According to the present invention waste 7 is dried by applying the waste 7 to a floor 4 comprising several floor segments 34, 44, 46 and by conveying the waste 7 by a push floor mechanism in which only a part of the floor segments 34, 44, 46 is moved at a time in a direction of movement 8 or a counter direction 61. The energy for drying the waste 7 is provided by warm air 11 through openings 38 in the floor segments 34, 44, 46 from a pressure chamber 3 through the floor 4 into the waste 7 and through the waste 7.

A system and method for drying and utilizing spent grain includes an agitation device having an elongated semi-cylindrical mixing chamber with a motor-driven shaft and a plurality of agitators. A lid is hingedly positioned along the top end of the chamber and is connected to the dehumidification system by a pair of air ducts. An air filtration device is interposed between the air output of the agitation device and the air input of the dehumidification system. A method of drying spent grain includes the steps of pouring spent grain into the interior space of the chamber, securing the lid in the closed position, agitating the grain inside the chamber via the agitators, removing damp air from the interior space of the chamber, and introducing dry warm air to the interior space of the chamber until a moisture content of the spent grain achieves a user specified level.

A lint catching system is provided for a clothes dryer. The lint catching system filters lint from exhaust air expelled from the clothes dryer.

An ash-collecting and exhaust device for a grain dryer has a body, a fan unit, and a driving unit. The body is a hollow barrel, and has an air inlet, an air outlet, and an internal surface being divergent adjacent to the air inlet. The fan unit is rotatably mounted in the body to enable external air to flow into the body via the air inlet and flow out of the body via the air outlet, and has an external surface being obliquely divergent to form an oblique passage between the body and the fan unit. The driving unit is securely mounted on the body, is connected to the fan unit to enable the fan unit to rotate relative to the body to guide the external air flowing into the body.

A housing apparatus, as part of a clothes dryer's gaseous fluid exhaust system containing components for maintaining an open restriction free airflow passageway for maintaining the dryer's efficiency and sized to fit within a typical wall cavity of a building.

A means for filtering and removing excess clothes lint, preventing entry of lint particulate into an upper exhaust vent pipe or blend with down falling condensate, both being derived from a clothes dryer's warm moist exhaust airflow.

A diverter to direct the exhaust airflow to a primary exterior location or to a secondary interior location.

A means to separate falling condensate from exhaust airflow and dispose the condensate into an exclusive disposal destination.

The elements of this invention combine to increase the efficiency, longer life and safety of a clothes dryer and its exhaust system by removing lint particulate and separate exhaust airflow from falling condensate within the clothes dryer exhaust system.

A baghouse apparatus for removing particulates from a 100% recycled asphalt pavement dryer exhaust air stream includes a drop out zone section having a water spray operable to initially drench an incoming air exhaust stream with water droplets while increasing air stream velocity, then slow the air stream velocity to cause drop out of particulates >1000 m from the slowed waste air stream, and collect the particulates dropped out of the waste air exhaust stream. The apparatus also includes a cyclonic scrubber section for further cooling the waste air exhaust stream while subjected the stream to a further water spray to condense aerosol vapor into droplets, a prefilter filtration section operable to collect and remove condensed aerosol droplets from the waste air stream; and a coalescing filtration section operable to remove 99% of remaining particulates from the waste air stream before discharge of the air stream to atmosphere.

The invention provides a balanced drying system, comprising an air supply and exhaust main pipeline, and at least two groups of drying units; the drying units each comprises a unit air supply fan and a drying oven, the drying units each is provided with a unit air inlet and a unit air outlet, the drying oven is provided with a drying oven air inlet and a drying oven air outlet, and all of the groups of the drying units are disposed in pairs at intervals on the air supply and exhaust main pipeline via the unit air inlet and the unit air outlet, the unit air inlet is connected with the drying oven air inlet, and the unit air outlet is connected with the drying oven air outlet. The invention has the advantages of concise and stable system, simple adjustment, low exhaust air volume, low energy consumption and the like.

The clothes dryer ventilation system is adapted for use with a dryer. The clothes dryer ventilation system is a duct with a damper that routes the exhaust air discharged from a dryer to either 1) an exhaust vent leading out of the building the dryer is located in; or, 2) a recirculation vent that directs the discharged exhaust air into the interior of the building the dryer is located in. The clothes dryer ventilation system further comprises a filter assembly that filters the discharged exhaust air before release. The clothes dryer ventilation system comprises a master duct, a damper, a filter assembly, and a vent.

The present invention includes a spray drying disposable device for use in a spray drying system. The disposable has a spray drying head and a plasma drying chamber. The head has a spray dry nozzle assembly in fluid communication with the plasma source and the pressurized aerosol gas source. The pressurized gas flows in a vortex pattern that atomizes plasma droplets in the chamber. The head also includes a plenum has uniform air pressure of the drying gas. A baffle plate forms the floor of the plenum having drying gas jets that supply drying gas to the chamber. The atomized plasma droplets evaporate in the presence of the drying gas emitted from the jets to obtain dried plasma particles and humid air. A capture filter captures the dried plasma particles and allows the humid air to pass. The humid air passes through the gas outlet and the exhaust port.
