.
