Abstract :
[en] The convective drying technology is currently used in many industries but the industrial process is frequently poorly mastered and some design security factors are used. The lack of optimized conception rules lead to large energy consumptions. In the same perspective, the use of superheated steam as drying fluid expands and requests the improvement of the knowledge about this specific drying process. For this goal, the PEP’s developed a new convective labscale dryer to conduct various studies. This article presents the new dryer called VESAC.
