Simulation model for industrial dryers: Reduction of drying times of ceramics and saving energy
- TNO Inst. of Applied Physics, Delft (Netherlands)
A procedure was outlined to optimize industrial dryers for ceramics. The procedure consists of drying experiments on full-size products in a lab dryer, measurements of characteristics of the dryer and by simulations with DrySim. DrySim is a flexible simulation program in which a user can model his own dryer with predefined components. Two examples are given, the optimization of a chamber dryer and the optimization of a tunnel dryer. In both examples the production of the existing dryers could be increased and at the same time cost of energy could be reduced by optimal use of waste air of kilns and minimizing mixing of kiln air with ambient air.
