Indirect rotary dryers differ from convective-direct dryers in that heat is transferred to the wet product by conduction and radiation through the cylinder wall or through a series of tubes located circumferentially to the cylinder. Indirect rotary dryers use as heating medium hot gases coming from a combustion chamber.

The pan dryer is a round, pressure-rated vessel that features either a flat or conical-shaped bottom. Like some of the previous dryer types mentioned, the pan dryer's agitator can be heated to maximize heat surface area (in addition to the vessel walls, base, and even top head).

A REVIEW ON INDIRECT SOLAR DRYERS Pranav C. Phadke1, Pramod V .Walke2 and Vilayatrai M. Kriplani2 1Heat Power Engineering, G. H. Raisoni College of Engineering, Nagpur, India ... while Lalit M. Bal reviewed solar dryers with latent heat storage systems and concluded that PCM reduces heat losses and improves the efficiency of the system.

Bilal Lamrani [30] used layer of pebbles for storage of heat energy during investigation of the thermal potential of forced convection type solar dryer running in indirect mode for wood. It was noted that due to enlarging in both the collector area and speed of air, drying kinetic of wood increases and drying time for wood decreases.

Introduction. Direct heat rotary driers are used to lower the moisture content of materials passing through the dryer. Materials are directly heated using heat from a combustion process; the fuel used is typically gas although pulverised coal, light fuel oil …

In this paper, an indirect solar dryer integrated with a sensible heat storage system in the form of a packed bed was investigated under the meteorological conditions of Oujda city (Eastern Morocco). The packed bed, made of small stones and assumed as a porous medium was placed in the side-mounted plenum chamber.

New build or retrofit. GEA HotSwirl is the most practical and efficient heating option for all new spray and fluid bed dryer installations. The heaters can also be retrofit to existing plants during system upgrades; this is especially important where directly fired heaters are still being used.

Operation: direct-fired dryers use direct contact between the material and drying air to dry the material, with the potential of using internal lifting flights to maximize the heat transfer. Conversely, indirect dryers use heat emanating from the drum's shell to dry material via radiation and conduction, avoiding direct contact between the ...

How Indirect Heat Dryers Process Materials. Materials are fed into a rotary drum that is encased in a stationary refractory lined furnace. This furnace casing has a series of burners mounted down the length of one side firing into the furnace …

KENKI DRYER, with 11 patents in 8 countries, is an indirect steam dryer, but it is a completely unique product, different in structure from other similar indirect steam dryers. The KENKI DEYER uses steam as a heat source, but its high drying heat efficiency means that less steam is used. The use of excess steam is not costly in terms of fuel ...

dryers [3, 4]. Contact or indirect dryers, also known as nonadiabatic dryers, are heated by saturated steam, hot water, glycol solutions and commercially available heat-transfer fluids. The last-named can provide heating tem­ peratures up to 360°C. Above that limit indirect firing, electric heating or salts could be considered.
