Assumption and Data

The document discusses design considerations for an indirect rotary dryer. It describes how indirect rotary dryers use conduction and radiation to dry materials through the heated drum shell rather than direct contact with hot gases. Key parameters discussed include a number of heat transfer units of 1.5-2.5, an optimal L/D ratio of 4-10, a volume fill of 10-15%, air mass velocities of 0.5-5 kg/s.m2, and peripheral and flight heights.

Individual design- Rotary Dryer.

Dryer function:
Inputs solids (wt %)- 85 wt % assumed- water 15%
Output solids (wt %)- 99.5%- water 0.5%
Solids % change-= 14.5% water change.
Indirect heat Rotary Dryers are most frequently used for products with small
particle sizes that could result in excessive dust generation.
Design for an indirect dryer reduced entrainment due to fine particles and
combustion gases in direct drying will decolour the powder.
Indirect limitation - With the exception of the indirectly heated rotary dryer and
the film drum dryer, units in which heat is transferred by conduction are suitable
only for batch use. This limitation effectively restricts them to applications
involving somewhat modest production runs
(http://infohouse.p2ric.org/ref/15/14356.pdf)
Indirect dryers rely on the heat transferred through the drums shell to dry the
material via conduction and radiation. Subsequently, indirect dryers would not
benefit from the addition of lifting flights, and instead utilize tumbling flights,
which aid in material rotation and help to ensure process consistency.
