In this collaborative research project between ORNL and the Composites Division of Owens Corning (a world leader in the production of glass-fiber reinforcement materials), non-contact ultrasonic drying was studied as a way to enhance the drying of Dry-Use Fiberglass Products. Current methods of drying fiberglass products utilize traditional convection ovens with relatively low efficiency. Enhancing the drying process through the use of different techniques is highly desirable to reduce the overall energy consumption attributed to drying.
