| Abstract: | ABSTRACT Energy saving in industrial drying by recovering part of the latent heat of the vapor exiting the drier is considered in this paper. This heat recovery is accomplished through a two-stage heat exchanger system, wherein the first stage brings the primary circuit to vapor saturation conditions, while the second stage acts as a condenser. Optimal heat recovery is assured by intelligent, fully automated process control. |
