The Drying Process Nigel Hewitt Technical Manager
Traditional Methods • Evaporation • Air movement • Air movers • Injection Drying Systems • Tenting
Traditional Methods • Dehumidifiers • Domestic Refrigerant • Commercial Refrigerant • Low Grain Refrigerant • Desiccants
Humidity AIRFLOW TEMP What Effects The Drying
Surface Free Water Bound Water Humidity Airflow Temperature
The Way Forward ? • Traditional • Dehumidification • New Technologies • Heat • Speed • Size • Cost
Heat Drying Systems • Convection Drying Systems • Open type • Heats Air • Built in moisture evacuation • Hydronic • Heats Liquid • Glycol • Problems evacuating moisture
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
Heat Drying Systems • TES System • Dryair System • Aquadry
Large Drying Systems • Large Desiccants • Corroventa • Arid Dry • Some add Heat • Concept
New Technologies • Environmental Control Units • Heating • Dehumidification • Cooling
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
