An Energy-Efficient Method for Direct-Contact Ultrasonic Cloth Drying

Journal Article Peng, Chang ; Momen, Ayyoub M. ; Moghaddam, Saeed - Energy (Oxford)

In this paper, a novel ultrasonic transducer driving method, in which the power supply to the transducer is regulated by a binary modulating signal, is introduced for the first time for use in direct-contact ultrasonic drying of fabrics. First, the drying characteristics of different fabrics on two types of transducers are studied using continuous transducer driving mode. Then, the effects of duty cycle and frequency of modulating power signals on fabric drying characteristics are investigated. The energy efficiency of the proposed transducer driving method is compared with that of the continuous transducer driving mode. The results suggest that drying usingmore »« less

Physics of direct-contact ultrasonic cloth drying process

Journal Article Peng, Chang ; Ravi, Saitej ; Patel, Viral K. ; ... - Energy (Oxford)

Existing methods of drying fabrics involve energy-intensive thermal evaporation of moisture from clothes. Drying fabrics using high-frequency vibrations of piezoelectric transducers can substantially reduce drying time and energy consumption. In this method, vibrational energy generates instability on the liquid-air interface and mechanically ejects water from a wet fabric. For the first time, the physics of the ultrasonic fabric drying process in direct-contact mode is studied. The kinematic and thermal responses of water droplets and fabrics on piezoelectric crystal transducers and metal mesh–based transducers are studied. The results suggest that on piezoelectric crystal transducers, the response of a droplet subjected tomore »« less

Electroelastic investigation of drying rate in the direct contact ultrasonic fabric dewatering process

Journal Article Dupuis, Eric D. ; Momen, Ayyoub Mehdizadeh ; Patel, Viral K. ; ... - Applied Energy

Ultrasonic vibrations, used to atomize liquids into a fine mist, are a promising solution for the future of efficient clothes drying technology. The world’s first ultrasonic dryer—demonstrated by researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory—successfully applies the scientific principles behind ultrasonic drying, and several working prototypes have been demonstrated. This technology is based on direct mechanical coupling between mesh piezoelectric transducers and wet fabric. During the atomization process, vertical oscillations of a contained liquid, called Faraday excitations, result in the formation of standing waves on the liquid surface. At increasing amplitudes and frequencies of oscillation, wave peaks become extended and formmore »« less

Novel Experimental Study of Fabric Drying Using Direct-Contact Ultrasonic Vibration

Journal Article Patel, Viral K. ; Reed, Frederick Kyle ; Kisner, Roger A. ; ... - Journal of Thermal Science and Engineering Applications

Here, fabric drying is an energy-intensive process, which generally involves blowing hot dry air across tumbling wet fabric to facilitate evaporation and moisture removal. Most of the energy supplied is used to overcome the enthalpy of vaporization for water. Although this process tends to be inefficient, it is fairly simple and forms the basis for the majority of existing clothes dryer technology today. To address the relatively low efficiency, a new method of drying called “direct contact ultrasonic fabric drying” is proposed. The process involves using high-frequency vibration introduced by piezoelectric transducers, which are in contact with wet fabric. Themore »« less

Coupling of electroelastic dynamics and direct contact ultrasonic drying formulation for annular piezoelectric bimorph transducers

Journal Article Dupuis, Eric D. ; Momen, Ayyoub M. ; Patel, Viral K. ; ... - Smart Materials and Structures

A newly developed technique for drying clothes without thermal energy has been developed through the utilization of ultrasonic vibrations from piezoelectric transducers. The novel technique incorporates the actuation of a thin stainless steel disk in contact with wet fabric via annular piezoelectric rings, where water in the liquid form is atomized, transported through microchannels in the disk, and ejected as a mist. In such a system, resonance matching between the actuation portion of the transducer and the portion contacting fabric must be realized, with theoretical results from the developed electromechanical model showing a reduction in energy consumption by 50% whenmore »« less
