An installation for drying a web of non-woven material includes a fan (6), a heating oven (3), an outlet pipe (C2) which puts the outlet of the oven (3) in communication with the intake of the fan (6), a branch pipe (C3) branching from the inlet pipe (C1) upstream of the heat source (4) putting the pipe (C1) in communication with the inlet of a drying device (10, 11), a pipe (C4) for the extraction of air from the drying device (10, 11) and a humidity level probe (13) mounted in the extraction pipe (C4).

A grain drying tower comprises a heater and blower separating a heating plenum and a cooling plenum. The dryer is provided with a heat reclamation/heat recycling system and/or counter-flow cooling to reduce the energy requirements of the tower dryer. The heat reclamation system comprises a chamber external to the outer wall of the tower and which is and located at a point along the drying path. The bottom of the chamber is open to the atmosphere. Hot exhaust air enters the heat reclamation chamber at the top of the chamber and is drawn back into the tower by the blower as the exhaust air exits the open bottom of the chamber. In the counter-flow, the walls defining the grain path of the in the cooling section are not air permeable, and air is drawn into the cooling section through outer wall ducts which are closed at the inner wall. The entering air travels up through heated grain to be warmed, and then enters the plenum through inner wall ducts, which are closed at the outer wall of the tower.

An installation for drying a non-woven web includes a device (10, 11), a diffusion chamber (10) having an outlet fitting (21) in which there is mounted a perforated sheet (24) creating a drop in pressure.

The invention relates to a recovery device and a recovery method for recovering heat from moist exhaust air containing particles, having a housing extending in a flow direction of moist exhaust air containing particles from an entrance to an exit, a plurality of tube elements extending parallel to one another within the housing and a heat exchange medium for absorbing heat from the moist exhaust air containing particles. In order to provide a device and a method which enable energy to be recovered from the exhaust air of industrial heat generators and, in particular, of industrial drying systems with a long, uninterrupted operating time and with little downtime, it is provided that the moist exhaust air is conducted through the interior of the tube elements and the heat exchange medium flows around the exterior of the tube elements, and a cleaning unit (14) for cleaning the interior of the tube elements is arranged upstream of the tube elements (10) in the direction of flow (SR) of the moist exhaust air containing particles.

A method for providing fresh air fed through a fan to a burner of a dryer, thereby charging the burner, when the dryer is operated with recirculating air. In commercial dryers in which the drying air is heated by a burner, it is customary to reuse the moist air leaving a drum containing the laundry to be dried as recirculating air. The recirculating air component is increased with increasing drying of the laundry. At the end of the drying operation, when the moist air no longer contains as much moisture as at the start, the moist air is used as recirculating air. The burner then no longer gets enough combustion air, which leads to an incomplete combustion. The dryer can be operated with a higher recirculating air component, an optimal combustion being guaranteed through the charging of the burner with fresh air. The invention permits more economical drying.

A combination of components for use in making asphalt concrete from a mixture of virgin aggregate material with recycled asphalt products and/or recycled asphalt shingles encompasses a direct dryer for heating virgin aggregate material; a pre-dryer for heating recycled asphalt product and/or recycled asphalt shingles, said pre-dryer using warm exhaust gas from said direct dryer to heat the recycled asphalt product and/or recycled asphalt shingles; and means for conveying warm exhaust gas from said direct dryer to said pre-dryer.

The present invention relates to a system for drying coal using reheat steam, and more particularly, to an apparatus for enhancing drying efficiency by adjusting reheat steam to be injected to coal input and transferred onto a transfer device at predetermined pressure in a multi-stage dryer drying the coal by using reheat steam and in the apparatus for adjusting steam pressure in a system for drying coal using reheat steam, a steam supply pipe supplying the reheat steam generated by a reheater is connected to one side of each of the first steam chamber, the second steam chamber, the third steam chamber, and the fourth steam chamber and a first steam distribution perforated plate with a plurality of steam injection holes is coupled to and installed in the inner upper part of each of the first steam chamber, the second steam chamber, the third steam chamber, and the fourth steam chamber to inject the reheat steam at uniform pressure through the first steam injection holes.

The present invention relates to a coal supply device for reducing dust of coal input for dry and supplying dispersing and supplying the coal in a system for drying coal using reheat steam, and more particularly, to a device to minimize dust when the coal is supplied to a multi-stage dryer from a coal constant feeder through a pulverizer in a multi-stage dryer for drying coal using reheat steam and disperse and supply the coal to a transfer device and a coal drying system in which coal which is primarily dried in the first coal dryer is inputted into the second coal dryer and thus is secondarily dried, includes a coal constant feeder supplying a predetermined amount of coal onto the upward surface of the first transfer plate; and a dust reducer constituted by an inlet pipe coupled to an outlet of the coal constant feeder by a bearing, a worm wheel coupled onto the outer periphery of the inlet pipe, a worm gear-coupled with the worm wheel and rotating with rotary force transferred from a motor, a curved pipe of which the top is coupled to the inlet pipe, and an outlet pipe coupled to the end of the curved pipe, wherein the dust reducer which rotates at the predetermined velocity reduces the velocity of the coal supplied by the coal constant feeder to minimize generation of dust from the coal input onto the upward surface of the first transfer plate.

The heat recovery system includes an oven having a treatment air with a treatment air temperature and a treatment air dew point temperature to treat a product or product in process. A zone outlet exhaust waste treatment air following the treatment of the product. A preheating zone includes a preheating inlet for the introduction of preheating air having a preheating air temperature and a preheating air dew point temperature to preheat the product. A transfer duct extends between the zone outlet of the oven and the preheating zone to transfer a portion of waste treatment air from the oven to the preheating zone to create the preheating air to preheat additional product. The preheating air preheats the product in the preheating zone to a product temperature that is at least equal to the treatment air dew point temperature to eliminate surface condensation on the product during treatment in the oven.
