The operator level and maintenance ability of the dryer user. 13. Local environmental temperature and humidity This mainly refers to the impact of weather changes on drying, generally flash drying machinesAll of them use atmospheric heating as the drying medium. The higher the temperature of the atmosphere and the lower the humidity, the more favorable it is for drying. However, in the southern spring and summer, when the weather is humid and the air humidity is high, it is not conducive to the ability of the dryer and affects the yield. Our country has a vast territory, and there is a significant difference in air humidity between the north and south. In some parts of the south, the humidity in winter is only 0.008kg water/kg dry air, while in spring and summer, the atmospheric humidity can reach as high as 0.025kg water/kg dry air, which is more than three times higher than the former. Therefore, hot air drying operated at lower exhaust temperatures (<90 ℃) will inevitably decrease its drying rate and increase the required time as the atmospheric humidity increases in spring and summer. Due to the increase in atmospheric humidity, the equilibrium water content of materials will inevitably increase, which will lead to a decrease in drying yield, and in some cases, the yield will decrease by more than 50%. 14. Impact on flash evaporation dryerFactors affecting production capacity Due to the same drying method, the heat energy consumed for drying and dehydrating one kilogram is basically the same, and the capacity of the heat source (hot air stove, steam radiator, etc.) matched with the dryer is also certain. Therefore, the main technical indicator of the dryer - drying capacity - is often based on the amount of water removed per hour (or * * * large amount of water removed). This indicator is measured under certain conditions, such as the type of wet material, initial moisture content, final moisture content, hot air temperature, environmental temperature and humidity, etc. Any change in one of the conditions will have an impact on the production capacity of the dryer, sometimes even more significant. Below are separate explanations. (1) Types of wet materials The type of wet material refers to the combination of material and moisture. Wet materials can be divided into ① capillary porous materials, where water is mainly bound to the material by capillary force, such as sand, silica, activated carbon, plain fired ceramics, etc. The bonding strength between water and the material is relatively small, making it easier to dry; ② Colloidal materials are dominated by the permeation and binding of water and materials, such as glue, flour balls, etc. These materials generally exhibit high viscosity, strong binding strength between water and materials, and difficult drying; ③ Capillary porous colloidal materials have the properties of the two types of substances mentioned above, such as mud coal, clay, wood, fabric, grain, leather, etc. There are many types of these materials, but the form of water binding between them also varies. The difficulty of dehydration under the same conditions is determined by the Tongluo factory. The form of materials also has a significant impact on drying, such as granular materials, where larger particles are more difficult to dry than smaller particles, while larger particles, with smaller thickness, are easier to dry than larger ones. (2) Moisture content of wet materials Moisture content refers to the percentage of moisture in the total weight of wet materials. In the formula: W - moisture weight; G - Weight of wet material; G0- Absolute dry material weight. The initial moisture content refers to the moisture content of the wet material before entering the dryer. Generally, as long as the wet material can work inside the dryer, the higher the initial moisture content, the more fully the dehydration capacity exhibited by the dryer. On the other hand, the higher the initial moisture content and the constant final moisture content, the greater the dehydration capacity of the dryer, but the amount of dry material discharged actually decreases. (3) * * * Final moisture content Generally, the drying stage is in the deceleration stage after drying, and the lower the final moisture content required, the greater the difficulty of drying, the longer the required drying time, and the lower the thermal efficiency, which also affects the yield. (4) Hot air temperature Hot air temperature, also known as drying medium temperature, is a sensitive top pipe condition during drying. The higher the temperature of the hot air, the more thermal energy it contains, and the lower the relative humidity of the hot air, the stronger its ability to absorb and carry moisture, which is very beneficial for drying, and the drying thermal efficiency is also high. In many drying equipment, when other conditions remain constant, the dehydration capacity of the dryer is basically proportional to the change in hot air temperature. When choosing a drying equipment, it is important to have sufficient data on the maximum temperature at which the material will be damaged. If the material allows, try to choose a high-temperature medium. It should be noted that many drying methods, especially rapid drying, result in material temperatures that are significantly lower than the temperature of the drying medium. For example, although the hot air temperature of an airflow dryer can reach over 250 ℃, the discharge temperature is generally below 60 ℃.
